Canceling the Youth Making the Cut Camp...Not the Elite Making the Cut Camp

To the Canadian Elite Academy athletes who have registered for the Youth Making the Cut on August 26-29th.  If you are getting this email you would have registered your child for this event.  After extensive thought and planning, it has been determined that we will not be running this event.  The  factors leading up to this decision will be explained below. 

·         The registrations for this group has not been great enough to justify running the event

·         The academy has had difficulty finding  coaches who have past experience and skills to coach this group at the level expected from the academy standards

·         The other group is going to be too large to be held in the single time slot so the courts will be needed for the Older age group.

Solutions to fix the decision to cancel the Youth Making the Cut Camp. 

Solution one:

If your athlete is grade 7-8 and is a decent athlete and has confidence we can transfer their registration into the older group.  They will be younger than the majority of the Elite group but will still benefit from the experience.

Solution two:

Get a full refund and use the money to attend some of the Elite Academy sessions during the year and prepare them to attend the camp next year.
