Team NL ID exemption information

Athletes who cannot attend an ID session can apply for an exemption. This exemption would permit the athlete to join the Team NL Summer programs without attending an ID session. Once the exemption information has been received, the Coach and Athlete Development Committee (CAD) will review each submission and determine if the exemption will be granted.

Exemptions must be submitted before the registration deadline (1 week prior to the 1st ID Camp). For incidents that occur between the registration deadline and the ID camp, exemption information must be submitted prior to the ID camp date.

Please see the exemption information below:

An athlete must be registered for the ID session and meet at least 2 of the following criteria in order for an exemption to be considered

1) Have past Team NL experience, and submit a document outlining the program and year of participation
2) Have a Team NL coach (Selection or EEC) provide a written letter of support and describe in detail which program the athlete is suited for
3) Be willing to have their performance viewed at a provincial championship (NLVA events only)
4) Submit a player resume, outlining past and current teams, placings, events attended, and any accolades 

If at least 2 of the criteria are met, a formal letter must be submitted to the Coach and Athlete Development Committee before the registration deadline (For issues between the deadline and the tryout, send the information as soon as possible). It should explain in detail the rationale for the exemption request, as well the obstacles preventing them from attending an ID session in another region. Any supporting documentation from the above criteria should also be included. Requests can be send to Luke Harris (NLVALULKE@SPORTNL.CA)
