HPTP Tryouts Update
The USQRA is keeping busy this summer
trying to get organized for its new High Performance Training Program (HPTP). Interviews are currently
being conducted with assistant coach applicants, and will be followed by
the selection of athletes who will be invited to attend tryouts. Here are answers to a few of the most common
questions.
When
will I know?
Athletes who are invited to tryout for the HPTP will be notified sometime
in early August of their status. Those people who applied for trainer,
nurse and equipment manager positions will be contacted shortly after the
athletes have been notified. If
you have questions you can send email to jbishop@quadrugby.com
When are tryouts?
The dates for tryouts are confirmed for September 27-30th at the United
States Olympic Committee Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Athletes and staff will be required to get to Colorado Springs at their
own expense. The cost for meals and accommodations will hopefully be
waived for all attendees.
Was
I even considered?
Coaches and RAC's were contacted and asked to make recommendations of
athletes to the HPTP coaching staff. Rosters from all teams were also
reviewed so that consideration was given to all players. If your not sure
your were considered and you wanted to be, you can contact your coach or
RAC.
How
can I learn more about this?
There is a press release
available on the Sports Page, or you can send
email to jbishop@quadrugby.com
if you have questions.
