Did You Know: Strategy 2.C

Exception:

• Tournaments and jamborees from the national and provincial high performance programs.

Some out-of-season tackle football games offer little developmental benefits, whether the benefits are developmental or exposure in nature. Adding in-game tackle football competitions increases the potential risk of injury for athletes. These additional competitions also reduce player's ability to play other sports as well as focus on off-season activities such as strength and conditiong or skill development (e.g. player development program).

An application process for PSO and Football Canada sanctioned events would be established in addition to the creation of a committee to review applications. An athlete can participate in up to fice sanctioned events and tracking would be done through the online registration system.
