High Performance Program

Canada Inline's High Performance Program will operate with
the objective to be Athlete Centered and Coach Supported.

Introduction to Canada Inline
High Performance Program

Canada Inline will assemble National High Performance Teams
(Senior Men, Senior Women, Men 24U and Junior-18U) and
Provincial High Performance Teams (10U-18U and Women)
annually to participate at all Federation of International Roller
Sports (FIRS) organized World Championships, World Inline
Cup, and other International competitions deemed appropriate
by the National High Performance Committee, including Pan
Am Games (every four years) and Pan Am Games Qualifier
(two years prior to Pan Am Games).

Both National and Provincial Teams will select players, coach
and support staff through a critical path process to identify the
best-qualified persons available at the time of selection. The
Great Lakes Inline Jr A League, operated and administered by
Canada Inline is considered an integral part of the National
High Performance of Canada Inline.

The intent of this manual is to identify and outline the various
components for the successful operation of National and
Provincial Teams representing Canada, Canada Inline,
Canadian Olympic Committee, Sport Canada and the sport
community within Canada.

The actual execution of these components are intended to
compliment one another in order to effectively and efficiently
build a cohesive team unit to compete in short term, high
stress competitive environments, synonymous with
international championships and events.

The organization and operation of the various phases of our
National & Provincial Team High Performance Program is the
responsibility of Canada Inline. In all cases the staff and
appointed volunteers of Canada Inline are responsible for the
execution of the High Performance Program.

The financial control of the High Performance Program rests
solely with Canada Inline staff and each team General
Manager. The team General Manager is responsible for
preparing team & event budgets and having them approved by
Canada Inline President/CEO and National Director of High
Performance.

Canada Inline must approve all rosters of each National &
Provincial Teams, through the outlined process that will be
delivered and communicated by the National Director of High
Performance. The purpose of the High Performance Program is
to acknowledge and celebrate the elite level inline players, to
promote the sport of inline hockey, to have prepared
mechanisms with the sole purpose to continue the
development of the largest pool of potential players which the
program can accommodate in as many areas in Canada
through the promotion & recruitment of elite players.

All coaching staff, support staff, players, officials and other
volunteers representing a National & Provincial Team High
Performance Program must adhere to the current Canada
Inline Code of Conduct and Abuse and Harassment Policy, as
well as all other relevant Canada Inline Policies.

National High Performance Organizational Structure

In order to protect the National High Performance Program
from outside influences a High Performance committee
structure has been developed. The structure is to ensure that
the operating policies and guidelines are consistent and
reviewed annually. The following organizational structure for
the National High Performance Program has been implemented
and will improve the opportunities and success of our High
Performance Teams.
