Team Ontario Summer Update

We hope that your summer season has been great up until this point! With all of the scouting we have been completing over the first couple of months of our season, we are extremely excited about the talent that this generation of athletes has to offer! 

We are pleased to announce our Team Ontario Canada Summer Games Team Staff who will continue to scout throughout the Canadian Qualifiers and Grand Championships. 

We also wanted to send out information to outline the next steps in the Team Ontario Program process for the Canada Summer Games Team and the High Performance Development Program.

2025 CANADA SUMMER GAMES TEAM:

1. Team Ontario will be hosting an INVITE ONLY Final Selection Camp for the 2025 Canada Summer Games Team (2006/2007/2008/2009s) on July 17^th in Cambridge with a rainout date of July 18^th. Please save the date! Out of respect for the Club teams and their preparations for their upcoming Qualifying Events (U19 Provincials; U17 Canadian Qualifiers), invites will be sent via e-mail and/or phone call as per the following dates: *U17 (2007, 2008, 2009s) invites will go out by July 1^st* *U19 (2006) will go out on July 7th*
2. Following the Final Selection Camp for the 2025 Canada Summer Games Team, Team Ontario will notify the 15 athletes and 5 alternates selected to represent Team Ontario. Athletes selected for the 2025 Canada Summer Games team (15 athletes and the 5 alternates) will only play for Team Ontario in the 2025 season and will not play for a summer club team. This will be the Canada Summer Games roster. 
3. Team Ontario will also announce a list of “Reserve” athletes, who may be called onto the Team in the event of injury, etc. These athletes will play and train with their 2025 summer club team. The expectation is that these athletes will also train with the Canada Summer Games athletes in the 2024/2025 winter offseason as a part of the Team Ontario High Performance Development Program. Should they get called onto the team ahead of the Canada Games, they will continue to play for the summer team and in the event of a conflict, the Summer Games Team event takes priority.
4. In 2025, in preparation for the Canada Summer Games, the team will: *Practice bi-weekly to weekly, starting in spring 2025* *Compete in 3 or 4 tournaments from the end of May through to the end of July 2025*

We look forward to getting out and seeing you all on the field over the next couple of weeks and wish you the best of luck in the remainder of the 2024 season!
