Greetings/Bonjour
On April 29th, the FCA office received a tournament announcement from the Cuban Federation. A Cuban tournament is scheduled for the same dates as the Costa Rica Cup. Any Excellence Members, who wish to participate, May 25-30, 2003 should contact the FCA office immediately.
**************************************************************************************************
Le 29 avril, le bureau de la FCA a reçu un bulletin du tournoi de la Fédération du Cuba. Un tournoi y aura lieu le même date que le Coupe du Costa Rica. Les membres du Programme d'Excellence qui veulent y participer, le 25-30 mai, 2003 doivent contacter le bureau de la FCA le plus tôt possible.
___________________________________________________________________
The FCA is repeating its call for Team Leader and support staff to
accompany the Canadian team to the World target Championship in New York
City, July 11 - 19, 2003. The team will comprise 16 archers, male and
female, compound and recurve. Joan McDonald already has been named Coach for
the team. Under FITA rules, a maximum of 4 staff are permitted to accompany
a team. The team selection criteria can be seen on the FCA web site in the
Excellence section.
The Team Leader is responsible for the smooth administration of the team including assisting with travel arrangements, accommodation, entry fees and on site management. He/she works with the coach to ensure the smooth operation of the team both on and off the field. Both bilingualism and coaching certification would be assets but are not mandatory.
The two additional support staff will work with the Team Leader and Coach to assist with team management and to assist the archers in any way on the field during the competition. Some time will be required to work with the individual archers to determine how best to assist them. This is an opportunity for people with an interest in working with National Teams to gain the experience necessary to be a Team Leader and/or Coach for future teams. Both bilingualism and coaching certification would be assets.
The team budget will not be known until the FCA receives a response to its funding application to Sport Canada. It is probable that the FCA will not cover your travel costs with the team.
Applications should be sent to the FCA office by email or regular mail and must be received by Wednesday, May 14th.
