Regional Team
A Regional Development Team is formed every year in each of the five Regions of the BC/YT Section-Skate Canada. These Regional Teams, which are part of the BC/YT Section's skater development program, enhance the development of the skating athlete by offering the opportunity to participate in skating-related events within a team environment.
In addition to the camaraderie that develops among the Team skaters throughout the competitive season, the RDT program provides the vehicle for skaters to be more involved in talent identification, evaluation and developmental activities. Further benefits of being part of a Regional Development Team are:
Participants will receive:
- Talent Identification and Tracking
- Skater 'Evaluation'
- A Regional Development Team 'Personalized ID Tag'
- A Team Building Event
- The opportunity to be chosen to receive some funding to attend Rising Stars Camp
- Reduced Rates at Regional Clinics and possibly some Provincial Clinics
- The opportunity to register for the RDT Provincial Camp in April
- A chance to qualify for a Region Select Team (see Region Select Teams p.4)
- (Region Select Team selections are not restricted to Regional Development Team members
