The points have been tallied and the emails have been sent out to most of the riders that are invited to join the newly expanded Provincial BMX Team.
It is not a complete list yet because 8 spots remain on the Performance Group as Coach and Committee choices to be determined by March 30, 2009, and some initial invitees may decline the invitation as is their right. Once the Coach and Committee Selections are done, and as invited riders accept or decline the invitation then the full list of team members for the 2009 Provincial BMX team will be settled and posted. Ages on the team will range from 10-18 years old, with 40 riders in total.
Coaches are being recruited, Jerseys are being ordered for the whole team and flights are being booked for Kingston (for the Performance Group) now. So check your email box if you think you may have qualified based on the selection criteria posted here . If you did get that Golden Ticket (email) be sure to respond to it. If you are Performance Age rider that did receive the email or you are Performance Age and did not receive the email but you did qualify for the team and you would like to be considered for it then please advise the Alberta Bicycle offices of your intentions per these instructions.
To those that received an invite, Congratulations.
