Team Management
Each team will have a group identified as
the PCO “Team Name” Team Management
Committee to:
• facilitate the planning of the respective
championship tournament, including seeding
• liaise with the provinces/territories with
respect to their representatives
• manage and select the developmental roster
• manage replacements for competitions, due
to whatever circumstances, including injury,
sickness, lack of funding
• prepare and submit for approval the annual
operating budget for the team
• manage expenses within the approved budget
Process to Identify Team
Members
For each team and category, there will be an
IFP-sanctioned International Championships
quota (until IFP defines quota, PCO will assume
quota is two per category), and will be selected
as follows:
• For IFP-sanctioned International
Championships quota, a national
championship tournament will be held and
the top winners in each category will fill the
quota.
• For doubles, the top winning pairs will remain
as pairs to represent Canada.

Development Roster
The purpose of the Development Roster is
to identify the up-and-coming athletes who
display potential to qualify for the national
team.
The Team Management Committee will select
eligible members from the general Canadian
Pickleball population, including the next
set of players (IFP-sanctioned International
Championships quota) beyond the national
team set.
