Teams may carry a larger roster for training camps while determining final roster spots. November 20th will be a skills camp with guest Coaches and November 21st will be scrimmages (players will be assigned to teams). December 12th could see a combination of skills and scrimmages or just one depending on what Coaches feel they need to see. Canada Game Coaches will be evaluation but SLA will also be bringing in outside experienced evaluators. Skill Shark will be used for evaluations so players can receive a report card. If selected to training camps players should expect to meet in person at least once a month until April, and take part in online training and at home conditioning. There may be a further cost for training camp participation. Arrangements are being made to play Team Alberta and Team Manitoba training teams as part of the selection process and preparation process for the games.
