Oct1, 2007 To all junior coaches and junior stakeholders: RE: National Junior Director position. Letter from Reg Gabriel, the current CUPA Junior Director and National Junior Director: While I have briefly held both positions of CJD and NJD, I feel strongly that the two positions must be held by two separate people and that the positions be distinct. Together, both Directors will give junior players and coaches a stronger voice on the National scene. The NJD position is separate from the position of the CJD in that the CJD sits on the board and has voting privileges; The NJD is directly connected to the detailed running of the National junior scene. Nevertheless, the spirit of the two junior positions is that the NJD and the CJD work in tandem on issues in the junior scene. Submissions – a one-page maximum single-spaced letter of application addressed to the CUPA board members. Please state why you would be a great fit for the position. Share any relevant ultimate playing and coaching experience as well as skills developed over the years that would be a benefit to you as the NJD. Applications will be received until Oct 21, 2007. The National Junior Director’s responsibilities include: 1) Chair the annual junior coaches’ meeting – this has recently taken place on the Friday or Saturday night of Nationals. 2) Collect player conduct forms and coaching conduct forms for each Nationals. 3) Coordinate the coach and player selection for the World Junior Championships every two years. This also includes coordinating the running of Player Identification Camps in Eastern and Western Canada (and possibly Central Canada). 4) Provide the CUPA board with an anticipated budget for each WJC. 5) Maintain communication with the CJD throughout the year so that junior issues are on the table and under discussion. 6) Maintain communication with juniors coaches throughout the country with an ear to juniors issues. 7) Work with the CJD with the focus of continuously improving the structure, the organization, and the competitiveness of Canadian junior ultimate players on the local, regional, national, and international levels. 8) Help resolve disputes or concerns about issues such as seedings and schedules Presently there is no term limit to this position so there is a wonderful opportunity for the NJD to have a significant impact on the future of junior ultimate in Canada. Sincerely, Reginald Gabriel
