Canada U20 started its preparations for the qualifiers for the 2019 World Trophy against USA by having a selection camp at Shawnigan Lake School January 3-7.<\/p>\n

Thirty two players attended, excluding 5 players playing Maple Leaf Sevens in Montevideo, 3 injured players and Will Percillier now playing with the Stade Francais Academy.<\/p>\n

An excellent game of three 30 min periods was played against UBC in Vancouver on a cold but lovely day, allowing all players at camp to be evaluated fairly.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s U20 team will have a longer and more sustained preparation period than last year, with the same coaching\/management team as last year. Gethin Watts will lead the program, Jeff Williams is head coach and Adam Roberts Assistant Coach.<\/p>\n

The Portugal\/Spain tour is planned for February 13-25 with tests v Portugal on Feb 17 and 20 in Lisbon and a U20 tournament with France, Spain and Portugal in Valladolid, Spain February 23 and 24. Each of the 4 teams will play each other in 50 min games over the weekend.<\/p>\n

East and West weekend camps will take place on the last weekend of March.<\/p>\n
