Postseason races are defined as races that occur outside the HHRT schedule, usually occurring in late March and early April.
Postseason Policy U14/12/10
At the U12/10 level, all races/camps that occur after the Kandahar festival in Ellicottville are considered to be postseason races.
At the U14 and above levels, all races/camps that occur after State Championships are considered to be postseason.
Post season races at the U10/12/14 levels are typically camps, and NYYSRA provides coaching at the NYSSRA camps. Coaching may be provided at an additional cost for interested parties attending postseason races.
Postseason Policy U16/19
The HHRT is in full support of our athletes who compete in sanctioned USSA races beyond the NYSSRA / Sports Page Cup series. We recognize the importance and benefits of our athletes traveling with their own coaches.
HHRT is committed to extending coaching support beyond the NYSSRA / Sports Page Cup races to include USSA postseason races. HHRT will exhaust all efforts to send a coach from HHRT to a postseason race in which our athletes are participating in.
If HHRT is unable to send a coach to a postseason race, we will work with other race teams’ coaches to represent our athletes during post season travel. Please understand this is only as a last resort to have representation, and that all our coaches do have real world careers to attend to as well. HHRT will reciprocate with other clubs as well.
In addition, if an athlete has a desire to attend an FIS race, we will work with the family to help support the athlete at the event. Please understand we are a USSA based organization, and that FIS races are typically being held during the week, and will be difficult to support with a HHRT coach. An FIS race is more likely to have outside representation at the event. FIS is an additional expense above and beyond our program, the cost of sending a coach will be the responsibility of the families attending.
