QHPC TEAM SELECTION POLICY
Team selection (and possible reserves) will be made by team managers with guidance from both overall QHPC team manager (Liz Murfitt), the DC and team trainers. Anyone with a conflict of interest (e.g. parent, relation, private instructor) will not be part of the selection decision for that team.
