The High Performance Program registration is considered an application for the CFF HPP. As such, the CFF may accept or reject an application to the HPP if there are adequate grounds to do so. Similarly, the CFF may also suspend an athlete’s membership in the HPP. Examples that may justify a rejection or suspension of HPP membership include, but are not limited to, outstanding financial debts owed to the CFF and behaviour that contravenes the CFF Code of Conduct and Ethics.
