Selection Policy

Bowls Australia – Template
This BA template highlights all the key areas your policy should address in a clear and concise layout. Start with these topics and build from there.

Nomination Process & Role Descriptions

Victoria Bowling Club – Example

The following policy is a thorough example. Of particular note is the nominations process being clearly outlined and defined role descriptions for Selectors, Managers and Captains alike.

Player Feedback Forms

Cockburn Bowling & Recreational Club (WA) – Example

While this example is a complete selection policy document, it also includes separate player feedback and complaint forms, which create a direct link for communication from players to the Selection Committee.

Player Appeals Process

Ballarat Memorial Sports Bowling Club – Example

Clear boundaries about how and when to appeal selection decisions in an appropriate manner have been laid out in this example.

Player Preference Nomination Sheet

Leeming Bowls & Recreation Club (WA) – Example

By providing players with an opportunity to voice their personal playing goals and aspirations before the season begins, this policy allows Selectors and players to get on the same page early.

Language for Gender Representation on Committees

Bendigo Bowls Club – Example

While this may be an older policy harking back to single-gender pennant eras, the way language has been used to demonstrate composition of Selection Committees and duties provides a good example of ways you can define equitable roles clearly.
