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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
