SELECTION CRITERIA

From the first day of competition onwards, times for the 100m/200m/400m and results for field events will be recorded and entered into the coaches relay files for each age group.

 

Track athletes will be notified by coaches if they have qualified for the relay team, this is generally the top 5 placed athletes in each track event.

​

Selection for field teams will be done by a Kingsway LAC sub-Committee.  Coaches and parents are to remember that times from last season DO NOT COUNT, only CURRENT times and measurements for this season will be considered, even if they have only recorded one time/measurement.

​

  1. Athletes MUST have competed in at least 3 competitions, 2 weeks prior to the relay event to qualify for selection.  Should an athlete not have competed in correct number of competitions, it will be at the discretion of the Kingsway Executive and Coordinator to allow an athlete to be selected if the coach or parent can show sufficient reason why said athlete should be allowed to be selected for either track or field relay teams.

  2. Coaches and parents please note, it is the right of the athlete to request to be in the field team if they choose to.  Coaches CANNOT demand an athlete to be in the track team.  An athlete can only be selected for one team - either the field team OR the track team, not both.

  3. Parents, please do not put undue pressure on our coaches.  Many of the coaches and committee are VOLUNTEERS and deserve respect for the time they give to help our athletes.

  4. Field team selections will be undertaken once the track teams have been finalised.  All training for field events will be done at club training.

  5. There are no coaches for the field teams, they will be under the guidance of the Kingsway LAC Team Manager at the stadium.

​

If you need further assistance in understanding these guidelines or the rules, please reach out to one of the Woodvale LAC committee members in the first instance.
