BETWEEN:
Brisbane Women’s Hockey Association (BWHA) and
SELECTOR (as named in the Schedule)

RECITALS

The Selector has been selected by the Brisbane Women’s Hockey Association (BWHA) to select the representative teams as described in the Schedule below, which will participate in the events described in the Schedule between the dates specified in the Schedule.

IT IS AGREED as follows:

  1. Primary Role of the Selector:
    The primary role of the Selector is to facilitate, monitor, assess, and process players during regional trials, fixtures, and other events as determined by the Convenor of the Selection Committee, ensuring that the best possible group of players is selected to represent BWHA at the State Championships.
  2. Selector’s Professional and Ethical Conduct:
    To fulfill this role, the Selector must adhere to the following points:

     

    • Perform the role of Selector at all times, aiming to select the best possible players available, for teams ranked 1-6, including shadows (as per BWHA Proforma).
    • Refrain from smoking or consuming alcoholic beverages in the public gaze while performing selector duties. These duties will be determined by the Convenor.
    • Respect the image of the Selector and maintain the highest standards of personal conduct, both in appearance and behaviour.
    • Declare any actual or perceived conflicts of interest at the commencement of selection trials to the Convenor. The Selector must withdraw from discussions if such a conflict exists.
    • Respect the equal rights of each athlete, without discrimination based on sex, race, colour, language, religion, national or social origin, association with a national minority, birth, or other status.
    • Abide by the general rules, constitution, and policies of the Association to avoid bringing the Association into disrepute.
    • Observe all written codes of behaviour prescribed by the Association.
    • Understand and follow the roles and responsibilities of Selectors as prescribed by the Association.
    • No Selector, other than the Convenor, shall make any public comment about the selection process or the team/squad composition.
  3. Selector’s Responsibilities and Requirements:
    Individuals approved as BWHA Selectors are expected to perform their duties with professionalism and efficiency. A “Selectors Requirement” document is attached to provide a timeline for your information.
  4. Honorary Role:
    BWHA acknowledges that the duties of the Selectors are performed on an honorary basis. Selectors are required to attend all scheduled selection trials and fixtures, and additional events as determined by the Convenor, the Members Development Manager (MDM), Regional Development Officer (RDO), or BWHA Senior Management.

If a Selector is unable to attend a fixture or trial, the Selector must inform the Convenor and the BWHA MDM/RDO and/or Senior Management. The Convenor will coordinate the viewing of games by one or more Selectors.

  1. Collaboration with Coaches:
    The Selection Committee may confer with appropriate Coaches (e.g., Club Coaches or Secretaries) when clarification is needed regarding assessments.
  2. Selection Recommendations:
    The Selector will provide recommendations to the Convenor, who will then complete the team selection proforma in accordance with the Association’s procedures (attached).
  3. Feedback to BWHA:
    The Convenor must be available to provide constructive feedback to BWHA MDM/RDO or Senior Management regarding selected or non-selected players. Enquiries about selection can be made in writing no earlier than 24 hours after the teams/squads have been announced. These enquiries should be directed to the BWHA MDM/RDO or Senior Management through Club-appointed officials.

Code of Conduct:
All Selectors must abide by the Brisbane Women’s Hockey Association’s Code of Conduct
