- Provide services, programs and facilities that are not normally accessible or available at club level
- Compliment existing club activities
- Be understanding and sensitive to existing competitions and training periods for each individual sport.
- Capitalise on any opportunities that will benefit BSA Athletes (Outside of Entitlements)
- Maintain a wide development aspect to the program (Target age group)
- Provide a support network to BSA athletes.
Selection Criteria
- Will vary across all sports and with Individual Scholarship holders.
- Criteria’s are consistent in that they are set at a state (minimum) level.
- The BSA squad is a high performance squad and is not open to every athlete or local sports person in the region.
“Embrace the program and make the most of the opportunity that is being provided for you.”
