Rules & Policies

Version 8, 2012 (Amended 30th November 2012)

INTRODUCTION These guidelines contain the criteria applied by the National Development Coach Coordinator (NDCC), the NTID

Selection Committee and approved by the NCC and BOD, in recommending and/or determining the selection of

men and women as a National Talent Identification Development Team representative.

The NTID guidelines are part of a long-term strategy to develop the young men and women as a competitive

international base of Judo in Australia, especially towards future Commonwealth and Olympic Games. They are

designed to ensure that the athletes are given the opportunity to develop and compete at a level appropriate to

their abilities.

They also aim to promote the openness and transparency of selection procedures and criteria. It is my hope that

athletes, coaches and other officials wishing to pursue international competition become familiar with the selection

guidelines contained in this document. In this way we can maintain the currency and strength of our selection

system.

Regards

Dennis Iverson

Competition Points – 60% Athletes will compete in competitions during a normal calendar year (January to December). The competition points will go towards their Competition Points section of their assessment. Athletes are allowed to fight in any weight division and will not be penalised if they change divisions. NTID Competition Points have been assigned to:

Domestic Competitions International Competitions • National Championships • Oceania Championships • National Category E Competitions • World Cups ACT / QLD / NSW

• World Championships • National Category F Competitions VIC / SA / Arafura Games / WA

• Athlete’s points will be accumulated from:

International Competitions - results gained in Young Men/Women & results gained in Seniors National Championships - results gained in Young Men/Women & results gained in Seniors. State Opens - best 2 results in Young Men/Women & best 2 results in Seniors. 5,7 Note: Athletes must win at least one fight (not by forfeit or injury) to gain points.

• It is recommended to increase competition experience; the athlete competes in his/her age category as well as the next one up.

2 This is for the health and safety of all athletes. 3 An athlete, who is 19 turning 20 in the following year, will not be eligible for that following year. An athlete, who is 14 turning 15 in the following year, will not be eligible for that following year, as they must compete in CADETS for a full year first. (see footnote 12) 4 If unable to attend due to being injured / sick, than you must produce a medical certificate at the next State / NTID training session. This will NOT count towards a session as you still can attend 70% but may count towards funding. If away on an NTID trip than no need for any letter and this will count towards training. 5 If an athlete is injured before the Nationals, they still may be eligible provided he/she produces a medical certificate suitable from an accredited professional, via email or post, within 2 weeks after the event. Points can be then used from a third State open, but still may only use one from category F. If he/she hasn’t fought in a third State Open then they will still be eligible for selection but no extra points. 6 Please note the minimum competition requirement to count towards eligibility is two competitions from category E or one from category E and one from category F.

If injured then you will need to provide a medical certificate within a week to the State Coordinator or NDCC, if constantly injured than you jeopardies your chances. 9 The athlete’s score will coincide with whatever weight division he or she competed in at the last competition unless they state, they are going up a division.

NTID ATHLETE - SQUAD MEMBER, CAMPS, COMPS & FUNDING The new squad for the following year will be announced at the end of the year. ♦ NTID SQUAD MEMBER To remain on the squad and be eligible for its benefits athletes:

• Must attend State / NTID Training sessions with a minumun of 6.8 • Are recommended to attend the ‘Club of Excellence’ (if in your state). • Must attend AIS Camps10 • Must participate in the National Championships.11 • Must report any injuries / operations to the NDCC or state Coordinator during your membership.12 • Must participate in any international event he or she is selected for.11, 13 & 13 • Must have exemplary behaviour as an NTID representative. Any athlete who doesn’t do what is asked by the NDCC or any other NTID coaching staff, with in reason, will be given a warning and then the next time sent home, therefore jeopardising their future spot on the squad.

Some examples: Not turning up for testing or training (even being continuously late) Not using the Recovery centre correctly. Creating too much noise and disturbing athletes late at night ♦ NTID AIS CAMPS There will be two (2) AIS Camps a year. (approx April & October school holidays).

• 20 - Squad Athletes invited and funded.9 • 05 - Reserve Athletes invited and funded depending on budget availablity. • 05-10 Extra athletes may be invited or asked to attend, but may need to pay own travel expenses. This will depend on funding & space if we have international visitors. Athletes turning 15 in that year will be eligible.14

♦ SELECTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS The selection process for Cadet & Junior Competitions is a s per the JFA INC. or is usually taken from the last 2 competitions which may consist of:

FEB ACT Open MAR QLD Open APR Oceania JUN Nationals SEP NSW Open

♦ SELECTIONS FOR FUNDING FOR NTID ATHLETES FOR INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS Firstly athletes must be selected in the required division for the elected competition. From their athletes funding will be based on the NTID ASSESSMENT TABLE. How many are funded (number, sex, age) or the amount will depend on the budget.15 (See Appendix A) ♦ SELECTIONS FOR FUNDING FOR NTID ATHLETES FOR INTERNATIONAL CAMPS Depending on the location will depend on the age group that will be sent. (ie: Japan JUN & possibly CAD, Europe JUN) From their athletes funding will be based on the NTID ASSESSMENT TABLE. How many are funded (number / sex) or the amount will depend on the budget. If an athlete has changed division through out the year he/she is still capable of being selected. The result from the last time he/she fought in the old division will be counted provided he/she obtains a medal in the new division. This is only for International Camps NOT competitions.16 (See Appendix A)

10 Except if he/she has school/trade//Uni exams or prearranged international training by NDCC. You will need to provide an official letter. 11 If an athlete is injured before, he/she still may stay on the squad provided he/she produces a medical certificate suitable from an accredited professional, via email or post, within 2 weeks of the injury/nationals. Depending on the injury and the timing of the next trip away, an athlete may not be eligible for selection. 12 A medical certificate is required to explain his/her injury & to confirm recovery. If he/she attends an event within the NTID & doesn’t report the injury prior, and he/she then re-injures it again, he/she may incur any costs associated with the injury. Ie: medical, flights, accommodation. etc. NTID can’t afford athletes attending events not physically fit & be sent home or not participate. If reported & selected, it is then at the risk of the NDCC committee and not the athlete. 13 If funded 80% or more of the trips cost 14 The NTID Committee will do the selection of the 5-10 extra athletes. The basis of his/her selection will be based on where the athlete was placed after the initial NTID Squad selection; and/or the performance during the year at that time; and/or the best partner needed. If an athlete is 14 turning 15 and has proven themselves in Juniors at that time, he/she may be eligible to attend as an extra. 15 If athletes receive funding from more than NTID and it exceeds the cost of the event, the funding will come from other areas first than NTID, with the difference to remain in the NTID budget and not be allocated to athlete.

♦ NTID STATE COORDINATOR - POSITION DESCRIPTION

NTID STATE COORDINATOR Summary / Reason: The State Coordinator will work with the state and NDCC towards developing the states young Judo athletes. The selection of the State NTID Coordinator is up to the state to select a person whom they deem capable of carrying out the duties required. The idea behind the state coordinator and state sessions are, to help reinforce training habits, help assist all young athletes NOT just NTID and to help the state to combine with any state initiative such as squad training. The idea is a state focused training group to train together and will also give an extra-added reason to attend. Some athletes don’t train before or after competitions and AIS Camps. At the 1st December in the current year each state is asked to provide the NDCC with their selected State NTID Coordinator for the following year. Each state is to run selections as they see fit. Duties & Responsibilities:

• Pass on all NTID correspondence to the State, clubs, coaches and athletes within your state.

• Coordinate the 8 sessions between FEB-NOV, dates, venues and times for the NTID / State sessions.

• Provide the dates with enough notice for athletes, potentially place in the state yearly calendar.

• Make sure 3 of the 8 sessions are in a regional area if the state has an identified area of potential.

• Coordinate the running of each session, Testing and Judo Technique/Randori.

• Must be able to run one (1) test every NTID / State sessions. (approx. 30-60 min depending on numbers) Eg: Session 1 – Beep Test Session 5 – Beep Test

Session 2 – Elite Nage Komi Test Session 6 – Elite Nage Komi Test Session 3 – Beep Test Session 7 – Beep Test Session 4 – Elite Nage Komi Test Session 8 – Elite Nage Komi Test (If you choose to run both tests that’s ok, but please alternate which test is run first.)

• Must be able to run each test. NDCC will provide the Beep Test (CD) & ENKT procedure and training if

required.

• Record all the data from each test, to be submitted to the NDCC within one (1) week of running the test.

• Manage and liaise with NDCC with any complaints regarding the NTID in the state.

• Attend NTID AIS Camps when and if possible.

• The State Coordinator must not be a current athlete still competing.

EQUIPMENT

PROCEDURESThis test involves continuous running between two lines 20m apart in time to recorded beeps.The test subjects stand behind one of the lines facing the second line, and begin running when instructed by the cd or tape. The speed at the start is quite slow. The athletes continue running between the two lines, turning when signaled by the recorded beeps.(Straight turns no looping turns) This continues each minute (level). If the line is not reached in time for each beep, the subject must run to the line turn and try to catch up with the pace, if he/she fails to reach 2 lines in a row, than the last time he/she made it too a line is their score. Also, if the line is reached before the beep sounds, the athlete must wait until the beep sounds
