2. DISCRETIONARY SELECTION (if applicable)
2.1. Provide rationale for utilizing discretionary selection (if any):
The sport of volleyball is not a measured or timed event. In the selection of athletes who will compete together as a team, it is difficult to make selection decisions based solely upon objective criteria. It is the belief of USA Volleyball and the USA Women’s and Men’s Team coaching staffs that considering the mix of Selection Criteria set forth
4
below, which includes subjective components as well as objective statistical measures in evaluation of performance ability, will result in selection of the best players who will work together as the most effective team and contribute to team success.
2.2. List the discretionary criteria and explain how they will be used (if any):
In evaluating and selecting athletes the following criteria will be considered:
1. Preference will be given to those athletes with National Team and National Training Team experience.
2. Statistical, videotape, written and observational evaluations of athletes based on the following, in no particular order of priority:
a. Attack Efficiency b. Blocking Efficiency c. Digging Efficiency d. Setting Efficiency (accuracy and selection) e. Serving Efficiency f. Passing Efficiency
The above listed criteria shall carry different importance depending upon the position the athlete is playing [e.g., Setter; Outside Attacker; Opposite Attacker; Defensive Specialist (Libero); Serving Specialist; Blocking Specialist].
Other considerations shall include the following in no particular order of priority:
i. Teamwork: The willingness to accept a role that leads to team success. ii. Positive Attitude: Exhibiting enthusiasm and support of teammates. iii. Versatility: Exhibiting a balance between offensive and defensive skills as
well as the ability to play multiple positions and fulfill multiple roles. iv. ResilienceMaturity: Exhibiting an ability to adjust to various situations and
dealing with adversity. Adjusting to situations that are not going well and reacting appropriately.
v. Coach Direction: Exhibiting the ability to process and incorporate input from the coaching staff.
2.3. Provide the name of the committee that will be responsible for making discretionary selections, along with a complete list of the members’ titles currently serving on the committee:
The USA Women’s and Men’s coaching staffs, and ultimately the respective Head Coaches, are responsible for making all athlete recommendations for the respective Teams to the Selection Review Committee using the selection criteria identified in Section 2.
5
USAV’s Selection Review Committee will review the coach’s recommendations and submit nominations for the Olympic Games Teams to the USOPC for final approval.
The Selection Review Committee consists of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief of SportSecretary General and the AAC Representative.
2.3.1. Specify the process that will be used to identify and handle any potential conflicts of interest involving a member of the committee.
Any member of the selection committee that has a possible conflict of interest must disclose it. If such conflict exists, the selection committee member must recuse him/herself from committee discussions and voting. Further, the committee member should not otherwise influence other members of the committee in the selection process. However, a committee member who recused him/herself, but who has relevant and necessary information with respect to athlete performance, for example a national team coach or high performance director, may, if requested by the selection committee, provide such information to the committee so long as such information is provided in a fair and unbiased manner and the committee member who declared the conflict of interest does not vote toward the final decision.
3. REMOVAL OF ATHLETES
3.1. Prior to entry by name to the Local Organizing Committee by the USOPC, USA Volleyball has jurisdiction over potential nominees.
