WINTER DEVELOPMENT SQUAD

The Winter Development Squad is run throughout the off season for athletes up to Under 15.  Membership of the squad is by invitation and selections are made from the results of the State Championships and other observations of the coaches who are responsible for delivery of the program at carnivals throughout the season.  There is also the opportunity for clubs to recommend an individual athlete to the Head Coach of the WDS for inclusion in the squad.

The WDS provides athletes with additional coaching and skill training opportunities throughout the winter.  The program includes cross training, pool training and competition training and is directed to assist junior athletes in improving their skills and abilities.

There are no formal criteria for inclusion in the squad but numbers are limited to the capabilities of coach and venue staffing and duty of care coach / athlete ratio considerations. There is also a small financial levy to assist with the costs of delivering the program.

* Please note: Participants who made a final at the State Championships will need to also be endorsed in writing by their club to participate in the program. All endorsement should be sent to Kate Comer by email kate.comer@lifesavingvictoria.com.au or fax 03 9681 8211.
