Pennants at Sorrento Bowling Club

Pennant Bowls is the largest graded inter-club competition held in Western Australia, with over 12,000 participants across the State. Generally held in the warmer months, from October to April, the first Pennant Bowls competition in WA was held in 1899. Club members play in a team uniform like One Day or 20/20 cricket. The highest grade in the metropolitan area is the Premier Division, with further grades from 1st to 6th division, depending on the competition.

Sorrento is one of the largest and most vibrant Pennant Clubs, fielding teams ranging from Premier Division through to 6th Divisions in both the women’s competition (Tuesdays and Saturdays) and men’s competition (Thursdays and Saturdays).

Selection Guidelines

SELECTION POLICY

Goal

We will aim to select the best combination of teams within each division on club pennant days to bring about on-green success for the Sorrento Bowling Club.

Policy

Our aim is to select players on merit (in positions according to their ability and performance). Other factors that will be taken into account, will be a player`s:

Team spirit and positive attitude towards the Club`s success.

Willingness to play in any position and division.

Commitment to playing the whole season.

To achieve our goal the selection process will be fair and free from bias and discrimination. Selectors will adhere to the following guiding principles in decision-making:

Selectors will seek feedback from skippers, coaches, managers and players.

When major changes are made within divisions, the player/s involved will be notified of the reasons.

Players may request to meet the selectors to discuss selection issues.

Players have 48 hours to appeal the selectors` decision. The appeal should be in writing and directed to the respective Captain who will act as mediator between the player and selectors, for negotiation of a speedy resolution. Should the matter remain unresolved, the player may request it be referred to the VP Sport and Participation whose decision will be final.

Individual player`s aspirations will be respected and considered, but in the context of what is best for the Club`s success.

Support and promote practice regimes.

Compatibility and player enjoyment within teams will be an important consideration.

Players who become unavailable for selection will not automatically be reinstated to the same rink/division.

Any reports of bad behaviour during pennants (both on and off the green) that diminish the good reputation of the Sorrento Bowling Club will put ongoing selection at risk.

Immediately BEFORE and AFTER GAMES, AT THE PENNANT BOARD or IN THE BAR is NOT the RIGHT TIME or PLACE for rational, fair and confidential discussion between players and selectors to resolve issues.

Representing Sorrento Bowling Club is a privilege. We respect our team mates and our opponents and we value our good reputation in the bowling community.
