This document has been produced to clarify the team selection process for Nationals. This document has been determined with ACTBA’s Mission and Vision Statements in mind and was last reviewed and updated on 3 March 2025. 

Mission: The ACT Broomball Association strives to promote the development of athletes, coaches and officials, incorporating social, cultural, economic, health and community benefits through the sport of Broomball.

Vision: The ACT Broomball Association represents an amateur recreational sport that will provide leadership by promoting and developing Broomball programs and services designed to meet the needs of the Broomball community. We will place our athletes at the heart of the organisation by establishing a unique competitive environment, thereby experiencing respect, fun, fitness and life-long social relationships.

ACTBA requires our Selectors, Coaches and the Committee themselves to adhere to the following guidelines as far as practicable:

• The Selection Panel will be appointed by the ACTBA Committee and will stand for 2 years
• Panels will be made up of 3 selectors 
• In an instance where the Committee cannot split their vote to 3 selectors, the Committee can choose to allow up to a max of 5 selectors OR the President can cast a deciding vote
• All players who play in the ACT local competition are required to submit their nomination for ACT before any other state. 
• The target number of players for ACT representative teams is 11 players (selected)
• Players will submit their preferred position when nominating
• Where the number of player nominations exceeds 11 players for a particular division, selectors will have the discretion to go over the target 11 players or select players to play in another division (ie, if there are more Elite than needed, they can be selected for Intermediate)
• Selections are to be based on the Selectors judgment and perception of the player’s abilities, potential, development, attitude, commitment and the need for team balance
• Player nominations will be presented to the Committee by the Selectors
• In the case of a selected player withdrawing from a tournament, either prior to, or during the tournament, the selectors will select an appropriate replacement from other nominees (in line with Broomball Australia policy and guidelines)
• Game time, for each player selected, will be at the discretion of the Coach/Captain/Assistants
• Players may request permission from the ACTBA Committee to participate in the tournament for another state
• Coaches will be selected by the Selectors, an EOI will be sent out to all members for the positions
• Captains (1 Captain and 2 Assistants) will be chosen by the Selectors. The Selectors are able to choose captains via other means, such as player vote, if they wish
• The ACTBA Committee will review this policy annually prior to each nationals tournament.
• The president of ACTBA will distribute this document to all members for viewing.

ACTBA requires the nominating Players to adhere to the following guidelines as far as practicable:

• To be eligible for selection for ACT squads, players need to be financial with team fees.
• ACTBA Captains are responsible for ensuring team competition fees are paid and players are registered through the online ACTBA registration form. Captains are also responsible for communicating with the Treasurer and VP Admin about these matters.

  • The ACTBA President must respond within 1 working week.
