3 Introduction NATIONAL HIGH PERFORMANCE PROGRAM (NHPP) POLICY The NHPP for Recurve Archery is a review of the program that has been in operation since 2012/13 but better reflects the Australian Government s Winning Edge Strategy and to ultimately produce Recurve archery Champions at the benchmark events including World Target Championships and Olympic Games. The purpose of the NHPP is to provide a system and support for Archery Australia s High Performance Athletes in a structured, fair and transparent manner that enables the athletes to be the best Archers that they can be. The ultimate objective of the NHPP is to win medals at World Championships, Olympic Games and World Cups by supporting identified athletes within the program via the Athlete Development Pathway. The program is based in Brisbane and managed on a day-to-day basis by Archery Australia s High Performance Manager (HPM) and National Coach who report to the Archery Australia Board via Archery Australia s High Performance Committee. The NHPP is decentralized thereby allowing athletes from all of Archery Australia s Regional Governing Bodies to participate from their home cities. It is important to note that only individuals who are current members of the Senior and/or Youth NHPP and have been for the 6 months immediately preceding final team selection are eligible for Senior Australian team selection for World Championships, World Cups and Olympic and Commonwealth Games or any other identified international event. About the NHPP Archery Australia has limited funding and resources to support High Performance athletes and therefore has designed a High Performance structure that classifies athletes into tiers. This in turn enables Archery Australia to prioritise the support and funding that it provides to the NHPP athletes in a fair and transparent manner. Funding for this program is provided by the Australian Government and spending on the program as well as its activities are monitored by the Australian Institute of Sport. The NHPP consists of four tiers that athletes are able to progress through as they further develop their skills and performances. The entrance criteria for each of these tiers has been designed to align with the Australian Governments Winning Edge Strategy meaning that athletes are eligible to receive more support as they progress through the tiers. The table below (Table 1) provides a brief summary of each Tier whilst Appendix A provides full details of each Tier including the number of positions available and the allocation of support and resources that athletes in each Tier are eligible to receive. World Class Tier 1 International Tier 2 National Tier 3 Development Tier 4 Table 1 Athletes who in the opinion of the HPC have demonstrated their ability to challenge or have actually achieved a recent podium position in top International Competition. Athletes who in the opinion of the HPC are competitive in international competition and have the potential to progress to World Class within the next two years. Athletes who in the opinion of the HPC are competitive at the National Level and are ready for international exposure under direction of the High Performance Unit. Athletes who in the opinion of the HPC are considered to be emerging and have the potential to progress through the tiers in the coming years due to demonstrated commitment. Eligibility for the NHPP To be eligible for the NHPP an athlete must meet all of the criteria detailed below and submit a full and complete National High Performance Program (NHPP) Page 3

4 application to Archery Australia. For full details of the application process including dates applications are accepted and the forms that must be completed please refer to Appendix C. To be eligible for the NHPP athletes must: Comply with World Archery and IOC eligibility requirements Be an Australian citizen Be a current financial affiliate of AA Meet the Performance Requirements (see Appendix B) Agree to the Archery Australia Team Agreement and Code of Conduct and associated documents Be in Good Standing with Archery Australia Selection & Review of Membership Archery Australia s High Performance Committee (HPC) will review the membership of the NHPP on a quarterly basis. At this time they will (a) review applications to join the NHPP and (b) review the performances and compliance of existing NHPP athletes. Once this process is complete all athletes will receive formal correspondence confirming the outcome of their application and/or their current status in the NHPP. Please refer to Appendix C for further details on applying for the NHPP and to Appendix I for full details about the quarterly review of each NHPP athlete s performance and compliance. Movement between Tiers Archery Australia s HPC will review the status of each athlete in the NHPP on a quarterly basis. A major part of this review will be determining each athletes Tier allocation for the following quarter. After the HPC has confirmed (a) the athletes compliance with the NHPP over the previous three months and (b) the athletes eligibility to remain a member of the NHPP the athlete will be allocated to a Tier based on their performances over the previous three months. Refer to Appendix B for Performance Requirements. Where there are a limited number of positions available in a Tier and more athletes eligible for the Tier than there are positions, the HPC will use official Archery Australia rankings to determine which athletes will be allocated to the positions available in that Tier. Should there be a tie between two athletes in the rankings the HPC will review the previous month s rankings and so on until they can split the two tied athletes. Athletes who do not achieve the performance requirements for their Tier but have been in full compliance with the NHPP will be relegated down one Tier level irrespective of their scores. For the avoidance of doubt an athlete can only move down one tier each quarter. Athletes who do not achieve Tier 4 Performances for two consecutive quarters will be removed from the NHPP. These athletes can re-apply to enter the NHPP in the future when they meet all the requirements as detailed in the NHPP Policy. Should an athlete not meet the performance and/or compliance requirements due to injury/illness the process detailed in Appendix F will be applied. Should a former High Performance athlete who has recently returned to the sport after an extended absence not meet the performance requirements the process detailed in Appendix G will be applied. Should an athlete not meet performance and/or compliance requirements for any reason other than injury and returning to the sport after an extended absence and wish to apply for special consideration they must do so in writing to the HPM by no later than the last day of the quarter for which they are not compliant or have not met the performance requirements. This request should provide details as to why the athlete believes they should be given special consideration. This request will be taken into consideration by the HPC when it undertakes its quarterly review of the athlete s membership in the NHPP. The HPC will form an opinion as to the appropriate tier the athlete should be allocated having regard to the athlete nominated circumstances, and any other matter considered relevant by the National High Performance Program (NHPP) Page 4

5 HPC. The HPC has an unfettered discretion to allocate an athlete to any tier having formed an opinion to do so. For the avoidance of doubt, tier positions will be allocated to athletes in the following order: 1. Injured / extended absence / special consideration athletes who HPC approve will be allocated to a Tier 2. Athletes who have not met the Performance Requirements of their current Tier will be relegated down one Tier level 3. Remaining athletes will be allocated based on their performances over the last three months Requirements and Expectations of athletes in the NHPP The NHPP will only invest in athletes with demonstrated outstanding potential and/or recent international performances. The expectation is that all NHPP athletes will always demonstrate professionalism, a strong commitment to success and continual/constant improvement. This will be demonstrated by: Strong competition history History of progression Developing and refining the required technical skills Developing and refining physical resilience Developing and refining a strong mental capacity and resilience Developing and refining the required physical attributes Athletes who choose to accept a position in the NHPP will be required to comply with all reasonable requests and instructions that are given to them by any staff member of the High Performance Unit including Archery Australia appointed service providers. As a minimum all athletes in the NHPP are expected to: Demonstrate ethical behavior and compliance with all Archery Australia codes and policies Only undertake coaching that has been approved by the NHPP Develop in conjunction with the National Coach (and their Personal Coach, where applicable) a twelve month personal training plan/program (PTP) this should include all tournaments that are to be attended, planned holidays, unavailability, work commitments Adhere to their personal twelve month training plan Develop in conjunction with the National Coach (and their Personal Coach where applicable) a detailed personal monthly training program that specifies each training session that is to be completed Submit a training report following each completed training session Complete and comply with all activities, exercises and instructions given by support service providers Report all injuries to Archery Australia s High Performance Unit immediately and within one week of incurring the injury submit medical documentation as detailed in Appendix F Notify and liaise with the National Coach if for any reason a training session cannot be undertaken/completed Engage with Archery Australia via the NHPP Unit and its service providers in a timely and professional manner Be available to participate in all mandatory NHPP activities Meet the performance requirements each quarter Commit to spending as much time as possible training face-to-face with the National Coach Strong commitment to the sport and Archery Australia Co-operate and work effectively as a team member Funding Support Archery Australia has limited resources and funds available for the NHPP; as such, investment of these recourses will National High Performance Program (NHPP) Page 5

6 only be given to those athletes who show a strong commitment to the NHPP and their own personal success and are likely to meet the goals of the NHPP and Archery Australia. The amount of performance funding shall be determined quarterly by the HPC based on athlete numbers and available funding. Due to limited resources it is not possible for Archery Australia to provide the same level of support to all athletes in the NHPP and priority will be given to those athletes in the higher Tiers in line with the Australian Governments Winning Edge Strategy. There are various types of funding that may be provided to eligible athletes. The different types of funding are detailed including a summary of eligibility and details of how to apply for the funding in Appendix E. As funding is limited and athletes can move between Tiers it should be noted that there may be a situation when an athlete s application for funding may be denied even though they are eligible, as it will depend on available resources and priorities. All funding applications will be assessed by the HPC and applicants will be advised in writing of the outcome. Athletes who disagree with the outcome may appeal the decision as detailed in Appendix D. Non-compliance with the NHPP Athletes who fail to comply with the NHPP expectations and requirements will receive formal notification of their noncompliance. Continual failure to comply with the requirements and expectations of the NHPP will likely result in tier reallocation or expulsion from the NHPP. Should an athlete accrue three notifications of non-compliance within any six month period the matter will be elevated to Archery Australia s HPC who will review the various infringements and use their discretion in determining whether the athlete will be relegated to a lower Tier or removed from the program. Should an athlete feel that there are exceptional circumstances for their non-compliance with the NHPP and wish for this to be taken into consideration a written application must be received by Archery Australia s High Performance Manager within 7 working days of the athlete receiving notification of their third offence. Should the athlete wish to appeal the decision of the HPC they may do so by following the Appeal Process detailed in Appendix D. Appeal Process If an athlete does not agree with Archery Australia s High Performance Committee s decision regarding their (a) application to join the NHPP; (b) the quarterly review of their status in the NHPP; and/or (c) any decision regarding a funding/support application that they have submitted, they may formally appeal the decision. Refer to Appendix D for full details of the Appeal Process. There shall be no right to a further review or appeal following the completion of the appeal process as detailed in Appendix D. Amendments to the NHPP Policy Archery Australia s High Performance Committee will formally review this policy annually although the Committee reserves the right to amend this document and conditions at anytime. Amended Criteria will always be issued to all current NHPP members and the Archery Australia website will always contain the current version of the NHPP Policy document.

The HPPTS for Recurve is based on FITA 70/720 rounds. For 144 arrow Rounds, these scores will be converted to 720 scores using the official Archery Australia Rating Tables. The Archery Australia Rating Tables can be found on the Archery Australia website at An athlete who meets all of the eligibility requirements for membership to the NHPP will be allocated into the highest Tier possible based on their best three HPPTS shot over the previous three months and their AA ranking. Please refer to page 4 and 5 of the NHPP Policy document for further details about Tier allocation. Matchplay Bonus Points (MBP) OPEN DIVISION Matchplay Bonus Points Set Score Male Recurve 28 Female Recurve 27 As detailed above one of the HPPTS can be replaced each quarter when an athlete shoots a minimum of 20 MBP. National High Performance Program (NHPP) Page 8

9 MBPs are achieved when an athlete shoots a set (end) score equal to or greater than the score indicated during a Matchplay competition. The Matchplay competition can be a tournament (domestic or international) or approved Archery Australia QRE Matchplay. All MBP must be shot and accumulated within a three month period commencing 1 January, 1 April, 1 July or 1 October. The athlete will receive one bonus point for each set/end MBP score shot which results in winning the match. A MBP of 0.5 a point for each set/end MBP score shot in a losing match. The purpose of allowing athletes to replace one of their HPPTS with MBP is to encourage NHPP athletes to regularly shoot Matchplay events and shoot scores that will generally allow them to win a set/end and ultimately matches in competition. The MBP scores have been based on statistical information as to the scores that are required to win matches, in particular from 1/8 rounds to medal matches in international competition. The High Performance Committee reserves the right to regularly review and amend HPTTS or MBP at any time to ensure an environment of constant improvement.

National High Performance Program (NHPP) Page 12

13 Appendix E Funding Support Archery Australia provides four different types of funding support to eligible members of the NHPP. Details of each, including eligibility and the application process are detailed below: Direct Support Archery Australia has limited funds available in the form of Direct Support. Only Tier 1 athletes are eligible for Direct Support. Athletes who wish to receive Direct Support must apply by completing the Direct Funding Support Application form. As a part of this application process athletes will be required to detail how the funding will be spent and how this will directly assist their Archery. All applications for Direct Support should be submitted to Archery Australia s High Performance Manager and each application will be reviewed by the HPC. The HPC will at its sole discretion determine the outcome of each application and the conditions/guidelines that will surround the funding being provided. Approved Archery Activities Archery Australia has limited funds available to assist NHPP athletes with the cost of approved archery activities. As funding is limited the level of support differs between Tiers. Athletes who wish to access this funding must seek approval of the expense (archery activity) by completing the NHPP expense authorization form and submitting it to Archery Australia s HPM. Archery Australia will be under no obligation to reimburse any NHPP athlete for any archery activity where the athlete has not sought pre-approval of the expense (in addition to the activity). Tier Percentage of Approved Archery Activities Funded 1 100% 2 50% 3 25% 4 Not applicable Archery Australia will reimburse athletes for pre-approved expenses within one month of receiving all of the required documentation and paperwork including receipts and bank details. As this funding is limited it should be noted that there may be situations where the National Coach will approve an athlete to attend/participate in an activity however, it will be at the athlete s own expense - there will be no funding available to assist the athlete to participate in that activity. Approval by the National coach to undertake an archery activity does not automatically mean that an athlete will receive funding support for that activity. For the avoidance of doubt regarding the funding of an athlete selected for an Australian team or AA activity. The funding the athlete will receive towards that team or activity will be agreed at the time the team is selected or activity confirmed and will be based on the Tier the athlete is in at that time. Should an athlete move to a different Tier between the time the team or activity is confirmed and the actual date of the activity the funding that they will receive for that activity will not change from the amount that was approved at the time the team was selected or activity confirmed. Medical / Rehabilitation Support Archery Australia has limited funds available to assist Tier 1 athletes who require Medical / Rehabilitation support for injuries that impact directly on the ability of the athlete to shoot. This funding is capped at $2000 per athlete and will only be provided to athletes who have outstanding medical expenses after Medicare and Private Health Insurance benefits. Athletes wishing to apply for this support must complete the Medical Support form and provide all the required information. The HPC will at their discretion review the application and determine what, if any support will be made available to the athlete. Archery Equipment National High Performance Program (NHPP) Page 13

14 Archery Australia via its equipment sponsor is able to provide limited equipment support to athletes in all Tiers of the NHPP. Athletes wishing to receive equipment support are required to complete and submit the Equipment Request Form and the HPC will review the application and determine the outcome. Where resources are limited priority will be given to those in higher Tiers. Dependent on what support is being sought the equipment will either be gifted or loaned to the athlete by Archery Australia. Athletes who do not take appropriate care of their equipment will not be continually issued with more. National High Performance Program (NHPP) Page 14

15 Appendix F Injured Athletes Injured Athletes in the NHPP Athletes who are members of the NHPP and get injured/ill are required to notify the National Coach immediately. They are also required to provide the following information as soon as practical but no later than 1 week after the injury/illness has first presented: Diagnosis and prognosis of injury/illness AA expect a letter from treating Doctor Details of individual rehabilitation program Contact details of the treating Doctor and permission to contact the Doctor to discuss athletes injury/illness Long term injury/illness in the NHPP Athletes who are not able to meet the performance requirements for a quarter due to their injury/illness or who are not able to shoot/obtain their usual performance standards due to an extended period of injury/illness can apply to the HPC for special consideration. To do this an athlete must supply the following information for consideration by the HPC: Diagnosis and prognosis of injury/illness AA expect a letter from treating Doctor Details of individual rehabilitation program Contact details of the treating Doctor and permission to contact the Doctor to discuss athletes injury/illness The HPC when reviewing the application will review the medical information and ensure that the athlete has met all of the other NHPP eligibility and compliance requirements prior to and during their injury/illness. If the HPC determines that all is in order the athlete s position in the NHPP will be placed on hold. Therefore the Athlete will remain in the same Tier and be eligible to receive the same level of support that they were in the previous quarter. The maximum period of time that an athlete s position in the Tier system can be frozen is 6 months. After 6 months if the Athlete is still injured/ill upon receipt of updated medical details the athlete will remain in the NHPP but will be placed in Tier 4 for a maximum period of an additional nine months. If the athlete is still unable to meet the NHPP performance requirements (Appendix B) after this nine months they will no longer be eligible to remain a member of the program. At such time that the athlete is able to meet the performance requirements they will be encouraged to re-apply for the NHPP. National High Performance Program (NHPP) Page 15

16 Appendix G Returning from Retirement or extended leave of absence The HPC at its discretion can include former high performance athletes in its program who are returning to Archery after an extended break/retirement even though they have not met the required performance standards. These athletes will be placed in Tier 4 and must be able to prove that they were able to meet the required performance standards (Appendix B) prior to their retirement/absence from the sport. An athlete will only be admitted under this method to the NHPP for a maximum of six months. It is expected that within six months the athletes performance will improve to a level where they are able to meet the required performance standards. Failure to meet the required performance standards within 6 months will see the athlete removed from the NHPP until such time that they are able to meet the Performance Requirements as detailed in Appendix B of this document. National High Performance Program (NHPP) Page 16

17 Appendix H Personal Coaches The NHPP recognises that some athletes have personal coaches and in those situations the intent of the NHPP is to work together with the athlete s personal coach to assist the athlete to be the best that they can be. However, the NHPP will only recognize personal coaches who are current members of AA and hold current AA Coaching accreditation. As detailed in this document in the section titled Requirements & Expectations of Athletes in the NHPP all athletes in the NHPP must have the following in place: Long-term 12 month plan Daily training program Training diary Athletes with personal Coaches have two choices: 1. The above can be developed by the National Coach in consultation with the athlete and their personal coach. The Personal coach then takes day-to-day responsibility for ensuring that the athlete complies with their training program as detailed by the National Coach; OR 2. The athlete and their Personal Coach can take primary responsibility for developing and implementing all of the above however, they must submit all of these documents in advance to the National Coach for approval and sign-off. The National Coach will also require that the Personal Coach communicate with them at least once a month to discuss the progress of the athlete It is the responsibility of athlete s with personal coaches to advise the HPM of the name and contact details of their personal coach and also to confirm what decision they have made regarding who will take primary responsibility for developing and designing the athletes training program. This can be done by completing the NHPP Personal Coach Form. When NHPP athletes attend official NHPP activities the Head Coach will be clearly defined and personal coaches, if invited to attend will be expected to adhere to any and all instructions issued by the Head Coach and to respect and support the Head Coach. Failure to do so will likely result in the Personal Coach being asked to leave and not invited back to any future official NHPP activities. For the avoidance of doubt when NHPP athletes are selected for an Australian Team (official NHPP activity) Personal Coaches will not be allowed to attend the event in any coaching capacity. They are welcome to attend as a spectator however the AA appointed Team Coach(es) will be solely responsible for any and all coaching during the event. This includes all trainings as well as the competition. National High Performance Program (NHPP) Page 17

18 Appendix I Quarterly Review of Membership This NHPP Quarterly Review Checklist will be used each quarter by the HPC to review the status of each athlete in the NHPP and what their Tier allocation shall be for the following quarter.
