SYSAA Track & Field Selection Policy

               for the

ESAA Track and Field Championships

For athletes to be considered for selection to represent the County at the ESAA Track and Field Championships, they should have achieved:-

  1. The ESAA National or Entry Standard for their event at the current year's SYSAA County Championships; or,
  2. If they have not achieved the required standard at these SYSAA Championships, but have done so at a previous approved meeting during the current season, they must submit a claim form with the required information, through their area manager, for consideration.
The gaining of an ESAA National or Entry Standard DOES NOT guarantee automatic selection.
These performances will be considered by the Selection Meeting immediately after the County Championships.
Since South Yorkshire is a 'B' county, we are allowed up to 35 athletes at the ESAA National Championships. If, after the Selection Committee has met and considered athletes as described above, all 35 places have not been filled then the remaining places may be filled by athletes whom the Selection Committee warrants inclusion in the squad.
To do this, the Committee will use, in addition to today's championship results, results from:-
  1. Yorkshire County Championships (current year)
  2. Northern Athletics U15/U17 Championships (current year)
  3. Power of 10 Rankings
Athletes who are selected to represent South Yorkshire at the ESAA Championships will be informed by letter through their area management. Confirmation of their availability and all other relevant information must be returned to the County Secretary within the time stated on the invitation.
