Selection Framework

Selection Criteria for SCLGA Junior Girls Squad & County Matches

The areas outlined below are the framework we use for selection:

• Scoring Average – In particular scoring away from Home Course
• Junior Opens and Spring Meeting, Girls County Championships and Autumn Meeting
• SCLGA County Championships
• Participation in Coaching including feedback/use of CoachNow
• General attitude on and off the course

Scoring Average
We’re looking for improvement in scoring average particularly away from home course. Is the player improving, struggling or playing consistently? Scoring AWAY from home is the best test of their skill. We love to see juniors who can perform under pressure away from home. We are more unlikely to select players who can only perform on their own course.

Junior Opens and Spring Meeting, Girls County Championships and Autumn Meeting

We would expect Squad and Academy members to play in lots of Junior Opens (OOM) and the three main events we organise for Sussex girls.

SCLGA County Championships

As well as testing your skills away from home the annual County Champsionship played over several days with 16 HCP or below females from Sussex is a great test. We highly recommend any lower HCP girl to enter.

Participation in Coaching including feedback/use of CoachNow

We have an expectation that Squad and Academy girls should actively engage with our coaching and provide ‘self assessment’ around four main areas routinely recording statistics using the CoachNow app. They are GIR, 3 putts, scrambling and chipping to within 6ft.

General attitude on and off the course

Sussex is proud to have friendly, fun and competitive environment with players who show respect and team spirit. A happy team is MUCH more likely to succeed.
