It has come to my attention that there has been disagreements over the selection process and the outcome of the trials. This entry will serve to clarify any queries that you may have over the selection.
Below are the averages for the POL-ITE games 2006 and 2007 Singles Event. Please take note of the averages for the top 8 positions for both boys and girls.
2007 - Boys
2007 - Girls
2006 - Boys
2006 - Girls
I would like to reiterate that the objective of the Team Temasek Bowling Team is to win the upcoming POL-ITE championships. Therefore as much as we can, we would need to select bowlers whose personal averages range from the above displayed tournament field averages in order to allow us to build and nurture a team to compete as one of the top teams in the championships.
I believe our coach has reinforced the aim of the program to all who attended the pre-selection forum - that the training program is a platform for competition preparation, not skills development.
However, a skills development training squad is currently under consideration by the committee and coaches to help those of you who did not manage to make the competition squad develop your skills further.
Here is some feedback provided by our coach, Uncle Lawrence.
"I wish to reiterate that this program is a platform for competitive preparation and not skill development training...I have said this and repeated several times at the presentation forum to all who were present
However I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate those that have been invited to join the training squad and also thank all those who have come for the trials.
If for any reason anyone who had expected to be invited and were not, being upset and disappointed are some very natural reactions but the challenge that now comes to you is 'what are you going to do about it?'. If the sport of tenpin bowling is your true passion, than may I suggest you start improving your game and bring it to the next level. There will be another selection trial opportunity next year which gives anyone a good lead time to prepare themselves."
I would like to take this opportunity to encourage those who did not make the team this year to train hard and improve yourselves. Feel free to approach any of the existing bowlers should you want any advice or help. The trials have allowed us to achieve a better understanding of your game and once the development squad is underway, it will give you guys a platform to improve.
So, I hope to see you guys come back next year as better and stronger bowlers. Train hard and never give up! All the best.
Cheers,
