Training
Fees
Selected JTS athlete : $100 per month
JTS training athlete : $150 per month
Continuous
Assessment There
will be continuous assessment and review based
on the following:
1.
Attendance
Minimum of 70% attendance. Failing which, the
Coach has the discretion to recommend the removal
of the athlete from the scheme, irrespective of
his/her other attributes. Athletes are expected
to seek formal excuse for absence from the coaches.
2.
Discipline
If one breach the disciplinary code such as insubordination,
disrespect to coaches and trainers or failing
to adhere to instructions and regulations, etc,
the Coach can recommend to the JTS Disciplinary
committee (Advisor - Dr Stephen Lee, Members
- Wei Dong, Pamela Kong) for reprimand, fine,
suspension or removal from the squad. We do not
wait for an assessment to check this delinquency.
Athletes who receive three formal warnings of
indiscipline (including reprimand, fine and suspension)
from the JTS Disciplinary committee will automatically
be removed from the squad.
3. Performance
Performance is a very important benchmark in the
assessment of an athlete continuity. If the athlete
consistently could not make any progress (with respect
to Official Results from Time Trial/s and/or Competition/s)
after coming to the team, even with full attendance
and good discipline, the JTS Training committee
should after a reasonable time remove him/her from
the squad. The Coach should be the assessor and
the JTS Training committee should only deliberate
his findings in relation to his/her age, growth
potential, attendance, attitude and discipline.
However, the overriding factor should be growth
potential and his/her current performance in relation
to local, regional and international peers.
