ATHLETE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (AAP)

Purpose

To provide financial assistance to top performing Saskatchewan divers under the Excellence budget. Junior divers will have demonstrated national calibre performances by attaining the National point standard on 1 or more boards at the Junior Development or Junior Elite National Championships. Senior divers will have demonstrated national calibre performances attaining the National point standard on 1 or more boards at either the Winter or Summer Senior National Championships.

Procedure


The Executive Director and High Performance Coaches of Dive Sask will analyze the performance points of all Saskatchewan competitive athletes to determine which athletes qualify to receive Athlete Assistance and the amount they are eligible to receive. Dive Sask will circulate applications and eligibility requirements to all such identified athletes who are currently members in good standing of their clubs and Dive Sask. Applications not received by the deadline or incomplete applications will not be considered. Grants will be payable in two instalments- January and April of each year. Dive Sask will publicize the grant recipients as soon as they are approved. Nationally carded athletes are eligible to apply for funding. Athletes training/attending university out of province are eligible to apply. Athletes must have and maintain a training and competition schedule. Athletes must compete for Saskatchewan in National competitions for which they are selected. Athletes must disclose financial assistance from other sources. Athletes receiving assistance must submit all receipts for diving related expenditures. Allowable expenditures will be: club registration fees, travel expenses including transportation, meals and accommodation, uniforms and equipment, lost wages, training expenses, tuition fees.

Administration


The coach/club of an eligible diver will submit the Event Results Summary to the Dive Sask office within two weeks of the National Championships. The Executive Director of Dive Sask will calculate the carding standards of the junior divers and the ranking of the senior participants after the Summer Senior Nationals. Dive Sask will present a list/ranking of athlete assistance recipients at the Annual Awards Banquet or on the Dive Sask website.

Given that there is a finite amount of funds in the AAP program (which may change from year to year), the grants will be awarded based on a points system.
The Executive Director and High Performance coaches will review all point calculations and will approve AAP levels and funding amounts.
