  Program Summary

   
 


The Surrey Knights are proud to be presenting a new program for the 2007-08 Season. We are very excited about this program, as it is the culmination of many years of work.

The programs are carefully designed to maximize the swimmers potential at every age and stage of their development. Each level is based on the swimmers age, skill, and commitment levels.

The programs are based on a number of guiding principles, specifically the Surrey Knights programs are Value Based, Athlete Focused, and Process Orientated.

Group Move Ups and dynamics

There will be 2 levels of criteria for move-ups or group selections;
 

1.       Each group has specific standards to work and achieve. Once an athlete has achieved that goal then the coach, athlete and parent will discuss a move-up to the next level.
 

2.       All groups will be coach run and designed by the coaches. The coaches will have overall say to the move-ups and the direction of the group dynamics. Hard work, dedication, commitment, determination, team spirit, and proper role models will be looked at when deciding the movement of swimmers. The best teams in any sport have groups that run and flow together as a team effort. If a swimmer is showing these qualities and can make a group better then the coach can make the decision to move them up. This is on the condition that the athlete must be working towards achieving the group goals while making the group move forward.

 Please note that all swimmers moving up will receive a move up letter and a trial time set out by the coach. At the end of the trial period the coach, parent, and athlete will decide if the athlete can move up full time.
