Play all audios:


In most cases, and if taken together, the factors listed provide a means for a comprehensive assessment as to whether a change in environment should be encouraged. If the change impacts most


of the factors favourably then it is likely to be beneficial for the player. The factors listed are not exclusive and there may be other reasons which support or oppose a decision about a


temporary or permanent change to a player’s competition and/or training environment. The relative weighting of factors will differ for each player. The assessment purposely doesn’t have a


scoring matrix; however, players (parents) are encouraged to RAG rate (Red = negative, Amber= neutral, Green= positive) each factor and identify any which need to be weighted more heavily in


their specific case. Any decision will require judgment and consideration of the overarching question ‘Is this in the best interests of this player at this time?’
