Selection process

Meeting the selection criteria and qualifying standards does not guarantee selection in the team.

The selection panel will assess:

• School Sport SA Diving state championship
• Diving SA competition
• National age competition (2026 Australian Age Championships)
• The individuals level of diving

All students wishing to be considered for selection must nominate online. Selection in a School Sport SA state team is final. Athletes must nominate by the due dates listed. Results do not need to be submitted when nominating.

Students will be advised of their selection or non-selection by Monday 11 May 2026.

Parental permission must be obtained to be selected to attend the championship.

School endorsement

Selection in a School Sport SA state team requires endorsement from the student’s school principal before confirming their place in the team. Therefore, parents are advised not to make any arrangements that incur costs until the school has confirmed that the student fulfils all requirements.

Training and championship expectations

All selected team members will be required to attend all team trainings and a team photo shoot.

Country team members travelling more than 2 hours can negotiate their commitment.

The selected student agrees to attend the competition for the full duration including the opening and closing ceremonies and the educational experience.

Accommodation, flights, and daily transport

Parents/caregivers who can accompany their child must book and manage accommodation, flights and daily transport for the entire championship.

Should this not be possible then the family will need to negotiate with School Sport SA to arrange appropriate flights, accommodation, meals and daily transport for their child which will be an additional cost. Negotiations must begin within 1 week of the team being announced.

Championship costs

The anticipated cost to School Sport SA is approximately $700 which includes levies to participate at the championship and any training costs. Walkout and competition uniforms will be approximately $450 depending on the number of items ordered. This will be a separate online ordering process where payment is made directly to the supplier.
