Present Situation:

Our club was successfully guided through its first year of operation by two or three of its volunteers.  It is hard to consistently attract sufficient people to sit on boards to make required club decisions and therefore it is basically impossible to remain compliant with OSA Club Membership Rules.

 

The club operated a league comprised of three divisions totaling twenty-one (21) teams, including three guest youth select squads that would otherwise have had no competition.  The three divisions were comprised of 5 ea teams in Premier Division – Ladies, 6 ea teams in Premier Division – Men and 10 ea teams in Second Division - Men.

 

Specific Decision Requested:

The NDASC requests to be exempt from all requirements of OSA Published Rules, Section 4 – Policy 2.1, as allowed under Policy 2.4g.

 

The club would instead operate under a published set of ‘Rules and Regulations’ approved by the SNE Executive Committee and OSA.  These ‘Rules and Regulations’ will be submitted annually to the SNE Executive Committee for review to ensure there are no conflicts with OSA Published Rules.

 

Budget Requirements (Change if any): This year:

$0.00

Availability of Funds if not included in this year's budget:

N/A

 

 

Advantages:

To simplify our Club operations while remaining within OSA Published Rules.

Possible Objections:

None expected as there are no set rules for appointment or election of officers

Alternatives:

Club would be in constant non-compliance as available personnel is very limited which could possibly force withdrawal or expulsion from SNE

Attachments:

Current ‘Rules and Regulations’ of Club
