AK/ 3/6/84 8- BRITISH COLUMBIA SOCCER ASSOCIATION CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
It is my privilege, on behalf of the B.C.Soccer Association Board of Directors and staff, to welcome the delegates and guests in attendance at our annual general meeting today. Time marches on, relentlessly and ofttimes too swiftly. It is hard for me to realize this will be my tenth annual report since returning to the B.C.Soccer Association where I had previously served as secretary-treasurer and chairman over a 16-year period. I would be remiss if I didn't express my appreciation for the assistance and cooperation I have received from my colleagues on the board; from members of affiliated leagues and associations; from members of referees' associations; from members of the various sub-committees and other interested soccer people with whom I have been in contact.
An annual general meeting is the time and place when we gather together to receive and discuss reports pertaining to the past year's activities. However, an annual general meeting to have any real meaning and worthwhile purpose, must also give thought to the future development of the sport. British Columbia soccer has a unique character of its own when compared to the other provinces in Canada, in that most of us are engaged in some form of outside on-the-field soccer activity for the full twelve months of the year. Many of us here today are required to spend a great deal of time discharging the responsibilities our respective positions in soccer demand to assure the various programs for which we are individually and directly responsible operate efficiently.
Certain events of interest related to professional soccer have taken place since last year's annual general meeting. It is now a matter of record that while the Vancouver Whitecaps and the North American Soccer League were operating this time last year, and at the same time struggling to survive financially, the Whitecaps and the league are now, for all intents and purposes, defunct and a part of history.
Several meetings aimed at reviving professional soccer in the city of Vancouver and western Canada took place earlier this year. Meetings concerning the possibility of forming a western alliance composed of teams from Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary and Seattle, and commencing play in 1985 was seriously considered at one time. However, a subsequent réévaluation of the situation indicated 1986 would be a more realistic target. The formation of a Canadian Professional League is one of the Canadian Soccer Association's top priorities and to this end surveys are presently underway across the country to determine whether a start can be made in 1986. For many years soccer people in British Columbia looked forward to the day when professional soccer would be a part of the local sport scene and many of us maintain that our development program is not complete unless we have professional soccer as an added incentive for our younger players. A Canadian league would provide a place for aspiring professional and National Team players to play and should minimize the problems facing the National Team Committee concerning the availability of players for International duty. We followed with keen interest the progress and success of Canada's World Cup Team through the recent 2nd qualifying round. We shared the National Team Selection Committee's concerns in not being able to obtain releases from certain teams in the Major Indoor Soccer League for a number of "first-choice" players. W e ’congratulate those players finally making up -y- the team for a job well done. It was gratifying to see so many B.C. players on the team. We wish the World Cup Team continued success in the next round of the competition this fall.
Canada's Under 19 Youth Team competed successfully in the CONCACAF tournament held in Trinidad last fall and will take part in the World Youth Championships to be played in Moscow during August of this year. We wish them continued success.
Members attending the semi-annual meeting of this Association in February this year participated in a special general meeting called for the purpose of amending and updating the B.C.Soccer Association constitution. Major items under review included increasing the Board of Directors from 6 to 8 members; reducing the term of office for Directors from 3 to 2 years; and clarifying the rules and regulations regarding non-amateur soccer and recreational soccer.
The appearance of non-amateur or semi-pro soccer in the form of the new Pacific Rim Non-Amateur Soccer League required and demanded special attention to assure that those involved were fully aware of the responsibilities and commitments necessary for a league and its member clubs to receive non-amateur recognition.
We gratefully acknowledge the financial assistance made available to us by the Provincial Government to help us in our work of promoting and developing soccer throughout the province. The Provincial Government's financial support of our development coordinator Alan Churchard and program administrator Alan Errington on a full-time basis is of tremendous value to soccer and is sincerely appreciated.
Our sincere thanks to Labatt's for their financial assistance and help in promoting and organizing the Senior Amateur Men's and Women's Provincial Championships.
My personal thanks to directors Les Hibbert, Art Shaw, Alex Turkington, Neill Ellett and Gus MacSween; to secretary Alex Kemp; to registrar Deryl Hughes; to treasurer Ivan Garrod; to development coordinator Alan Churchard and to provincial administrator Alan Errington for their support and for their keen interest in the affairs of the B.C.Soccer Association and its affiliates.
Soccer people were saddened by the news of the passing of Aubrey Sanford in January this year. Aubrey was a past president of this Association; a past president and life member of the Canadian Soccer Association and a member of the B.C.Sports Hall of Fame. Aubrey was well known and respected in soccer circles throughout Canada. We will miss him.
In preparing this report it occurred to me it may be appropriate and of particular interest to some of our new members that I include one or two comments made in other annual reports during the past ten years which are equally important today.
We, as administrators of soccer, should be constantly aware that one of our prime responsibilities is to provide the organization and leadership that will afford those actively engaged in the game at the "grass roots" the opportunity to play the game in an orderly fashion. The B.C.Soccer Association and League constitutions are designed to regulate and control the playing of soccer so that it may be enjoyed to the fullest. They are also designed to discipline those who choose to conduct themselves in a manner considered detrimental to the game. Incidents of player misconduct continue to be a source of concern. Few people are aware of and appreciate the many hours spent by members of the various disciplinary committees on a week to week basis throughout the playing season. Stronger action may need to be taken by league officials to impress on club management they have a responsibility insofar as controlling the conduct of their players, club officials and members is concerned. Repeated breaches of the laws of the game and misconduct toward referees imply that such actions in many cases are not only condoned but also encouraged by club management. Most players participate in soccer because they enjoy the game. This applies to referees and linesmen as well. We recognize that soccer is a body- contact sport and there will be occasions when tempers flare. However, the very nature of the game demands self-control and self-discipline, and if this is not forthcoming then we will have no alternative but to impose stiffer penalties and, if need be, expel persistent offenders from the game entirely.
The ever expanding growth of soccer in the Province is placing a heavy burden on the shoulders of volunteer executives at all levels and demanding more and more time than ever before. We face a very real challenge in the near future in the administrative area if we hope to cope with this expanding growth and interest in soccer. We must encourage more people to become soccer executives and administrators.
The British Columbia Soccer Association is affiliated with and recognized by the Canadian Soccer Association as the governing body for soccer in the Province of British Columbia. The C.S.A., as Canada's national association, is affiliated with FIFA, and as a member of that organization is responsible for ensuring that soccer within Canada is organized and operated in a manner consistent with the rules and regulations adopted by FIFA. The B.C.S.A. constitution, rules and regulations, in turn, must be consistent with the C.S.A. constitution, rules and regulations to ensure uniformity throughout the country. The B.C.S.A. constitution does contain some minor variations due to our playing most of our soccer in a different season than the other provinces. In turn, affiliated league and association constitutions, including amendments, must be approved by this Association before being implemented.
International competitions or tournaments; visits by foreign teams to Canada or tours abroad by Canadian teams; the transferring of players from foreign associations to Canada or Canadian players leaving Canada, and other matters of an international nature, are the sole responsibility of the C.S.A. However, I must remind local clubs, leagues, associations and other interests desiring to play a foreign team in B.C. that permission from this Association is required, in order to avoid touring games conflicting with other games that may have been scheduled or contemplated for the same date as that proposed for the visiting team, before final approval may be granted by the C.S.A.

President, June 8, 1985 B.C.Soccer Association - 11-
BRITISH COLUMBIA SOCCER ASSOCIATION
SECRETARY'S REPORT
The 1984-1985 soccer year in British Columbia was again a very busy one for your Board of Directors, Officers and Staff.
Twenty regular Board meetings were held during the year along with several committee sessions and meetings involving the Board, Officers and Staff.
The Association's sub-committee's met regularly and filed their reports on a regular basis. The outstanding results of the effort put in by the several sub-committee members are fruitful when one considers part icularly the outstanding achievement of players and coaches selected to participate in the National Teams program and with the involvement of referees, referee assessors and referee instructors at both the National and International level.
B.C. referees Robert Allan and John Meachin have officiated in recent CONCACAF competition in 1986 World Cup preliminary rounds in the United States in games played between the U.S.A. vs Trinidad and Costa Rica. Mr. Meachin was honored by the C.S.A. last November when he was a member of the Canadian team of game officials who handled the F.I.F.A. sponsored game in Zurich, Switzerland.
Players and coaches who have come up through the B.C. Soccer Association development program administered by Alan Churchard and Alan Errington have represented the Association in International competition during the past year.
Vic West, of the Vancouver Island Soccer League, won the 1984 C.S.A. senior amateur Challenge Cup competition last October. This was the Vic West club's fourth national championship in recent years.
Victoria James Bay Athletics were runners-up in the National women's competition played in Montreal.
B.C. youth teams also did well in inter-provincial competition. You will note further on in the book of reports that competition faced by B. C. teams is much stronger than in previous years.
The 1985 national Men and Women's championships will be held in Alberta over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Vancouver Croatia will compete in the Men's competition and Richmond Komerkicks in the Women's champ ionship series.
The select men's under-21 team will represent the province in the Canada Summer Games to be staged in Saint John, New Brunswick in August.
Several of the National youth championships will be staged in Vancouver over the Thanksgiving holiday period and deserve the support of the B.C. soccer fraternity. - 12-
The 1985 senior amateur championships staged at Kinsmen Stadium, North Vancouver were an outstanding success. The soccer displayed was of a high caliber. The two-day competition was also a financial success.
The promotional assistance from Labatt's and the Vancouver Metro Senior Soccer League were greatly appreciated by the cup co-ordinating committee. The executive and members of the Norvan ANAF Unit #45 soccer team did a a great deal of work behind the scenes. Their contribution is gratefully acknowledged.
The cup co-ordinating scheduler, Deryl Hughes, was faced with several problems during the scheduling of inter-league games on the lower mainland. Because of this it is recommended that the Board review the 1986 playdown structure and venues at an early date.
The B.C. Soccer Association is most fortunate in having such dedicated professional staff members in Alan Churchard and Alan Errington. The Association is also fortunate in having a very excellent and dedicated support staff.
A joint committee of the Association's board of directors and the B.C.Y.S.A. have been appointed to review the general office operation and to recommend for consideration by the Board, an update in office equipment -computer/ word processer- to better serve the membership in future years.
The day has come upon us when the Board have to consider the hiring of a Executive Director to oversee the day-to-day operation of the Association. This is a matter that your new board will have to consider to help lessen the work load of a few very dedicated volunteers who more or less oversee the day-to-day program at this time.
I gratefully acknowledge the co-operation and assistance given me by president David Fryatt and the board of directors. I also received excellent co-operation and assistance from my fellow appointed officers, Deryl Hughes and Ivan Garrod, along with that from the professional staff and the Ladies in the office.

BRITISH COLUMBIA SOCCER ASSOCIATION
Development Co-ordinator's Report
Mr. Chairman, B.C.S.A. - B.C.Y.S.A. Directors, Ladies and Gentlemen:
There I was 35,000 feet up in the air aboard British Airways Flight #088 returning from the 1985 International Soccer School. Before starting on my second orange juice I just had to jot down some notes on the soccer activities that had taken place over the past year.
The following is a culmination of these and other notes:
PLAYER DEVELOPMENT
Over the past years the B.C.S.A. has implemented a number of programs to assist in the development of players. The general objective of the development program is to provide players with developmental opport unities on a gradual and progressive basis and to enable them to develop a complete range of attacking and defensive skills, both individually and as a team.
The Soccer Development Manual as devised by the Canadian Soccer Association is now being heavily used by soccer administrators throughout the country as guidlines for soccer development in their local districts and clubs. The Manual is concerned with participation, enjoyment, sports manship, human dignity and the pursuit of excellence. It invites adminis trators, coaches and parents to examine their attitudes, motives and prior ities. It dares adults to look beyond results and trophies. It challenges the leaders of the soccer community to design programs which offer greater paricipation, enjoyment, growth and success to more young people.
MINI-SOCCER
The most important program that must be endorsed throughout the Province is that of Mini-Soccer for the under 10 age group. Many districts and clubs already have this program in progress - some, I might add, have been supporting the "mini-concept" for a number of years. Perhaps it will not have to be legislated by the Provincial Body if education is successful at local board level, but your Provincial Body must be prepared to act this way if necessary for the betterment and enjoyment for the players. Admin istrators must be convinced that Mini—Soccer is the most valuable method of introducing young players to soccer. It is simple, it enables better use to be made of space, it allows for greater involvement of participants, (ie, more touches of the ball) and by being essentially non-competitive, it allows the highest priority to be given to skill development and fun. 27
PROVINCIAL ALL-STAR TEAMS:
Excellent co-operation throughout the Province has enabled the staff of our Provincial Representative teams to conduct a much more (thorough) selection process than in past years.
The U.16 boys team staff Tom Hastie, Randy Taylor. U. 18 boys Vince Alvano, Maurice Edward U. 18 girls Len Coombes, Karen Madeiros U. 21 (Canada Games 1985): David Keith, Alan Churchard Trainers: Lou Moro, Dal Martin, Collette O ’Reilly.
All the teams have had a heavy preparation schedule towards the 1985 National Competition. The U.18 boys have been playing regular games within the International Summer League, and the reserve division of the Pacific Coast League, the Canada Games Team has a regular schedule of games within the Senior Pacific Coast League Division. The B.C.S.A. sincerely thanks these named leagues for the co-operation and encouragement that they have given to the staff and players of the All-Star Teams.
In 1986, a Provincial U.16 Girls Team must be developed, as there must be a national competition organized to develop a National Womens Team that eventually will represent Canada in Womens World Cup Competition.
An immediate required step, however, is for the development of a Womens National Club Championship along the same lines as the present mens competition.
INTER-DISTRICT LEAGUE
This is a good vehicle for development and will get even better when player selection, coaching selection, officials selection and facility selection has been reviewed and improved. The B.C.S.A. has been invited for input on a few occasions. Remember that the expertise of the B.C.S.A. is available upon request.
I am particularly concerned that some districts are not paying any attention to the National Coaching Certification Program qualifications of coaches within their area. If an individual in your club/district has a "C" License Award one knows that he has spent time, money and energy on furthering his soccer education and he knows the basic rudiments of coach ing, ie, organization, observation, and instruction. (There are only 63^ "C" License coaches in British Columbia).
NATIONAL TRAINING CENTRES
We are fortunate to have N.T.C.'s located at University of Victoria and Simon Fraser University. Under the direction of Brian Hughes and Alan Errington, programs have assisted provincial players and coaches to be more aware of the National training methods and player selection criteria. A most useful exhibition schedule was arranged between the two N.T.C. Teams and the Canada Games Team. 28
THE NATIONAL TEAM
Enjoying the success of the various national teams B.C. has had an approximate 50% representation on the World Cup, Olympic, U.19 Youth, and U.16 teams.
Canada is now rated:
1st: CONCACAF. 5th: Olympic Games. 34th: World Cup (out of 148 F.I.F.A. members).
Congratulations to Tony Waiters, Bob Bearpark and their assist ants. British Columbia coaches and administrators who have assisted players through the mini-phase to elite level must not be forgotten either!
LABATT'S/COCA-COLA SEMINARS
These evenings are proving very popular with players and coaches at both senior and youth level. Programs are designed to fit individual groups.
BRITISH COLUMBIA ATHLETIC AWARD
1985 Recipients of this award, provided by the Provincial Govern ment, were: R. Dirksen; B. Sandie; C. Tynan; G. Young; K. Reilly and D. Cooper. The Award provides financial assistance to British Columbia Athletes who are striving for excellence. The Athletes assisted by the Program are expected to maintain their commitment to ahtletic training and competition and, wherever feasible, to continue their academic or working careers in B.C. and assist with the development programs of the sport governing body.
COACHING DEVELOPMENT:
Good coaching plays a vital part in the development of individual and team playing skills. The objective of the B.C.S.A. Coaching Development Program is to develop a coaching program that will enhance the quality of soccer coaching throughout British Columbia.
At a time when sport societies around the world are becoming more and more sophisticated and the techniques of coaching constantly changing, it is very appropriate to report that soccer coaching in British Columbia is beginning to demonstrate the maturity and capability which should be ex pected from over twenty years of steady development of coaching education development programs. The number of B.C. soccer coaches entered on the National Coaching Certification Program data base in Ottawa is now over 5,000. The vast majority of these coaches have completed all three com ponents - theory, technical and practical - of the certification program at a given level within the Level 1 - 5 system of the Canadian Soccer Association. 29
The coaching programs alert the participants to correct soccer teaching principles and progressions essential for learning to take place. For a soccer administrator to hire, appoint, or accept a volunteer coach for the primary reason of simply filling a position to either allow a league to continue or to give players a body to "coach" them is very ill-advised. It used to be a necessity now it can, and should be, avoided.
Program Administrator, Alan Errington has supervised a total of 33 qualifying clinics during the year, assisted by qualified instructors throughout the Province.
At present we have 63 coaches with the qualification of "C" or "B" License. It is from these people that coaching instructors, district rep resentative team coaches, and club head coaches, should come. The Provincial All-Star Team coaches must have, at least, the "C" License Award.
High priority must now be given by the B.C.S.A. and its affiliates to developing more "C" License Coaches.
Soccer people generally agree that one of the best ways to develop a good soccer environment and to help players reach their potential is to develop good coaching. This is the purpose of all coaching development pro grams offered through the B.C. Soccer Association.
HIGH PERFORMANCE COACHES CONFERENCE
The B.C. Recreation and Sport Branch hosted the first B.C. High Performance Coaches' Conference at the Harrison Hotel November 9 - 12, 1984. The purpose of the Conference was to provide an exceptional learning exper ience for B.C.'s top coaches by increasing their specific skills in planning, sport psychology, sport physiology, sport medicine and fund-raising. B.C.S.A. coaches in attendance were David Keith, Alan Errington, Tom Hastie, Ken Robinson, Randy Taylor, Marvin Dierks and Alan Churchard.
OFFICIALS DEVELOPMENT
The ongoing development of officials is seen as one of the major areas of responsibility confronting our sport. This need is one that can be expressed in terms of both quality and quantity.
The B.C.S.A. Referee Education Committee members David Roach, Jack Tinnion, Tom Reakes and Fred Linz are committed to designing programs and providing related information to assist in the education of referees at all 1eve1s.
Our Referee Instructors are improving in both quality and number under the direction of the Education Committee. The Instructors , of course, must not only be up-to-date in the light of developments in the laws of the game and their interpretation, but also know how to impart this knowledge. A summary of the Education Committee activities is enclosed. - 30 -
REFEREE ASSESSMENT BOARD
Working closely with the Education Committee, the Assessment Board has spent many hours upgrading senior referees in all kinds of weather. A successful Assessors Clinic was attended by 22 persons in Vancouver. The Assessment Board now intends to further develop assessors in different regions of the Province.
B.C. SUMMER GAMES
The 1985 Summer Games to be held in Nanaimo promises to be the biggest yet, with 4,600 athletes expected to be in attendance. Soccer will be the largest single sport represented with competitions for both men and women.
SUMMER SOCCER SCHOOLS
Sponsored by Coca-Cola and directed by Alan Errington the B.C.S.A. has had request for 156 schools. Once again we are able to offer our members a low cost but high quality program.
INTERNATIONAL SOCCER SCHOOL
Fifty-one members comprised the party that attended the 3rd Annual International School in England, March 22nd - April 6th. In addition to the players, a course was conducted for the 12 referees in attendance by the English F.A.
B.C.S.A. SUMMER SOCCER ACADEMY *I
This program, offered for the second year, now has 100 players registered for tutelage at the feet of guest coaches Paul Sturrock, Barrie Clarke, Gordon Banks and B.C.S.A. coaches.
The Referees and Coaches Academy being introduced in 1985 will allow experienced coaches to upgrade N.C.C.P. coaching qualifications side by side with referees. They will have the benefit of former F.I.F.A. and World Cup referee Clive Thomas, and Master Instructor of N.C.C.P. Theory, Chris Johnson to guide them through the week.
The policy of the B.C.S.A. Development programs is to offer pro grams to soccer persons who wish to: a) take part in soccer simply for fun and recreation; b) to work hard to improve their playing experience; c) to become elite soccer players; or d) to do all three!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the instructors of the development programs; the B.C.S.A. and B.C.Y.S.A. Boards for their full support; Alan Errington and Keith Liddiard for the many cups of tea and en thusiasm for the game; to the very important office ladies - Marcey Cameron, Lynn Duncan, Sally MacDonald, Sandra Harvey and Pat Abercrombie for their patience and assistance in meeting deadlines.

OKANAGAN REGION SUB-COMMISSIONER'S REPORT
As the B.C. Soccer Association appointed sub-commissioner in the Okanagan Valley region, I have represented the board of directors and the Association during the past year at seven meetings which were held in Vernon; Penticton and Kelowna, all pertaining to our local referee associations; Okanagan Valley Senior Soccer League; Okanagan Valley Women's Soccer League and City Leagues;
The disciplinary committee have done excellent work and I am happy to report that there were less offences reported during the past year as compared to the previous season.
To make it known that the B.C. Soccer Association is interested in all levels of soccer, I have attended many soccer games -not only the men's leagues- but the ladies and youth games as well.
Over the year, I have dealt with eighteen complaints which I was able to solve without too much difficulty.
On my visits to the various cities where I have attended soccer meet ings, I have travelled approximately 400 miles.
The 1985-86 season seems to be off to a good start and I am looking forward to another good season of Soccer.

REFEREE ASSESSMENT & EXAMANING BOARD
Once again, the past year has been a full one for the Assessment Board.
Looking back over the year we had approximately 160 referees assessed, from I.C. 3 to F.I.F.A.
For the past two years we have had a Referees Assessment form where the Referee would apply in writing to be assessed. So far, in those two we have had approximately eighty applications for assessment. In view of the number of games played and Referees involved in the two years, the Board are of the opinion that it is not a very good percentage, and a good number of Referees are apparently not interested in geing upgraded for their own future in Refereeing.
The Fraser Valley area association now have a liaison officer -Eric Mason- to deal with any problems their members may have in assessing and keeping this Board informed of new Referees or any other matters the Board should be made aware of. My sincere thanks to all the people who helped in the assessing program in the Fraser Valley this pasy year. Without their help it would have made a difficuly task a lot harder.
Looking ahead to the future, we must turn our attention to other areas in the Province. We have had a number of names submitted to the Board to look after assessments in out of town areas. The concern of the Board is whether or not those persons nominated would be properly qualified to be Assessors. The Board would like to know, through the B.C. Soccer Office and Alan Churchard's office, whether or not there is enough interest for the Board to hold Assessor Clinics in out of town areas along the same lines as the one held last September at B.C.S.A. Headquarters, so that we would be better able to appoint Assessors in different regions throughout the Province.
In closing, I would like to thank all the Board members -Tom Kelly, Neil Ellett and George Speed- and also the dedicated people who have assisted the Board in making the British Columbia referee program one of the best in the country.

BRITISH COLUMBIA SOCCER ASSOCIATION
C.S.A. Annual General Meeting Report:
The 73rd annual communication of the Canadian Soccer Association was held in the Delta Brunswick Hotel, Saint John, New Brunswick on April 26 and 27, 1985. * t
The British Columbia delegation was headed by president D. M. Fryatt and included BCSA directors Neil Ellett, Arthur Shaw, Alex Turkington, secretary Alex Kemp, development co-ordinator Alan Churchard along with BCYSA directors Mrs. Moira Barnetson and Fred Jopson.
Delegates representing the ten provinces and the Northwest Territories were in attendance. There was a total of 86 votes; eleven of which were carried by the B.C. Soccer Association.
The meeting convened at 2:30 p.m. on the Friday afternoon and adjourned at 4:00 p.m. on the Saturday afternoon. The delegates and guests attended a civic reception and banquet on the Saturday evening.
Most of the opening days session was spent hearing the various officer and committee reports, with a great deal of the time spent discussing the Association's long range financial plan -1985 Budget review- as presented by finance director Rick Zinkiewicz.
The was a great deal of discussion -mostly negative- on the proposed deficit budget for 1985 before a motion to 'table' same pending a report from the Association's marketing director on fund-raising was heard by the membership. The marketing committee report was heard on the second day of deliberations.
Highlight of this committee's report was the fund raising promotion: "Marching to Mexico . . . World Cup '86" This promotion will commence throughout the country on June 10th.
The committee were confient in their presentation that the necessary funds could be raised -mostly through Provincial Association's and Affiliates- to help lessen the financial crisis which faces the Canad ian Soccer Association in its bid for a berth in the 1986 World Cup competition in Mexico.
The majority of delegates present were obviously over-awed by the presentation made by the marketing committee, because, when the budget debate resumed, the Finance Director's report and recommendations were accepted with only the B.C. Soccer Association casting a negative vote. Ontario, who had earlier spoken strongly against the proposed deficit budget, abstained from voting on the motion.
The deficit facing the Canadian Soccer Association in the 1985 operation $274,349.00

CSA AGM Report (cont)
The 1985 World Cup team budget is for $1,014,900. The following year -1986- it decreases a wee bit to $953,000.
It was noted in the Finance Director's report that failure of the National team to qualify for the final rounds in Mexico will immediately erase the $525,000 in corporate sponsorship plus the $500,000 in the Association's projected share on 1986 World Cup revenues.
Other highlights of the meeting which involve the Senior Amateur program in particular were:
Player registration fees: Same will be increased one dollar next season.
An increase in the Youth player registration fee will also take effect.
Women's Soccer:
Attempts are being made by the Association to get Sport Canada funding for the Women's program so that a National team program can be brought into being in the next year or two.
F.I.F.A. are holding an "invitaional" world cup in Japan in 1986.
Elections:
Four directors were re-elected to office by acclamation. They were: Alex Hylan (Victoria); Les Wilkinson (Ontario); Bill Gilhespy (Alberta) and Bob Sayer (Nova Scotia). 1986 AGM:
The British Columbia Soccer Association will host the 1986 next April 4 - 6 in Vancouver.
