Call to order and passing of the minutes from the Fall meeting

South Central Zone meeting update:  There was no more discussion on having CISAA schools be removed from South Central Zone competition.  Discussion took place on implement changes for Jr. high track & Field

Presidents Report- Dean  We have had a good year but we still need to do a better job getting all our coaches to conduct themselves in a more sportsmanlike manner. We have passed a notice of motion to have a commissioner read off a sportsmanship statement prior to all CISAA championship tournaments.  Banners- We discussed the problems and the possibility of moving to a new supplier (Big Mountain)

Sport Coordinator Report- Lance  No feedback regarding specific sports  Thanks to Lance for his flexibility and effort throughout the season

Passing a motion to look into the CISAA providing a cell phone plan for Lance!! All members are in favour.

Financial Report- Viv  Finances look great  Please ask accounting department to itemized what fees are being paid when they write their cheques as it helps Viv when she receives the funds.  Still waiting on some fees to be paid  Badminton fees are starting to come in  Soccer, Rugby, Track & Field will be due in June

 New Business- Dean  Some opportunities exist for some online coaching courses. Some of the AIAA courses have been tremendous for our coaches. Some sport specific courses will be coming out in the future.

We can get to a higher level with our coaches. Dean has a contact (Bob Wilkie- I Got Mind) who has designed some online courses that deals with the positive interactions between athletes/coaches and parents. Dean is looking into a pilot project for the CISAA. Bob will be speaking with the members at the fall meeting to discuss how this could be implemented for our league. As part of the courses, coaches would be watching other coaches and submitting possible reports on what they view from various coaches in game situations.

As a league this can help recognize high quality coaches for their positive influence (Financial award of some sort). Also it helps us work with coaches who have a history of ongoing unsportsmanlike behavior.

Dean is looking at committing to CISAA using $5000.00 to help pay for this course.

Ideally we would have all coaches in the CISAA take this course.

Concerns raised were- Asking coaches to take yet another course after the AIAA ones were just adopted, Challenges of asking more of coaches/parents to do more, we would need to see the material first before making a decision, small schools may not need an executive backing if they have issues with coaches, certain school in our league could be violating protocol if they evaluate their peers within the school division they belong to, some schools are not allowed to evaluate their peers.

Dean will bring Bob in to speak to us all in the Fall

Housekeeping-Lance  Updating things in the bylaws  Cross over matters  Officials- always needed for our games  Soccer officials are needed-email Lance  Possibly tier our Jr. High leagues??
