Address Randolph Harris President

In keeping with the philosophy of the Barbados Football Association, which is that we are not just existing to develop this beautiful game, but to also mold the young minds of our footballers in unity, camaraderie and discipline, the Board of the Association has set about to empower its members.

From 2012 to present, we have systematically set about to improve the management of this great organization in the During this Period under review the Board has instituted the following areas; following;

1. Revamping of our Constitution, bringing it in line with 1. Participation of a Beach Soccer National team in the FIFA that of our International Partners; FIFA and CONCACAF. World Cup preliminary Competition, for the first time.

BARBADOS FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION BARBADOS FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION Annual Report 2015 3

We have also been awarded the performance programme, which is for MAs who satisfy the requirements of good The Executive Board governance as required by FIFA.

Furthermore, so far we have secured the following courses from FIFA for 2016;

1. Administrative Course for Clubs.

2. FIFA Medical Diploma for Football injuries.

3. Referees Assistance Programme course

4. The Women’s Football Development Project, which includes the financing of the following activities; Capt. Al Walcott Ashton Chapman ‘Live your Goals’ Project and Grassroots for women. Senior Vice President Junior Assistant Secretary Competition and league development for ladies, including a youth camp. Coaching education – intermediate Women’s football Administration

Are we perfect? Of course we are not. We were committed to a comprehensive strategy for our FIFA World Cup drive, which was derailed by our eviction from the tournament. However we will not be daunted, we will recognize our mistakes and pursue improvements in all facets of the local game. Barney Callender Nicole Puckerin Our finances have continued to be problematic. One of the Treasurer Assistant Treasurer areas of concern is that the FIFA Assistance Programme (FAP) of US$250.000, has been subsidizing our local and international competitions,( which should be our main revenue earners), courses and Seminars, as well as covering the expenses of administration and maintenance.

The Board in an effort to be more self-sufficient, has offered season tickets on sale to the public, as a means of raising additional funds, and at the same time offering the opportunity to our Member Clubs to benefit from this venture by earning 25% of the sales to their supporters. Junior Allsopp Gregory Thompson Member Member We must recognize that the FAP is not a right but a privilege, we cannot continue to take it for granted, we must work together for the success of the game of football.

Finally, I must commend the Board for its unwavering guidance, to the Sponsors, Government and its agencies, the Media and you the football family for your continued support.
