BC SCHOOL SPORTS - Sport Commission Meetings

AGENDA

  1. BC School Sports update
    • They are enjoying their new building at Fortis in Burnaby.
    • The building has a fitness training center, sports facilities and other Provincial Sport Organizations are also renting space.
    • There are also hotel rooms for rent in the building.
  2. Insurance
    • BCSS spends 56,000 $ a year for insurance that covers all of our zone and provincial championships.
    • The other way that we are insured is through the School Protection program from our own districts.
  3. Sanctioning of events
    • If we are playing teams outside of BC, we must fill out the sanctioning forms. Those forms can be found on line with BCSS.
  4. Statutory Declaration
    • More and more people are not telling the truth on these forms. They have to be notarized, to swear that you are indeed telling the truth about where their players live. If you are caught lying, it is a criminal offense of perjury.
  5. Eligibility info
    • They are creating a brochure for parents to help them understand how eligibility works.
  6. Fundraising
    • Subway and BCSS have created a great fundraiser for schools. It is a card selling program, the Subway discount card costs 10$ with 70$ of savings. School gets $8 and BCSS gets $2. Huge deal for us!!!!!
  7. Via Sport Travel grant
    • Schools that attend the Provincial Championships will be again receiving a check from Via sport to cover travel costs. You DO NOT have to do anything. I simply give them a list of who qualified for Provincials and they have a formula and send a check to your principal depending on how far you have to travel.
  8. Population numbers
    • This is causing a small problem for some zones because the Tiers numbers that were used were numbers provided from the ministry from last year and since then some schools have amalgamated, changed or had grades added so their designated tier is incorrect. But this is being corrected on a school by school basis.
  9. Sports Day in Canada
    • Schools are being encouraged to have "Jersey Day" at the end of November.
  10. Zone Play offs
    • Zone reps are urged to check and verify that team rosters from their zone match registration with BCSS. It has already happened in other sports where teams have had to withdraw from the playoffs due to ineligible players. It is the job of the zone rep to verify rosters before playoffs start to avoid heart ache.
  11. BCSS A.G M
    • May 10th, coaches are encouraged to attend but if you can't make it on-line voting will now be available. The details of how it would all work will be provided later in the year.
