SAVA Information Night

Comments off

The basic league information night is coming up in two weeks. We are hosting it at SIAST on Friday September 9th at 7:00 pm. We will cover basic information for the league and cover some important officiating rules.

Captains or a representative from each team must attend or a default fee of $25 will be deducted from your performance bond.

SAVA is now accepting co-ed teams for the 2011-2012 season
Fun for all levels (recreational to competitive)
Deadline to Register is September 5 (space is limited, so don’t delay)

To register: email president@savavball.ca or call 262-2776

AGM April 5 @ Kelsey

 The AGM is on  April 5 @ Kelsey (room 104)

Room will be open at 6:00, meeting starting at 6:30 and the doors will be locked at 6:45.  (teams without a representative at the meeting will lose preference for a spot in the league)  

New Teams: You will want to get there early to have your name added to the waiting list because the order on the list is the order of preference.  (Executive members have preference for spots in the league)

If you or one of your team members are interested in being a part of the executive maybe read through the positions available to make an informed decision (Constitution Bylaws Updated Sept 21, 2010).  I encourage people to consider being a part of the executive, it’s a great group of people and we can always use some more good people!

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!  Amber

Updated Bylaws

The updated bylaws have been posted on the website at General Information. It would be useful to look over the updated bylaws, especially 12.9 (Substitution List Players) and 12.10 (Permit Players).
Going to be an exciting year!

Online Rosters

This year’s rosters will be completed online.  Captains that want to get started go to following link: https://www.savavball.ca/members/forgottenPassword.php.  At that site, you will enter the email address you have provided to SAVA.  A random password will be generated and sent to your email address. 

Included in the email from the SAVA website will be your username (email address), new password and a link to enter the SAVA site.

Once you have logged into the site, go to “My Profile” tab on the top right corner.  Please update your profile (date of birth and gender) and change your password!

Then you can start registering your team on the “Team Info” page. Initially members are “not verified” after you add them. This is because the system sends an email to them asking them to verify that they want to play on your team… similar to confirm a friend on facebook.

To add a member to your team you need their first name, last name, email and date of birth. Captains, please notify your team members that they will need to confirm they want to play for your team on the ‘Team Info’ page.

If you have any problems, contact Amber Smith or Chris Gaschler, who will help you through the process.

 As discussed at the AGM, we are having a presentation this fall on the basic rules of SAVA and the new rules for SAVA.  It should be a 45 minute presentation.  It starts at 7:00 pm at Bridges (2415 22 Street West) in the basement.  It will be held on Friday September 10th.  If you are not able to attend or a member from your team cannot attend, a $25 default fee will be taken from your team for not showing. 
  I would recommend coming because of the 2 big rule changes this year.  The first is permitting players and the second is the substitution pool.  The updated bylaws should be posted very shortly on the website.    
  Hope to see everyone out!

SAVA executive opening

The SAVA executive has recently had a member resign. This leaves the MLA as Equipment Facilitator open. This year would be a very exciting year to be on the executive with all the new changes to the league. If you are interested please contact Amber Smith at amberbrooke1984@hotmail.com.

Looking forward to an exciting season!

Thanks
