General Business

  1. Score cards – some discussion as office looking at the clubs retaining score cards after being signed by both teams and scores being entered on Goalnet by clubs.    We would still like Stu Munro to keep a table of our results and keep track of the goal scorers.   Suggestion that teams should swap score cards after they have been signed.    Possibly pass cards to office, to hold, but not weekly.
  2. Rules and Regulations – Ken is looking at doing something for Sthld senior football but we are likely to conflict with the men in the referee section as we prefer to have the home side supply a ref if one isn’t appointed.

a)      Transfers – the meeting wishes to have our chairman notified of any such requests supplied to her from the office each Friday morning and their outcome.

b)      New registrations – would like these recorded at meetings as they arise.

c)      Team lists to be given to chairman by a set date – copy of listings on Goalnet would be ideal.

d)     Committee – form a separate group to make decisions as required for the good of women’s football in Sthld when a matter arises, as necessary, using opinions given by club delegates, if considered necessary, at a general meeting.

e)      Player of the Day – to be selected by the opposition on the team’s score card as well as a list which can be passed to the committee at the end of the season to assist in selecting the Player of the Year.

f)       Cancellations – due to ground conditions use the turf to play the two games of the cancelled round scheduled there, and if it happens again the other two games in the first cancelled round will be played on the turf if possible.

g)      Referee co-ordinator –find correct name to include.

h)      Special arrangements – home team needs to tell the opposition and referee as well as the draws convenor.

 

Ashley is going to type alterations in to the 2012 version for committee to check out and have a final draft ready for the next meeting.

  1. Pre-season – Tove to check if Southend would like to host it.   Dates will be 25 March and 1 April with league commencement date 15 April 2012.
  2. Sponsorship for league – Ken is working on this, but nothing to report with the suggestion of SBS being in conflict with the ASB’s general sponsorship for SF and NZ Football in general.    Wendy to follow up.
  3. Office bearers – the following nominations came in:

Tove Crosswell for chairman

Wendy Boniface for secretary

Ashley Gordon and Iain Walker for committee members with Ashley happy to be the draws convenor.  Moved Lance, 2nd David.

  1. Social league – look at having games on Sunday mornings on the turf for new players.   Put notice up at Summer Football, get names from Ken of summer football players and hand out flyers to each team in late February, and email it to them as well.  Primary schools and through junior delegates for advertising as well.  Corporate teams could be formed but individuals could also be put into a team as required.   If Queens Park have a lot of players who wish to play in it, then that club may be willing to help out or the bye team (if there is one) could assist otherwise the teams playing on the turf at 12.30pm could be assigned the duty as there would need to be referees and a general controller each Sunday.    First day would be ‘have-a-go’ day.     
  2. Queen’s Birthday Weekend tournament -  suggest a Southland women’s team, invite Queenstown on their own as well as other clubs from further afield but smaller region rep teams are acceptable.    Wendy to send a preliminary notice to the Dunedin clubs as well as regional offices further away.

Meeting closed:          9.05pm

Next meeting:             14 February 2012, 7.30pm

General Business

 

 

Score cards

Some discussion as office looking at having score cards retained by the club to be referred to if a query is made after being signed by oppositions’ teams’ personnel.   Considering having results recorded on Goalnet and entered by individual clubs – big task for some clubs; suggestion score cards should be retained by opposition rather than each club keeping their own card.

 

Rep season

Coach appointments need to be made earlier as well as holding trials earlier, suggested dates 13/20/27 May for trials.  Comment players coming into rep teams need to be taught basic techniques which should be being installed by the club coaches – perhaps more coach sessions required.   Rep team personnel manual would be useful.   Strip and tracksuits were discussed.  Wonder who pays for Otago team tracksuits?

 

Wish List

Rep strip replacement needed across grades plus tracksuits.

 

2012 season

Stage two of Fun Football – continue as we did last year in 9 – 12th grade but have a separate 9th grade especially for whole teams coming direct from Fun Football but it will be competitive.   The Whole of Football Plan pamphlet overviews where practice plans are divided into the different categories and tells what percentage of time should be spent on each.

 

Chairman’s report

Lance presented his report and its adoption was moved Grant, 2nd Brendon.

A number of additions were suggested before it is presented at Southland Football’s AGM in December.

 

Office Bearers

Chairman; Lance Kiddey nominated Russell, 2nd Iain.

Secretary: Wendy Boniface nominated Brendon, 2nd Russell.

Committee members: this is open for discussion at the next meeting.
