2. Reports

2.1 Financial Report

2.1.1 October Financial Statement
The October Financial Report was circulated and reviewed.

MOTION by Nepjuk/Segall to adopt the October financial statement as presented. CARRIED

2.1.2 Monthly Statement

2.1.3 Fall Activities Report
An incomplete report outlining the revenue and expenses for the fall 2005 activities was presented. Gate receipts and expense reports for some football and volleyball events had not been received at the time of the report.

2.2 CSSF Annual Meeting
Sue Fleming took the minutes from all CSSF meetings. SHSAA will get the minutes from Sue and forward them on to our executive. Comments; there were too many presentations from outside groups, although some were very beneficial including True Sport and Basketball Canada. More time devoted to specific high school issues would have been appreciated. Delegates from across Canada indicated the event was very successful and they enjoyed their visit to Saskatchewan and specifically the 'friendly city' of Moose Jaw.

2.3 Office Report
The Executive was updated on the activities of the office staff since the September meeting. The office reported on a number of protests, coach / player ejections and team withdrawals from volleyball playoffs. A brief report of those decisions was given to the executive.

2.3.1 Transfers
The office has dealt with hundreds of student transfers. The office reported that too many schools are filing transfer forms when it is not required. Students that change schools due to a change in family residence and students that change schools to begin grade ten do not require a transfer form. The SHSAA office will adjust the SHSAA and school database based on a telephone call or e-mail from the school administration. Only students that change schools after grade ten and without a corresponding family move or direction by a recognized authority require a transfer form filled out by each school.

Larry Segall suggested the due dates for eligibility forms (E-5) should be moved earlier in the season. Schools may not realize they are participating with students that are ineligible due to the transfer rules if they do not file their forms until midway through the season. They would then be forced to forfeit any games involving the ineligible student. Office was directed to look into possible dates or options regarding this discussion.

2.4 Fall Sport Reports - Recommendations and Issues only

2.4.1 Golf
The grass golf coaches meeting discussed the possibility of adopting a male and female team championship rather than the current combined school team. The majority of coaches felt it was important to develop female golfers and the best way to achieve that is to be part of the school team instead of separating into two championships.

2.4.2 Cross Country
2.4.2.1 The coaches meeting held at the provincial championship approved a recommendation to change distances from 4km, 5km and 6km to 3km, 4km and 4km for the midget, junior and senior boys categories. The discussion revolved around training athletes to compete at the university and club level or encouraging as many students as possible to participate and enjoy running for life. This recommendation will be presented at the June 2006 AGM as a resolution for change. Discussion turned to concerns regarding the 'unsafe and unreasonable' course at Biggar. The office was directed to investigate standards for cross-country courses, to see if we need to change or add standards to our handbook guidelines.
2.4.2.2 The Executive Director recommended eliminating the presentation of ribbons to Districts for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place finishes at the conclusion of the provincial championship. It was recommended that the awards ceremony consist of medal/ribbon presentations to individuals that finish in the top ten and the gold, silver and bronze medals awarded to each winning school team in the four classifications. District winners would be recorded in the provincial final results published by the Association. This would shorten the wait between the last race and the start of the award presentations and shorten the award ceremony.

2.4.3 Soccer
Concern was expressed to the Association regarding field size at the provincial championships. Marvin Renneberg and Larry Segall volunteered to form recommendations regarding minimum field size to host provincial soccer championship.

2.4.4 Football
2.4.4.1 Reports received regarding incidents involving a non-participating coaches involvement during the provincial championship. Direction given to the Executive Director to follow the procedures outlined in the Bylaws to deal with an alleged breach of the Bylaws by coaches and supervisors.

2.4.4.2 Reports received regarding performance of officials in a playoff contest. Discussion regarding official's development and resources available to officials outside of major centres. Suggested that letter of concern be written to Football Saskatchewan regarding resources for officials development. Procedure outlined in Bylaws indicates a report should be made to the district referee-in-chief, the district officials' commissioner and the official to address the issues raised regarding the official's performance.

a) Other officiating issues were discussed including: the possibility of not assigning any host/local officials to a provincial championship in their area. Cost of such a policy and availability of officials. Some officials already demand 2 to 3 times SHSAA rates for game fee, meals and mileage to officiate in rural Saskatchewan. Discussion regarding the merits of an SHSAA officials association and a development system to recruit and train officials. Three issues came forward from the discussion, local vs travel officials, amount we pay officials, and how to recruit/train officials. The officials' commissioner was asked to address and report recommendations to the Executive Council on the three topics.
b) Written concerns regarding involvement of Football Saskatchewan in high school football were discussed. Specifically the unmonitored message board on their web site. The weekly and yearend ranking of all 5 SHSAA football categories, the SHSAA is on record as being philosophically opposed to publishing team ranking in any SHSAA activity. The unapproved use of the SHSAA logo on the rankings page listed on the Football Sask web site. The presentation of provincial championship plaques to schools listing the Football Saskatchewan provincial high school championship.

MOTION by Segall/Edmonds to write letter of concern regarding issues raised in the reports. CARRIED
2.4.4.3 Discussion regarding a football extravaganza, whereby the SHSAA would host all 5 categories at Taylor Field in Regina. It was suggested that this be considered for a one time trial basis in November of 2007. Suggested we poll schools involved in football to determine interest and concerns that may exist.

2.4.5 Volleyball
The regional format for volleyball still needs consideration. Some classifications did not have enough teams to require four regional playoffs. Seven teams withdrew from the regional tournaments as they had placed second at the District level and felt no need or desire to continue in the playoffs.

3. Decisions

3.1 Late Fee Appeals

3.1.1 Kinistino School
Kinistino was assessed a late filing fee for an incomplete golf eligibility form. They appealed based on the fact that the coach believed he had completed the form after filing the coach information and declaration to participate in the playoffs and that it was an oversight that he did not place any students on the roster.

MOTION by Tillier/Moore to accept Kinistino's appeal. DEFEATED

3.2 Reclassification Requests
A number of requests and inquires have been received regarding teams reclassifying to the 6A and 5A basketball categories. Discussion whether the new 6A and 5A basketball categories are intended to be exclusive to a defined group of schools. The executive was asked to consider combining the 5A and 4A categories for 2006 provincial basketball playoffs. The discussion ended with agreement to evaluate the effect after the season and if necessary submit a recommendation to the AGM in June. The following motions for reclassification were made.

3.2.1 Weyburn Boys to reclassify from 4A to 5A Basketball

MOTION by Nepjuk/Segall to accept Weyburn's reclassification application. CARRIED

3.2.2 Notre Dame Girls to reclassify from 3A to 5A Basketball

MOTION by Nepjuk/Segall to accept Notre Dame's reclassification application. CARRIED

3.2.3 Delisle Girls to reclassify from 3A to 5A Basketball

MOTION by Nepjuk/Segall to accept Delisle's reclassification application. CARRIED

MOTION by Segall/Renneberg for the office to investigate and report recommendations to move eligibility form due dates earlier in the season. CARRIED

3.2.4 Oxbow Boys to reclassify from 3A to 4A Volleyball

MOTION by Segall/Lissinna to grant Oxbow's request to reclassify for a one-year period rather than the reclassification period of three years indicated in the policy. DEFEATED

3.3 Prince Albert St. Mary Football Request
St. Mary requested an exception to the classification bylaws to allow a St. Mary football team to participate in 9-man football for a couple of years in order to establish their program. St. Mary is pursuing inclusion in the Saskatoon football league, which is designated as a 4A twelve-man league in order to qualify for provincial playoffs. This is the classification St. Mary would fit according to current classification bylaws. If unsuccessful in their attempt for inclusion in Saskatoon's league St. Mary would seek inclusion in a 9-man league and would like to participate in those playoffs leading to a provincial championship. Concern expressed regarding the upper limit for 9-man football is currently 250 male students in grades 10 -12. St. Mary's current male population is 401 eligible students. Suggested that if not accepted into a 12-man league and the only option is to play 9-man, they be considered eligible to participate in league play but ineligible for provincial play.

MOTION by Renneberg/McKellar that the SHSAA send a letter to Saskatoon (SSSAD) supporting St. Mary High School's request for inclusion in the Saskatoon twelve-man league. CARRIED

MOTION by Renneberg/McKellar that St. Mary is eligible to participate in nine-man regular season play but ineligible to participate in nine-man football provincial playoffs. CARRIED

MOTION by Tillier/Renneberg that the SHSAA allow PA St. Mary's to participate in provincial playoffs leading to the 4A twelve-man provincial championship if they are participating in a nine-man league. DEFEATED

3.3 North Battleford Football Request
North Battleford Comprehensive School requested to be included in the 3A twelve-man football playoffs in the 2006 season. North Battleford competes in the Saskatoon football league, which is designated as a 4A league for the purpose of qualifying for provincial play. It was noted in the discussion that qualification for football provincial play is based on the designation of the twelve-man league a school participates in. Currently each of the existing 3A and 4A leagues are made up of a combination of 3A and 4A class teams. It was noted that to place North Battleford in the 3A playoffs for 2006 the league schedule in one of the two current 3A leagues would have to compact or shorten its regular season play.

MOTION by Edmonds / Moore to place North Battleford Comprehensive School in the playoff structure for 3A football in the 2006 season. DEFEATED

3.4 Eligibility Exception Requests

3.4.1 Maple Creek
Maple Creek High School request an exception to the eligibility bylaws on behalf of a home school student that participates in interschool athletics as a representative of their school. This student began receiving grade ten credits in September of 2002 as part of her home schooling. The student was born in 1988 as are the majority of current grade twelve students. The student has not completed qualifications for grade twelve graduation. She has competed in school sport in 2003-2004 and 2004-2005. The request is to be eligible for the 2005-2006 school year.

MOTION by Tillier/Nepjuk to accept the request for exception to the eligibility bylaws from Maple Creek High School. CARRIED

3.4.2 Prince Albert St. Mary
St. Mary High School seeks an exception to the eligibility bylaws on behalf of a student currently in grade eleven that will be ineligible for school sport in the 2006-2007 school year. This student was unable to participate in school sport for the majority of the 2004-2005 school year due to a medical condition. The medical condition required three surgeries and prevented the student from attending school and achieving completion of his full course load. St. Mary indicates the student is still not able to participate due to the illness but is requesting the student be eligible for participation in the 2006-2007 school year.

MOTION by Edmonds/Renneberg to accept the request for exception to the eligibility bylaws from St. Mary High School. CARRIED

3.4.3 Regina Harvest City
Harvest City seeks an exception to the eligibility bylaws on behalf of a student that achieved requirements for graduation in June of 2005. The student and his family made a decision in 2004 to alter course offerings in order to graduate early and pursue training in carpentry in the 2005-2006 school year. The school indicates it advised against altering the course load to achieve early graduation. The student graduated in June 2005 and entered the work force in construction and has returned to school to resume his original course of studies. The school is requesting the student be eligible for the 2005-2006 school year.

MOTION by Segall/Edmonds to accept the request for exception to the eligibility bylaws from Harvest City Academy. DEFEATED

The office applied the policy outlined on page 61 of the SHSAA handbook. Discussion regarding the SHSAA policy that indicates that a school that hosts an SHSAA playoff event and does not charge and submit gate receipts to the Association must pay an amount equal to the highest gate collected in that activity and may not be allowed the privilege to host another SHSAA event for 3 years.

Committee asked to include information regarding the value of a commissioner/athletic director for the division/district.

4.1 Pre-Season Basketball League
Discussion regarding a circular that was distributed to schools to Regina and area schools advocating a pre-season basketball league. It was noted that schools showed no interest in this venture. The Executive Council indicated it would be concerned with such an activity extending the basketball season into the fall events and encouraging schools to start basketball even earlier than currently is suggested in the SHSAA and district policies.

4.2 Six-Man Football concerns
A coach submitted a request to the office to call a meeting of all six-man football coaches in the province to discuss a list of issues brought forward by the coach. Office was directed to respond to the request indicating that the Association has a process for schools to seek changes through their league, division, district, executive and provincial councils. Indicate that the office staff would be available if a majority of schools indicated they would support such a meeting.

4.3 ASAA Founders Dinner
Alberta Schools Athletic Association has invited Saskatchewan to participate in their first ever founders dinner. The ASAA will unveil its virtual hall of fame for high school sport in Alberta at this event. No commitment to attend was made at this time.

4.4 Sask Sport Hall of Fame Request
Representatives of the Sask Sport Hall of Fame met with office staff to discuss their desire to open a portion of the hall to high school sport in Saskatchewan. Agreement was made to place provincial championship trophies from SHSAA activities in the hall along with other memorabilia on an ongoing basis. Curling was identified as the first sport to be trialed in the hall.

4.5 Team Skyline Agreement
A three-year agreement with Team Skyline Sport has been finalized continuing the relationship with the SHSAA as the 'official supplier of sports equipment'. Team Skyline will continue to supply balls to SHSAA championships in Soccer, Football, Basketball and Golf as well as making an annual sponsorship payment to the Association. It was agreed that additional balls provided in the new agreement would be awarded to the provincial champion in each class and to the host school. Any additional balls would be sold to schools following the event at a cost to be established by the office.

MOTION by Segall/McKellar that we give each school involved in hosting HOOPLA a size 6 & 7 basketball following the event. CARRIED

4.6 Partnership Group Proposal
Partnership Group is a company that specializes in developing and delivering sponsorship opportunities. They approached the Association with a proposal that was presented for executive consideration. Discussion took place regarding whether this is a direction we want to take. Point was made that it is in our best interest to have long-term relationships with satisfied sponsors rather than many small or one-time sponsors. Office was directed to invite a representative of the Partnership Group to attend the January executive meeting, to provide a short presentation and answer questions regarding the proposal.

4.7 Planning Workshop Summary
The June 2005 AGM directed the executive council to appoint a committee to draft a guiding philosophy for provincial championships within the Association. The purpose of this philosophy would be to guide decision-making processes pertaining to the examination of provincial championships in each activity. The guidelines could include goals and objectives for SHSAA championship play (including all post district competitions), as well as guidelines balancing the ideals of representation from the entire province while still addressing the concept of bringing the best teams/athletes to provincial championships. The committee should have a draft prepared to present to the SHSAA District Presidents Meeting in December 2005, allowing districts to make suggestions for changes in time to ratify the philosophy at the SHSAA AGM in June 2006.

To achieve this the executive met November 20th and 21st in Regina using a consultant to work through a planning session aimed at developing guiding principles for playoffs leading to a provincial championship. The executive received a first draft of the report from the facilitator at the meeting. The report was considered incomplete and the executive elected not to share it with the district presidents at the December meeting. The executive will consider revisions and discuss the report further in January and then distribute the report to District presidents for input. The report will then be issued to schools for consideration and possible approval in the form of a resolution to the June 2006 annual meeting.

4.8 Guiding Principles
See above

4.9 Formats for Provincial Play in 2006-2007
The office staff presented two concepts for future playoffs leading to the provincial championships in all activities. One using four conferences for each team activity (football, soccer, volleyball, basketball) whereby the number of schools in a particular activity classification (1A to 5A) would be divided into four equal groups based on proximity but not following established boundaries of the new districts. (i.e. current football conferences). It was important to note that this concept did not call for the establishment of conference leagues, but it was agreed that this might be an outcome that may facilitate regular season interschool competition.

The second concept divided the province into four sections assigning each of the new districts to a section for team sport playoffs. The effect is similar to the present situation in that some sections would have few teams and less than desirable meaningful playoffs leading to the next level of provincial play. However, it was easier to visualize the organization of such a concept given district organizational units.

Agreed to present the concepts during the district president's meeting for reaction. Important to point out that the current plan for the 2006-2007 school year is to adapt present playoff guidelines to fit new districts realizing there are issues with a lack of consistency and effectiveness in some present playoff structures.

MOTION by Segall/Moore to present new concepts and status quo plan for 2006-2007 playoffs to the District Presidents. CARRIED (Section III representative asked it be noted the motion was opposed.)

4.10 Public Relations Project
Angela Tillier made a presentation to the executive council regarding the media department at Luther College willingness to undertake a project to develop an SHSAA promotional video. Vicki Moore, Angela Tillier, Mark Edmonds, Kevin Vollet and Wade Weseen volunteered for a committee that will guide the project and report at the January Executive Meeting.

4.11 SABO proposal - Memorandum of Agreement
SABO presented a proposal to form a written agreement regarding basketball officials at Hoopla. The proposal was distributed, reviewed and each issue discussed. Concern expressed that any agreement must reflect policy in place in the current SHSAA handbook. Each point of the agreement was considered and recommendations were made for inclusion. The office was directed to draft a revised agreement based on the discussion and present it to the leadership of SABO.

MOTION by Tillier/Lissinna to approve changes made to the basketball officials agreement as presented and amended by discussion. CARRIED

Each event was discussed and written reports filed with the minutes. Executive liaisons for fall activities directed to examine the evaluation forms submitted by coaches. Asked to write a report and present any recommendations at the January Executive meeting.

5.2 School enrolment to determine classification
A letter written in response to a school's request to not include some students in the September 30th enrolment declaration was presented for information purposes. The request was that the SHSAA allow the school to not count or list as ineligible a handicapped student. The handicapped student was eligible according to the Bylaws governing participation by students, in that, the student is registered in grade 9- 12, within the eligibility period as defined in the bylaws and has not received enough credits to graduate.

The SHSAA as an organization made up of all high schools in the province agrees that all students regardless of athletic ability or inclination to participate in athletics must be counted in order to determine a school's classification according to population. It is the position of the Association that a school cannot pick and choose the students to count for classification purposes based on a student's ability or inclination to participate. Exceptions are not made based on handicaps, mental or physical.
