2011 MOA CLINIC

MAJOR POSITIVE CHANGES FOR OFFICIALS IN 2011

At the Touch Football Ontario (TFO) Annual General Meeting this year, we agreed to go back to the GRASS ROOTS of OUR GAME.  All TFO member officials will have their local associations certifications registered at the TFO office.  Associations will implement the use of exams, clinics and on-field evaluations of their officials.

As many of you know, Mississauga Officials Association (MOA) has used these tools since the program was introduced in the mid-eighties.  MOA will re-introduce the continuous improvement program of on-field evaluations of officials.  This program is to be used by all TFO associations in 2011.  Our objective is to continue to have our senior officials mentor our newer members as they move up the certification levels.

I believe that these changes were long overdue.  MOA does have an advantage since most of you have been part of the certification program since the beginning.  Looking forward to a most enjoyable, productive and rewarding 2011 season.

More details about the clinic to come, in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks,
George Zielinski

    Map: Mississauga Valleys Community Centre

    Registration begins at 10:30am, and the Meeting will start at 11:00am sharp!

    All returning teams, as well as all new team applicants, are asked to have two representatives at this meeting.  These two representatives should be a team captain/assistant captain and a non-captain/assitant captain, preferably someone who has never attended an MTFL AGM.  In having two representatives from your team attend, we hope to meet as many people face-to-face and encourage effective communication between the Executive Committee and our Membership.

    We encourage all team captains to hold a team meeting as soon as possible to review your team's roster needs well in advance of this meeting.  Each year, several teams and/or players move to other locations and the League wishes to finalize League size and Divisional Alignment details as quickly as possible.  It would be greatly appreciated that you inform the League as soon as possible if either of the following apply:
    1. Your team is no longer interested in being a member of MTFL
    2. Your team has (or will have) significant roster changes that suggest a Division different than the one you played in last year, may need to be considered
    Please also ensure that you are discussing with your players well in advance of the AGM, the finances of submitting your Annual League Fee on time.

    For returning teams, the 2011 Annual League Fee is $1300*.  This payment is due no later than Saturday, March 26, 2011 by cheque or money order (no post-dated cheques).  Teams choosing to submit payment after Saturday, March 26th, 2011, are required to pay $1500* and have until Saturday, April 1st, 2011 to do so.  Failure to submit full payment by Saturday, April 1st, 2011 will result in your team not participating in the 2011 season.
    * plus $200 Performance Bond (if applicable), other related costs not included

    New team applicants, your payment via certified cheque of $1500 is due at the 2011 AGM, on Saturday, March 26th, 2011.  This amount includes the 2011 Annual League Fee of $1300 plus the $200 Performance Bond.

    See you all at the 2011 AGM!

    Thanks,

    John Schiebel
    League President & Registrar
