Junior Committee Madness

Theres an old saying that rings true.
"You get the government you deserve."
In this case you have BASA.
You vote in your clubs elections, you choose your committee members, they choose their sub committees, they choose their delegates.
If they opt not to go to meetings or vote in a way that offends you, that is your fault. You gave them the power.
You need to be careful when you vote for your committee, dont just vote for the person that was the greatest player or has the loudest voice, look to their motives. Are they truly interested in the game/club/association, or are they only little wally's who couldn't get a job as the boss so they try to exert authority elsewhere.
If you didn't go to your clubs AGM, then you dont even have the right to complain, let alone expect someone to act on your behalf! The club where I am involved has to count the members present to make sure theres enough for a legal meeting.
The decision is made, live with it!

Fair comments, but basketball is out of step with all other sports available to the kids today.

The problem to me is still the age factor. For the life of me I cannot see why it is so hard to fix this problem.

For example: Little johnny turns 9 in December. He should be eligble to play U/10 for the whole of summer season(2005/06) and the whole of the winter season (2006), since the winter season is well and truly over by October as it is he is still 9 yrs old. He should not be force to play U/12 as it stands now.

After the winter season (2006) he then would turn 10 in December and will have to go up to U/12.

Since the seasons are split in two Summer and Winter this should work.

Most other sports go from U8, U9, U10, U11, U12 etc. Basketball goes in 2 years cycles U10, U12, U14 etc.

This is why we are losing kids to other sports.

There seems to be a lot of negativity to this decision. Could somebody who was in agreeance with new proposal pls explain why and similarly, could somebody tell why it never worked before, instead of comments in general.
Like many others, I am not aware of reasons for changing many years ago.

for our junior competition, wouldn't it be sensible to run the season to correspond with school. Ie. Two seasons summer and winter. Eliminate the 'silly' season.

Both summer and winter run for 20 rounds including finals. (4 terms of 10 weeks each.)

Term 4 and 1 summer season, terms 2 and 3 the winter season.

Is this how they voted for or against last night?
