Forestville U16G Penalised Points

Rules are rules - going back to it only makes it more painful. Learn from your setbacks and look towards next season.

Feel free to copy but edit my terrible fat finger mistakes and grammer first.

Move on everyone. Its Summer.

BSA fix your system so you get a warning when someone plays that is not registered. That means using the electronic scoring that you said you were implementing in your own strategic plan.

Clubs. Explain to all parents so you capture those who do not know that kids need a clearance that they must present a eatance before first game and direct them to the BSA policy and process.

Parents. Stop blaming everyone else and read and ask questions. Everyone is happy to find out about process for a car loan and read paperwork and buy a house, book a holiday and so on. Do the same for things that concern your kids. That is how everyone who has moved their kids have learnt. No one told us. We asked and read. Be accountable.

Players. Know that through your life adults will let you down. Grow to be a better adult than those that let you down. You now have the benefit of knowing that if you don't do your job or role in life, parent, employee or employer that apathy and failure to continuously improve will lead to letting others down. Don’t be that person who does that to others. You are not the only player this has happened to.

Everyone. The reason a clearance would not be processed is it wasn’t submitted or all parties did ot get a copy. So everyine CC in club administrators of both clubs and the club secretary and add in the club manager and head coach (basketball operations manager is the latest title for them). The secretary and admin or office manager are nearly always two different people. Make sure you are paid up at the club you are leaving as that will prevent the clearance. State in your request you are paid up and expect anclearance within 10 working days as per the policy. Let everyine know you have read the policy and you know your rights. Your clearance happens when you have received a response confirming clearance and the name is on the clubs clearance lists. Only 1 club blocks their clearance list so almost everyone can check it.

Now for Winter. Everyone who has moved recently check your clearance status. You have a few weeks to fix between seasons and don’t let Junior Championships be lost because you have not checked. Clearance status is found under Club on the fixtures aite.

Mavs have lost that many players and their reputation is in the toilet. Poor form for a D2 transfer. From all accounts the family didn't owe $ to the club. Very sad for this young girl

If the player has been cleared, Forestville would have the paperwork and can provide it to BSA as proof.

Not sure that those people would know whether a player has been cleared or not? I am sure most people assume that a clearance has been given if the player is playing for a new club.

I am sympathetic to the affect this has on players involved in the 16 G2 team as they may have lost the ability to contest the summer season GF (if they were placed 1st or 2nd) due to administrative oversight.
However, this is a direct result of Forestville not adhering to the bylaws that are put in place so clubs do not play ineligible players. There is no way that blame can be directed at anyone else.

Clearances can take time for a number of reason. Always interesting when this happens. Be thankful it's sorted in summer...imagine if it had gone through winter as well.

oh boo hoo hoo. go complain to the administrators tbat were incompetent.
