A Part 1 Level 2 coaching course was held on 03/12/05. It was very successful, 3 from City, 3 Tigers, 1 Phoenix and 2 Lions attended. Graham Box is happy to come to Cambridge regularly to continue these coaching courses.

AOB:

Lions/Tigers National League Participation – Alex Beavan informed everyone about a conversation he had had with Anna Jeanes (BKA Competitions Officer) about the procedure for entering Nat. League.

- Clubs apply to the BKA individually by 31^st Jan.

- BKA then ask CKA to confirm clubs are of a standard to compete and that they have development structure in place

- Thy arrange playoff’s if necessary (may be 3 way)

The development structure needs to be in place however you don’t need to report points until March 2007 (1 years grace)

Phoenix and City to be aware that they will need to work on development points for composite team, but they will still have support of CKA.

CKA decision was unanimous for Lions and Tigers to apply and as long as no major changes before the end of January they would have the support of the CKA.

It was also clarified that there would be no penalty against nat. league players playing in the local league.

Players playing in too many teams – Andy wanted it noted thatcertain Lions/Tigers players were still playing for too many teams. Same names as last month. Alex Bevan to talk to Tigers captains and look at renaming squads. Lee to rename Lions squad list ASAP.

Junior consent forms – Alex wanted to check if there could be a 2 week grace on getting the Child Protection forms signed. It was decided that these are in place to protect the child so they need to be signed before a child plays. Lee said if Alex got the 3 Tigers and Parents signatures, he was happy to go over to Tigers and sign them as CKA coaching officer.

It was also mentioned that forms need to be taken to all matches and refs can ask to see them before the start of a game.
