CHAIRMAN: |
|
|
ADP sent to EKA. It was incomplete as some clubs failed to respond in time or at all.
I emailed Heather Lymburn at the Bury school, who we've lent equipment to asking for a brief report. I received this reply : 'I am indeed at the same school and we are currently offering Korfball in the curriculum at all years. The year 9's who have 3 PE lessons during the week will do a block of 7 weeks of Korfball. The year 10 and 11 pupils, who opt for an outwitting opponents unit, will cover Korfball for 8 lessons. Those year 10/11 pupils who opt for a mix of outwitting opponents and aesthetic activities, may get offered Korfball depending on the group.
Last year, GCSE Korfball was also offered and the Korfball have about 12 members. The club is currently not running and will start up after half term after some groups have done Korfball in PE which will generate interest.'
These junior players : Robyn Seabright (Vikings) Zoe Symonds (Vikings) Eleanor Johnson (Vikings) Joseph McLeish (Vikings) Ben Hancock (Vikings) Lydia Farrer (City) Agnes Taylor (City) Ben Woodbine (Lions) Laurie Fabian (Tigers) Tom Kim (Tigers) Ellen McHarg (Tigers)
were approved by email to play in the CKL, subject to correct completion of the appropriate forms. Can whichever officers sign the forms on behalf of the CKA, please check the forms are the new style form that explicitly mentions photos and video, that they are complete, and that the date of birth is such that the player is over 13. Ideally each officer signing should be from a different club to the player. |

Accounts attached. |
|
|
FIXTURES: |
|
|
Fixtures seem to be fine. Two games (P3 vs P4 and L1 vs V4) recently moved. |
|
|
RESULTS: |
|
|
All results this season are currently in although I do need to process 10 results which I'll try to do tonight or tomorrow night in time for the meeting. Phoenix SERL scores have not been submitted this season which means they won't have any goalscorers on the CKA pages but that won't affect the CKA league tables in any way, so its entirely up to Phoenix to do this.
(Gary) Some of the Phoenix SERL games have been submitted, but not all. Others will be sent but Phoenix are aware they won't appear unless we submit the results. |

SENIOR DEVELOPMENT (Vacant): |

|
|
|
|
JUNIOR DEVELOPMENT (Vacant): |
|
|
(chair) CKA 'U17' teams played friendlies against 2 Dutch teams. There's a report and photos on the CKA website. Thanks to Adam, Chris and Martin for organising. (fixtures) The CKA friendly vs the Dutch was very successful. Players very positive. Good result and the people who helped/watched felt we should be doing a lot more things like this. Vikings made a slight loss of £18, which Vikings would like CKA could reimburse if there's any junior competitions budget left at the end of the season. |

|
REFEREEING: |
|
|
Level 2 course ran. |

1. DEVELOPMENT PLAN PROGRESS |
|
|
Junior - need to find and appoint junior development officer – all clubs. - organise tournament days with adhoc teams if necessary. Clubs with junior sections to do this in rotation. Vikings hosted a tournament attended by Tigers, City and Milton Road. City or Tigers turn to host next.
- junior development sub-committee
– no meeting since August 2009.
- organise Cambridgeshire junior
teams – entered junior inter-area teams : U9, 3 off U11 and
U14
Senior - need to find and appoint senior development officer – all clubs.
- actively work to create new
clubs – Finding hall time and volunteers to help start this
is an issue. Starting a club is difficult so it's vital that clubs
don't fold. Lions could do with help with recruitment. Please can
all clubs help out with this. Some suggestions : * recruitment by word of mouth is successful – every member of every club please see if you know of anyone, perhaps who you work with, who lives in the Ely/Littleport area who might be interested in taking up korfball with Lions.
* consider recruiting from a wider
area, perhaps north of Littleport and Ely. - refereeing theory tests, assessment and courses – level 2 course ran. Need to ensure there's plenty of referees to free up existing volunteers to do other more critical development activites, so need more theory tests and assessments. |

2 COMPETITION FOR LOWER LEVEL TEAMS |
|
|
Phoenix would like to a competition t give more matches to players in lower teams. Vikings would be interested if the matches finish before 8 pm. Weekend matches are preferred. Uni would be interested, but matches need to be during term time. City and Tigers need to consult to determine interest. Lions not present, but need their view. |

3 NEW IKF KORFBALL |
|
|
The IKF announced a new ball on the 28th September 2010 (http://www.ikf.org/official-news/160/1570-international-korfball-federation-and-mikasa-introduce-new-korfball) The EKA's policy is : 'clubs are not able to use the NEW IKF Ball this season, because it wasn't approved by the IKF ball before the 1st September 2010. The EKA Exco will review this decision for the 2011/12 season.' ' This statement applies to all EK Competitions (HSKL, CT, HNC, IA, EKA Cup), but currently we have no control over regional and local leagues.'
The ball will not be allowed in the 2010/11 CKL.
The CKA are not in favour of the ball being allowed in the 2010/11 SERL. |

|
4 SERL 2 REFEREEING FEE AND QUALIFICATION |
|
|
At present there's no refereeing fee or minimum qualification specified for SERL Division 2. It's envisaged that referees will come from neutral teams at a triangular fixture or from the home area. The position at present is that the team or home area decide what to pay the referee. For the CKA referees the CKL refereeing fee (£7.50) and requirements (CKA approved) would seem to be a sensible starting point.
The CKA recommends that SERL CKA referees should be at least level Q.
The CKA agreed that the SERL Division 2 CKA refereeing fee is a £10 flat rate. Next season the CKA will look to match the SERL Division 1 refereeing fees for SERL Division 2. |
|
|
NEXT MEETING |
|
|
January, date, time and venue TBD. |
|
|
AOB: |
|
|
It's requested that referee's fees be paid in cash rather than by cheque. |
