NA-1
PURSUING VICTORY WITH HONOR……GRANITE
HILLS
NA-2
CROSS COUNTRY COMMITTEE REPORT…..requesting
that Divisions be based on CBEDs.
NA-3 VOLLEYBALL
ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT….
1) Requesting a standard
warm-up for all leagues, pre-season and play- off matches. After the
Captain’s coin toss:
a)
6 minutes of shared ball handling
b)
Home team takes court first, 6
minutes alone including serving
c)
Visiting team gets 6 minutes alone
Introductions, national anthem…….start game…
NA-4
NA-5 “FIRST
DAY” TO START LANGUAGE FOR SEASON OF SPORT….Mark
Wyatt’s Committee had a lengthy meeting a basically determined we should
stay with the “first day” to start language for season of sport.
NA-6
PENALTIES FOR WRESTLERS WHO ATTEMPT TO CIRCUMVENT WEIGH IN
PROCEDURE…. The following were presented…..
A) If an athlete “attempts” to circumvent the weigh-in procedure in any form, and is caught prior to assessment, he/she will not be allowed to be assessed until the following date______________.
B) If an athlete is caught circumventing the rules regarding the weigh-in procedure, that athlete will be ineligible for 365 days from the date of the infraction.
NA-7
GOLF ADVISORY COMMITTEE REPORT…The following were presented……
1.
Stoke play should be based on Par 72.
a. We play qualifying rounds on golf courses that are all not par 72’s.
b. To equal out qualifying scores throughout the valley we need to adjust scores to par 72.
Ex. Courses with
a Par 70= Players need to add 2 to their score.
(
Courses with Par 73= Players need to subtract 1 from their score. (Girls Par at Arvin)
2.
Boy’s league and area qualifying tournaments should all
be played from the Blue
2a. Course that have tees further than the Blue tees, the area
commissioner will determine which tees will be used for the tournament.
Ex. Dinuba and
Issue:
In the past some of these tournaments have been played from the white tees. Since we cannot play on courses with the same distance and slope, the golf advisory feels we should attempt to keep the qualifying tournaments as close to the same as possible.
3.
Lowering the qualifying scores to the Area and Valley
tournaments: Boys 85; Girls 100
Boys score goes from 90 to 85
Girls go from 105 to 100
Improve the quality of golf.
Girls in the mid 90’s and low 100 are not competitive with the field, the play has greatly improved from the past (1st year girls were in the 200’s), this year in the valley tournament one of the girls shot 82 and did not qualify for the southern sectional.
Boys have had no score over 76 the last four years qualify for the sectional.
We need to help out the golf courses who have been willing to accommodate us in the past by less pressure of golfers.
This should improve the pace of play giving the players that actually have a chance to qualify a reasonable round of golf.
NA-8
WATER POLO ADVISORY COMMITTEE REQUESTS…
The Water Polo Committee proposes the following be added to the January 27, 2010 Section meeting agenda:
1. Section 5.1.1 - Edit the section to read "Section finals and Semi-Finals shall be limited to....".
The committee feels the language should emphasize approved pools. The finals and semi-finals are important games and the venue should be appropriate.
2. Delete Lemoore from the list of approved pools.
The committee also feels that despite the "higher seed" language, certain pools should not be used for any playoff. At the present time, the League Commissioners have the discretion to move playoff games from pools that definitely hinder play, pose a hazard to players or cannot be officiated adequately.
3. The committee supports the following revisions to divisional realignment in water polo.
A. DIVISION I GIRLS DIVISION I BOYS

4. The committee requests that playoffs be scheduled so that all championships end on the same day.
5. The committee proposes that Commissioners consolidate genders for the Championships; Girls at one site, Boys at one site.
The Committee feels that this puts top officials at the same site. In addition this gives other players, coaches, and parents the opportunity to see final games in all 3 Divisions.
Under the present rule, the site (at an approved pool) goes to the higher seeded team.
6. Modify the two week format to: Tuesday/Wednesday first round - Saturday quarter finals Tuesday/Wednesday semifinals - Saturday Championship
Splitting boys and girls mid-week is best for officials. Saturday allows for more games and ability of officials to work multiple sites or games.
7. The Committee recommends defeat of the 26 contact proposal.
8. The Committee recommends that Section Water Polo continues to be a Championship.
NA-9
PENALTY FOR NOT PAYING PLAY-OFFS FEES ON TIME….. Recommended
the following
Pay
with in the first 30 days----NO PENALTY
Pay after 30 days and before 45 days---A 5% fine from the host school’s
profit
Pay after the first 45 days--- A 10% fine from the host school’s
profit
NA-10
CONCUSSIONS
There
is a proposal coming from the State CIF Medical Committee that will not
allow an athlete who is suspected of having a concussion to be allowed to
play or practice until he has been cleared by a doctor.
