Rostrevor College (Chair from 12/11/2019)

The role of Executive Officer was vacant for an

extended period until the appointment of myself, at

the end of March 2019.

This new position was certainly challenging initially. As

the position was vacant for an extended period, the

general operational upkeep and management of the

organisation had been neglected.

Many thanks go to Jordan Young, David Serotzki,

Chris Martin, Paul Brown, Jason Cosgrove and the

other co-ordinators from the member schools who

continued to help SAAS through this period. I would

also like to extend my gratitude for the guidance

and assistance with the transition period these co-

ordinators provided.

It was certainly a case of hitting the ground running with

the creation of the large winter programs, whilst learning

how the sports management program worked, fine

tuning the skills required in creating draws, and general

networking that is required in the position.

The guidance provided by the former SAAS Executive

Officer Jill George, the SAAS Chair Nick Hately and Vice

Chair John Foley, were greatly appreciated in guiding

me through the requirements of running the SAAS

organisation.

The Sports Association fielded over 1400 teams in the

Primary and Secondary competitions across the

winter and summer seasons in 2019.

Through the new Executive Officer position, the

Association Competitions were reviewed. One of the

first sports to be revamped was the 1st XI Soccer

competition. The SAAS competition was merged with

the Twilight Soccer League to create a 18 team SAAS

member school competition that played mid-week.

Matches were held at the best soccer facilities

available with a new competition structure and

Football Federation appointed referees. This concept

proved to be successful with the two Divisions show

casing the talents in the school soccer system. The

Division 1 Grand Final between Christian Brothers and

Rostrevor was the perfect example of quality soccer

and how good our school competitions are; the high

standard impressed many external on lookers.

The SAAS Open A1 Basketball competition was a

genuine tussle between a number of schools. There

were 5 teams all competing for the opportunity to make

the Grand Final with only a small margin of points

separating teams during the qualify games. The

Basketball was the most competitive of the SAAS top

tier competitions. The quality of players on display was

an exciting competition to watch.

The Term 4 Summer Cricket T-20 competition was

also reformatted with the creation of Division 1 and

Division 2 leagues. With colour kits and pink balls

introduced to forge this cricket format; the games

received much positive praise from the SAAS member

school who participated. The Grand Final between

winners Pembroke and Adelaide High School was

another show case of the talents in our school

competitions. A great crowd gathered to watch the

game with the result a tight finish — perfect for a

Grand Final.

This year also saw the introduction of Most Valuable

Player Awards and Team of the Year in the Open A1-

A2 Basketball and 1st XI Div 1-Div 2 Soccer. These

awards were presented in conjunction with the Gosse

Medal Night. These additions further recognise the

performances of our top sporting performers in a

variety of sports.

Sub committees were formed at the end of the year

to begin reviewing the association and the sports it

offers, the rules and competition formats. These

positive moves will continue to help the association

grow and improve the sporting experience on offer to

our member schools.

There are many people behind the scenes who help the

association operate and work for our member schools –

Jon Harmer, with his assistance in the sport of Water

Polo, David De Lacy and Andrew Stace who assisted with

Hockey, Colin Steinert who oversaw the SAAS AFL

umpire panel and guidance with the AFL competition,

and Rupert Sapwell with his expertise in Basketball.

At the 2019 AGM, SAAS Chair, Nick Hately completed his

time in the Chair role and stepped down. At this time

we welcomed Brian Schumacher into the role of SAAS

Chair. Nick steered the SAAS organisation through a

challenging period and on behalf of the Sports

Association of Adelaide Schools we would like to thank

him for his help and leadership of the organisation.

Moving forward the association will continue to work with

the Sporting Sub-committees to grow and improve the

Association.

The Full Audited Financial Report can be obtained by contacting the SAAS office directly.

As in 2018, the organisation charged a nomination fee per student that participates in each sport. This fee increased from

$10 per student in 2017, to $11 in 2018 which remained at $11 for the 2019 Financial Year. This fee covers the wages

expense and overheads. All other cost incurred for various events or programs are charged back to schools as per

participation. Costs such as the venue hire, referee expenses and equipment for the 1st XI Soccer, 1st XVIII AFL, Drive

Tennis, Open A Badminton and Water polo competitions are all charged back to the participating schools.

The increase in the Accumulated Funds from 2018 to 2019, can be attributed to the reduction in employee wages paid

during 2019 and increase in the revenue from the nomination fees received. With the Executive Officer role vacant for the

first portion of the year, no wages expenses were incurred until March 2019.

The nomination fees are charged to schools in two installments – Term 1/4 and Term 2/3. Back charges are then managed

when all the expenses have been finalized. As a result, the Organisation needs to have a reasonable funds balance to

enable the organization to operate for 6 months without income.
