            Assistance from FSSA board of directors and member leagues in reaching your league’s goals

The FSSA meets twice a year.  The Annual General Meeting is held in August or September and the mid-year meeting is held in January.  League representatives and board members attend these meetings to discuss activities taking place within the organization and to plan future activities.

New leagues have the opportunity to attend one of the two annual meetings listed above to present their league for affiliation. 

New league responsibilities include ensuring they have a state certified referee assignor.  For a list of currently certified assignors go to www.fsr-inc.com.  New leagues are also responsible for holding a referee clinic within the first few months of provisional membership to help grow the referee base in their area.  The clinic must have a minimum of 15 participants ages 18 or older.  For more information click here.
