Chinook’s Edge Athletic Association (CEAA):

Mission Statement – The Chinook’s Edge Athletic Association is a body of Athletic Directors comprised of representatives from the Middle/ Junior, and High schools within Chinook’s Edge School Division. The CEAA’s primary mandate is to enhance the quality of divisional extra-curricular athletics, promote inter-divisional athletic competition, and to be an advocate for the membership schools by reviewing all concerns and issues affecting extra-curricular athletics within the division.

Items of Discussion

  1. Discussion on the tournament protocol. Should Richard be ordering all the plaques for all the tournaments. We have had a couple of tournaments that have changed the plaque orders. Having the hosts order plaques for their tournaments. Forward the logo to the tournament organizers to make their own plaques. Reduces the possibility for plaques being made and no game occurring. Also, organizers have the flexibility to change their own tournament.
  2. Is there a need for JV tournaments for Volleyball and Basketball. They are always looking for tournaments but there are none in our budgets. Should we eliminate some other tournaments that are not well attended. Running into the difficulties of living in 2 separate zones, and how we deal with the grade 9’s. Can we make this work? Is there room in the budget to add a JV tournament?
  3. Olds High School has to step down from hosting the Jr. Boys and Girls basketball this year. Major repairs to their gymnasium does not allow them to host.
  4. Challenge Games
  5. Make the host very clear. Put on the website and the tournament sheet that goes out to the Athletic Directors
  6. Confirmed date – put it on the schedule and the web site.
  7. Provincials a week later - game time is good.
