TAX RECEIPTS
All tax receipts are emailed out in January. Please note that the only amounts that can be claimed on your tax return are those of the registration fee, academy payments (if any) and payments for a CWSC membership (community memberships may apply in a few cases - refer to CRA's website at http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/fitness/for more information).
CMSA ID# and Photo IDs
All players U12 to U18 require a valid CMSA Photo ID card (with a valid expiry date on it). The referee may ask that these cards be handed in individually to the referee at the start of the game. If a player does not have their player card, that player will not be allowed to participate in the game.
If you require your ID # to book an appointment, please e-mail. Appointments are booked through www.calgaryminorsoccer.com.
Information about CMSA Photo ID Cards:
At least one Team Official for U10 to U18 teams requires a valid CMSA Photo ID but it is encouraged that each team official on the roster have a CMSA ID card.
All registered U10 players playing-up on a U12 team in a league game require a registered movement pass, signed by one of their team officials or Club Board of Directors. This pass is to be given to the team the player is playing-up with. The pass, along with the game sheet is to be submitted to the Referee.
All Player Photo ID cards are valid for 4 years from the date of issue. All team official Photo ID cards are valid for 3 years. Upon expiry, Cards will be revalidated and re-issued at no cost to the Player / Team Official, should they still require a valid CMSA Photo ID card and as long as the old card is handed in at the time of revalidation.
If a coach cannot make a game for any reason, they may give their team official card to a responsible adult for presentation to the referee if no other team officials will be present at the game. In the event that none of the Team Officials for a specific team show up to a game with a valid ID card, one Team Official will be allowed to remain on the bench (and a bench Parent if required) and the game will be played. The Referee will note that no cards were presented on the game sheet.
The ID cards are property of CMSA and must be given back to the Member at the end of each season or when requested by CMSA. The cost for the card is $10 (cash) unless turning in an old or expired card, which then the card will be free.
Any player found using more than one-(1), player ID card shall be suspended from all soccer activity until a CMSA Discipline hearing is held.
ZERO TOLERANCE FOR REFEREE ABUSE
Parents, please be aware that the CMSA Zero Tolerance Policy to control referee abuse is still in place. To see the Zero Tolerance Policy, click here.
CWSC is supporting the CMSA Zero Tolerance Policy in four ways:
1. Creating a Field Marshall (Referee Liaison) Volunteer Role who is responsible for attending games and submitting a Referee Liaison Report - flagging any concerning behaviour of coaches and/or parents. See Referee Liaison Role description - click here.
2. Any team that has a Referee Liaison Report submitted for concerning behaviour will NOT have a referee assigned to the their NEXT home game. There will be no warning and no exceptions. Coaches and Parents will receive Coach and Parent Information Packages at the beginning of the season which give prior warning. Once the season has started no further warnings will be given.
3. Supporting the CMSA Field Marshall Program. CWSC Referee Liaison Parents will be the designated Field Marshall who must be noted on the game sheet, introduce themselves to the referee at the beginning of the game, and wear the CWSC Referee Liaison armband. See a summary of the CMSA Field Marshall Program - page 20-21 of the CMSA Administrative Rules. Note: Teams that do not provide a Field Marshall/Referee Liaison will be penalized by CMSA.
4. Recruiting parents to referee games with ASA or ICHL referee training - let's hope parents and coaches will maintain respect for fellow parents!
