Team Reps and Head Coaches,

We hope your seasons are off to a great start! Here are our weekly reminders as we start of the season:

If you have a coach who has not completed training, please be advised that they will be required to pay a late fee of $25. Any coach not completing training by June 7 will not be allowed on deck at the City Championship Meet.

Certified Officials Training

Our Certified Officials training schedule has been uploaded to the GKAISA website. Please note that we will continue to update this as additional training sessions are scheduled. Please encourage your parents to attend the training sessions to get certified. We cannot run meets without qualified officials.

Also, please note that the most recent list of certified officials is posted on the website. Again, we will update this as additional officials are certified.

City Meet Sponsorships

As you are aware, we are making a concerted effort to increase the number of sponsors for City Meet. Every dollar raised in sponsorship money goes directly to the reduction of the cost of hosting City Meet. Our hope is that an increase in sponsorship dollars will result in decreased costs for your teams.

Please share the information with your families and with businesses that may be interested in sponsoring City Meet. Leagues 1 and 2 should target ten (10) new advertisers, Leagues 3 and 4 should target six (6) and Leagues 5 and 6 should target (2). The GKAISA Board will target five (5) high-level sponsors. Together, we can drive down the growing cost of City Meet to ensure more swimmers have access to this great event.
