Team Reps and Head Coaches,

Congratulations to all of you on a successful start to the season! We are hearing great things about your teams and are enjoying your posts on social media.

Coaches Training Certificates

Coaches Training Certificates were due June 1. 

Unless there are extenuating circumstances, we are not accepting additional certificates. 

Also, if your team or coaches have been contacted regarding issues with your submissions, please be sure to correct any deficiencies IMMEDIATELY. Please note that your team can be required to forfeit if any of your coaches have not completed the training.

Questions: please contact Sherren Chadwell at [email protected].

Insurance Certificates

Insurance Certificates are due TOMORROW …June 15. Please upload your certificates to the google drive link: https://forms.gle/vDoxFSxt2peVXe4S7

We have a number of teams who have not yet submitted the certificate. Please look at the list on the GKAISA website to be sure that your certificate is current. Also, please note that if your insurance expires before the end of the City Championship (July 22), then you must submit and updated certificate as soon as you receive it.

Questions: please email Sherren Chadwell at [email protected]

Certified Officials

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. There is also a list of officials willing to work any meet. If your team is in need of an official for a meet, please feel free to contact someone on that list.

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.
