• MARK WILSON BURSARY

In the memory of our late former president, Mark Wilson, the SDSRAI is again offering a $1000 bursary for referees enrolled in post-secondary education.

The bursary is available to any registered members of the SDSRAI, who are in good standing with the association and demonstrate commitment to refereeing in Saskatoon. Applicants must be registered into a recognized post-secondary education program at SIAST, University of Saskatchewan, or possibly other accredited institutions. This bursary is open to students in any year of their program.

Applications should include a detailed summary of your refereeing career so far, proof of enrollment in a post-secondary educational institution, and any other information that you feel is relevant.

• REMINDERS

 All SASI indoor games now adopt the Swipe Card system. Players with no Swipe Card do NOT play. Cards that do not swipe correctly must be recorded on the sheet which can be obtained from the Admission Office.

 Please note Swipe Cards will NOT be adopted for the outdoor season.

 All referees should now have received their Saskatchewan / CSA badge from SSA. Please ensure that badges are worn at all times when officiating.

All referees must enforce the NO jewellery law. All visible jewellery MUST be removed ( no taping is allowed), along with wrist bands, bandana's, hair clips, necklaces etc. The only exceptions are smooth wedding bands, and Medic Alert bracelets with the bracelet part taped. Non compliance means that player does NOT play. Please note this applies to Referees as well.
