2010 Waivers and annual team status report
February 5, 2010
The USOA year began January 1st. The Society year is January 1 to December 31 for membership, committee appointments and membership dues.
The Status Report is required annually to maintain club active status in USOA. Voting, representation, participation, bidding and hosting are all dependent on current Status filing. The Status Report should be filed by the March annual meeting, and only those filing can vote at the meeting.
The Status Report also allows your official appointment(s) to the Underwater Hockey Committee. Please appoint your committee representative(s) who will be considered your official voting reps to the committee. Once appointed for the year reps can only be changed in writing.
Please fill out the Membership Roster form with members’ complete address (including zip code). Membership dues for each calendar year are as follows:
- USOA dues are $15 for the year. USOA Family memberships are $15 for the first member and $5 for each additional member at the same address. (To indicate family memberships, write the member’s name on a line indicating $15 in the USOA column; for each additional member in the same household, indicate $5. )
- Underwater Hockey Development Fund dues are $10 per member.
- Northern Calif also pays CenCal dues of $15 per member (CenCal does not offer family rates).
Waivers
- USOA waivers must be signed each calendar year by all members, and ALL FIELDS MUST BE FILLED OUT- address, phone number, email, etc.
- Clubs using USOA insurance must have all of their players sign a waiver whether they are USOA members or not.
- It is strongly suggested that all teams have players sign waivers to alleviate potential liability.
- It is suggested that waivers be signed by new players/drop-ins by the second time of play.
- USOA dues and waivers are required for anyone participating in a USOA sanctioned tournament.
- 3-part, hard copy forms are available from Carol Rose (croseusoa@aol.com). Forms are also available for download from the USA Underwater Hockey site at www.usauwh.com.
