President's Address
by Ron Smale
The Association can look back on last year having delivered on our promise to make 2012 a
year of communication, consultation, collaboration and education in our work with and on
behalf of our membership. Regular communication updates from our Chief Technical Officer
and myself every two to three weeks aimed to ensure that our Clubs, Districts, Leagues,
coaches, referees and parents were kept informed of ongoing progress around various key
initiatives, including the revised player pathway, League structure, Long-Term Player
Development and Coach certification improvements. In the late fall of 2012, senior staff and I
conducted an 11-city “road show”—a major outreach touching every corner of the province. We
continue to respond daily to questions and comments from parents, coaches and Clubs about
player development implementation.
Our Board of Directors was very active throughout 2012, supporting major initiatives regarding
our relationship with Academies, our Strategic Plan, Governance and Committee structure and
also support for modifications to our player pathway and League structure.
2012 was very much about ensuring that every decision made put the youth player first and
foremost. In the same breath, our focus was on making sure that our coaches are being
offered the very best development opportunities possible through greatly improved training ,
education and development programs and an enhanced coach certification process . The
recently concluded (March, 2013) Annual Coaches’ Conference was attended by close to 500
coaches and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
Going forward, it is essential that everyone see, understand and embrace where they “fit” in the
pathway as they grow in the game. We must all work together better and more closely than in
the past, and to help achieve that, the Association must continue to lead the process of change
with an eye toward ensuring we are all working together hand in hand—unified. It’s always
about people and enhancing our partnerships and relationships while building a stronger
foundation within our communities.
Grassroots participation in our great game continues to be the backbone of the OSA . Staff
worked diligently to spread that message in 2012 but we, as an Association, must be
responsive to the needs of our Clubs and players who are in the game for fun, fitness, activity
and who truly want to enjoy the “Soccer for Life” experience—one of the pillars of our new,
unified player pathway.
“
The Association is striving to listen” more than it has in the past. But we still aren’t where we
should be. We recognize that the OSA needs to do an even better job when it comes to serving
you, our customers.
On that note, however, there was more outreach than ever before from the OSA in 2012—by
the Board, our committed and passionate staff, our soccer leaders and also by our countless
volunteers who are so crucial in the delivery of the game to all of our stakeholders . The “face”
Page 8 of 116
of the OSA is truly changing. Our provincial colleagues are watching—and following our lead.
Our most important work is ahead of us. Let’s look ahead—and push forward. Everyone can
make a significant contribution to our ongoing success.
I want to extend a sincere “ thank you” to every individual who made 2012 an eventful and
successful year. I personally was able to visit over 100 Ontario soccer communities in 2012
and I saw first-hand the passion—as well as the resolve—from true “soccer people” to do
everything in their power to make the soccer experience better than it ever has been for
youngsters in every corner of the province. That passion—and individual determination—will
stand us in good stead as we move forward together in 2013 and beyond.
This 2013 AGM launches the next phase in our vision for soccer in Ontario. It will be a
challenging but exciting journey for all of us. The status quo is not an option. We must keep
pushing the bar ever higher in order to benefit the individuals who deserve our best—the
young boys and girls in our Club system.

Secretary's Report
by Dan Tomlinson
First, I would like to thank the passionate and dedicated volunteers (at all levels), the District
Administrators, The OSA Staff and the Board for their efforts in making soccer the sport of
choice in Ontario.
The last year has been like many other years; busy, interesting and challenging for the Board of
Directors and the Membership. The Board has
1.
developed and approved The Association’s first Strategic and Operational Plans ,
2.
implemented a new Committee structure,
3.
demonstrated its continued support and belief in the Long Term Player Development
philosophy, and
4.
caused the first, effective self-assessment of its internal operations.
Execution of the two Plans should ensure the sustainability of The OSA, its financial health, a
demonstrated appreciation of its Members and a superior recreational or competitive
development path for its players, coaches and referees.
A successful implementation of the new committee structure will result in Committees that
effectively assist the Board in achieving completion of the priorities of The OSA Strategic Plan
and that effectively assist the Board in performing its (other) governance responsibilities.
I would like to express my gratitude to Gerry Jennings and Cathy Watt for their assistance
during this hectic year.
In closing, I would like to thank the Membership for permitting me to be the Association’s
Secretary during these last two years.
Yours in soccer

The last twelve months have evolved some significant change in the Ontario soccer landscape .
During the past year, The Ontario Soccer Association embarked on one of its most extensive
consultation journeys across eleven locations in the province to support its phased -in approach
to Long Term Player Development (LTPD). The support of the Ontario soccer community for the
adoption of the Recreational and Development Matrices , the approval for the Soccer For Life
Leagues introduction in 2014 and the continued planning advancement for both the future
Ontario Player Development League (OPDL) and League 1 (Semi-Professional Soccer) were
progressive steps achieved in the technical area . Additionally and following the introduction of
new Community coaching courses and changes to the OSA License courses, there was a
resulting increase for coaching courses at all levels in 2012.
Considerable progress was also achieved in recognizing OSA Non-Club Academies (‘ORNCA’)
within the OSA membership. Following approval by the Board of Directors in September 2012,
a total of six entitlements were made available to Non-Club Academies which successfully
obtained the ORNCA designation. To date, fourteen (14) Non-Club Academies have been
granted the ORNCA designation.
With the City of Ottawa having secured the privilege of being one of six Canadian host cities for
the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup Championships, preliminary preparations have begun to
inspire a generation of young Ontario soccer enthusiasts to achieve their dreams and develop a
province-wide legacy for player, coach and referee program advancements following the World
Cup. Similarly, discussions were undertaken with the Toronto 2015 Pan Am / Parapan Am
Game to contribute towards the successful delivery of a passionate Ontario soccer volunteer
base to the administration of the soccer program of the Games . On a municipal level, the City
of Thunder Bay was selected to host the 2013 Canadian Soccer Association Girls All Stars
National Championships.
This 2012 Annual Report provides an overall summary of OSA endeavours undertaken by its
District Associations, Clubs, Leagues, Committees and Staff to help advance the beautiful game
within the province. We are committed to building together on this positive momentum in
2013.
Yours in Soccer,

Charonne Thomasos
Where have we been and where are we going? In 2011 we focused on process review, rule
review and staff support. In 2012 we capitalized on all three, in an effort to streamline the
Appeal process, clean up some Rules and to utilize staff support more effectively. The net
result has proven itself to be successful, however, we must now turn our focus to Education.
Once again, Charonne Thomasos has provided significant staff support to this Committee and
to the Appeal process and we thank her for her tireless efforts. Bruce Henderson has provided
abundant wisdom and guidance, and hands on support in the facilitation of recent, significant
rule and definition changes. Thanks Bruce.
In 2012 we received a total of 38 appeals. Of these, we conducted 10 in person Hearings, 16
documentary review Hearings, 9 were ruled “out of order” and 3 Appeals were withdrawn. It
should be noted that 10 of these appeals, which were all held in person, related to a
competitive league rule which was in contradiction to an OSA published rule. This committee
will continue to monitor all leagues to ensure that there is a consistent application and
adherence to OSA Rules. There is still an ongoing concern with 9 cases being ruled out of
order, that Appeals are being made because the Appellant was not happy with their respective
decisions. Further education plans at the District and League level should help to avert some of
these concerns.
The Appeals process has undergone some significant and important changes in 2012. The
roles of Case Manager and Case Administrator have been clearly defined. There is a dedicated
staff Case Administrator ([email protected]) who answer questions, guide
appellants, and manage/track each case to completion. The Case Manager(s) or Disposition
Manager(s) reviews each Appeal submission and determines the manner in which it will be
handled (ie. Documentary review or Hearing or Out of Order). If necessary, the Case
Administrator then selects an unbiased panel from a list of qualified candidates. We feel this
has vastly improved the need for an expeditious and fair Appeal process.
Education will play a significant role as we move forward in 2013. With everyone working hard
to implement LTPD, we must pool all of our resources to improve or enhance current education
implementations. In 2012 we ran several OSA Discipline Certification courses across the
Page 12 of 116
province and turned out many new qualified candidates, however, we need to turn our focus to
those who have already been certified. Refresher courses/workshops are needed for several
reasons. Firstly, they are important for keeping active Discipline Chairs current on rule changes
and reviewing practices to ensure they are consistent with OSA Policy. Secondly, for those that
are certified and have not been active, to provide a refresher workshop to ensure competence
and renew confidence in conducting Hearings. Most importantly, to provide a venue for
information sharing, promotion of new ideas, and the desired improvement and integrity of the
process of imparting Discipline.
There are currently many inconsistencies in the way Discipline cases are handled by Clubs,
Districts and Leagues. One major concern is that cases are being managed and chaired by the
same individual. These are clearly separate roles and must be kept separate in order to avoid
conflict of interest and bias. Our committee will work with our Districts and Leagues to ensure
that educational support is provided and that fair processes are being conducted. Case
Management will become an educational focus.
We will encourage participation by all Competitive League and all District Discipline directors to
facilitate and attend workshops in an effort to provide a consistent, fair and expeditious
application of Discipline.
Many thanks this year to all members of this Committee for your dedication and support. You
have made significant contributions and I hope that we will all continue to share your wealth of
experience, if not on this Committee, then in some other capacity.

In 2012, many successes were achieved in the Ontario Cup, Masters/Classics Provincial
Championships, National Club Championships and the Coupe Quebec-Ontario Cup. The 2013
Ontario Indoor Cup and Ontario Futsal Cup also provided Provincial Titles to a number of
teams.
In the Ontario Indoor Cup 2013, there were 103 teams entered in the Competition in the Boys
and Girls U-13, U-14, U16, and U-18 Divisions. Most of the preliminary rounds were played at
The Soccer Centre in Vaughan, with four preliminary rounds played in Ottawa and one in
London. The Final Rounds were played at The Soccer Centre over two weekends in January and
February.
The Ontario Futsal Cup 2013 consisted of 18 teams in three divisions; U-14 Boys and U-16 Boys
and Girls. As was the case last year, Durham College hosted the event for both the Boys and
Girls Divisions. Thanks to the help of the OSA's Futsal Committee Chair, Bob Tibbo, the Cup
was successful in producing four provincial Futsal Champions.
The Ontario Cup Competition in 2012 began with 586 teams registered for play. Based on the
maximum number of players allowed to register per youth team (18), the participation reaches
a figure of approximately 10,500 players.
The Committee has discussed the format of the tournament rounds, and it has been noted that
we are restricted in this area due to the number of host organizations in each District
Association, as well as game officials. This year in the Ontario Cup, two divisions had to be
converted to knock-out rounds due to a shortage of hosts. Nevertheless, there were 91
tournaments played in the Ontario Cup involving soccer clubs from every corner of the
province.
Page 15 of 116
In 2012, over 1000 games were played in a period of about three and a half months. Based on
three refs per game, that would mean that over 3000 referees also participated in the Ontario
Cup. All the Semi-Final games were played on the weekend of August 25-26, 2012, made
possible by the tireless efforts of several District Associations and the volunteers with The
Ontario Soccer Association.
The Ontario Summer Games were held in Toronto and the final eight teams in the Under 15
Girls and Under 15 Boys Tier 1 divisions played in the Games. The top teams in each division
won the Summer Games Gold Medal as well as the Ontario Cup. Games were played at
Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke and teams stayed in the Athletes Village at Humber College .
The Ontario Cup Finals were held at The Soccer Centre in Vaughan, Ontario, on the weekends
of September 8-9 and September 15-16, 2012, with the U-18 and U-21 divisions playing at the
end of July to avoid conflict with many of the player's post-secondary educations. This year,
the Special Olympics division was played again as part of the Finals, and the Gold Medal was
won by the London Kings.
In the Masters/Classics Provincial Championships, a total of 14 teams participated. The
Classics division saw play in the Semi-Final Round as 4 teams played for the Title. Ten Over-35
teams participated in the Masters division.
The 2012 National Club Championships were held over Thanksgiving Weekend and the Under
16 Girls and Boys divisions played in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, the Under 18's in
Sydney, Nova Scotia and the Men and Women in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Meanwhile, The Ontario
Soccer Association hosted the Under 14 National Club Championships at The Soccer Centre in
Vaughan. The Classics Over-35 Nationals were held in Edmonton, Alberta. The Masters Club
Championships were held in Newfoundland. Ontario teams earned a total of 8 medals at these
National Championships.
The 2012 National All Star Championships were held in late July for the U-15 and U-16 Boys and
Girls Divisions. Both Boys Divisions travelled to Mount Pearl, Newfoundland for the
competition, while both Girls Divisions were played in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Ontario found
success in both provinces, with both Boys teams coming home with two Gold Medals, the U-15
Girls with a Gold Medal, and the U-16 Girls with a Silver Medal.
Also, on October 6 and 7, the fifth annual Coupe Quebec-Ontario Cup was held. The provincial
league champions in Ontario played a two game series against the provincial league champions
from Quebec. This year, both the male and female competitions were held in Quebec and
played at Terra Cotta in Pointe-Claire. Strong play by Ontario's male teams led to the Coupe
Quebec-Ontario Cup title, while Quebec was victorious in the female competition.
In closing, we wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all the parents , coaches and players who
participated in these programs. We would also like to thank all the volunteers, host personnel,
and game officials, as well as the OSA staff members.
These competitions are one area in soccer where everyone works together .

Kathleen McCarthy
2012 was a busy but an extremely productive year for the Referee Development Department.
Staffing
Kathleen McCarthy transitioned into a Coordinator role within the Coaching department,
helping it achieve great improvements in efficiency and customer service. Lyndon Hooper
stepped up to help fill some of the void which Kathleen’s departure created, and we utilized 2
part time administrative assistants because when clinic and registration season arrives we are
still determined to meet the service expectations of our stakeholders .
Volunteers
The Referee Department has a strong and knowledgeable volunteer base . We continue to move
technical activity and organization to our key volunteers with great success. We are soliciting
reliable successors to the current volunteers and it is a long & slow process of succession
planning. The leaders of our committees and sub-committees have agreed to remain in their
roles, thus providing us with continuity and experienced leadership in our various programmes.
Long Time volunteer Tony Camacho was named Chair of the CSA Referee Committee, and
fellow Ontarian Amato DeLuca was appointed as a member of the same committee.
Futuro Instructor Isaac Raymond was selected by the CSA to be a FIFA accredited National
Fitness Instructor.
Gordon Arrowsmith was elected to the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame .

Automation
In 2012 we made the final move away from paper-driven processes by working with RefCentre
to host Online Referee Registration and place all or our annual education workshops (250+) on
a Clinic Management System . After a few growing pains, this was positively received by all
involved, as all of the information is now only one mouse click away.
In the area of Referee registration, we have reduced our environmental impact from 8-10
bankers’ boxes of Registration forms and Waivers to perhaps only 8 or 10 paper applications
per season, and in the Clinic system reduced from 250 banker box courier shipments of
printed material per season to under 10. These two initiatives have reduced the amount of
additional hours required and the volume of work that came through the department from
February to May. We still have some processes to fine-tune, but this has been a vast
improvement not only to staff, but to all our stakeholders.
Referees
Ontario’s own Silviu Petrescu was named the MLS Referee of the Year, the first such honor for a
Canadian official in league history and he was appointed to referee the League Finals with two
Canadian Asst. Referees.
Two referees were successfully appointed to the National List in 2012 – Yusri Rudolf (NYSA) and
Marie-Soleil Beaudoin (SWRSA).
The CSA came to us on several occasions asking for Ontario referees, especially females, for
events across Canada and in the USA.
These events included, CIS, OUA, National
Championships, Disney Cup, Dallas Cup and OCAA finals . And Ontario National List officials
were also active:
U14 National Club Championships Oct 3 -8, Vaughan, ON – Gianni Facchini
U16 National Club Championships Oct 3-8 Charlottetown, PEI – David Barrie
U18 National Club Championships Oct 3-8 Sydney, NS – Yusri Rudolf, Marie-Soleil
Beaudoin, Alexis Vaughan
SR National Club Championships Oct 3-8 Winnipeg, MB – Geoff Gamble
We used our regional and provincial upgrading officials at regional competitions, Ontario
Summer Games and in the Ontario Cup semi-final and final matches. At each event, the referee
was supported and mentored. We also used these games and competitions as mentoring
opportunities for new assessors and instructors.
The Advanced Referee Training Program (ART)
In 2012 this programme completed year three of its initial programming, and was extremely
instrumental in Ontario referees reaching the National List , and produced the top referees in
the Province.
ART referees also gave back to their communities by mentoring officials at Regional and
Provincial competitions and providing instruction at events and at their local clubs and
districts.

Provincial Upgrading
This initiative saw 21 of 28 referees successfully upgrade in 2012. This was a huge increase in
numbers as in 2011 we only upgraded 4 referees. We credit the improvement to the focused
education, skills-training and knowledge transfer put in through the workshops ; a very good
return on our investment.
The CSA held their provincial upgrading education weekend here at the OSA and of 40
attendees, 24 were from Ontario. The CSA was so impressed with the service and commitment
that Ontario is showing that it will be hosting this program in our province for the next two
years.
Regional Upgrading Programme
The 2012 program saw 33 of 52 applicants successfully upgrade in year 1, with 17 of the
remaining 18 confirming their participation in Year 2.
Both Regional and Provincial upgrading candidates have two years in order to meet the
required CSA standard. Applicants must pass a fitness test, an exam on the Laws of the Game
and attend a 16 hour education workshop.
Women in Soccer Enhancing Referees
The WISER program took great strides with the hosting of an all-female Assessor Accreditation
course, and an All-Female Entry Level Referee workshop. These increased our female assessor
count from five in 2011 to 20 in 2012, and added 25 new female referees to our program.
The members of WISER also provided positive mentoring or education opportunities at:
· Flags & Whistles Symposium - April 15
· First on Turf Tournament - April 20, 21, 22
· WISER Tactical Plan presented and accepted by DRC - April 27
· WISER presentation - Durham Soccer Association April 30
· All female assessor course - May 12
· All female Entry Level Course - May 26, 27
· OWSL League Cup - June 9 & 10
· Ontario Summer Games training and mentoring - Aug 16 - 19
· WISER presentation – District Referee Coordinator meeting Dec 1
· Ajax Showcase Tournament - Dec 13, 14
Referee Instructors & Referee Instructor Evaluators
We successfully re-accredited over 120 instructors in the new methodology of teaching based
on the 2011-2012 FIFA Futuro Rollout. This was facilitated across the province in four
locations, and led by our four Futuro instructors.
Few people grow far in isolation and that applies in soccer refereeing also. In early 2010 we
decided to focus some of our few resources on helping our referee instructors become more
effective, become more motivated and build our successors. We evaluated and mentored a
small group of Provincial level instructors in 2010 and again in 2011. From these groups we
identified twelve instructors who demonstrated the potential to be very strong
educators/instructors going forward, and we began to involve them in more demanding
Page 19 of 116
educational workshops and clinics.
A goal for 2012 was to move this evaluation process into the ranks of district level instructors;
this is even more critical because these instructors are the ones who first influence and guide
new referees. The Instructor Advisory Committee created a first in Canada, an instructor
evaluator workshop; it included an examination on the Laws of the Game and the creation of
new forms and evaluation criteria. We held two workshops for provincial class instructors who
expressed an interest in evaluating, one in Vaughan the other in Ottawa.
From these two workshops, 17 new instructor evaluators were accredited in 2012. This allows
us to put 17 more people in the field to evaluate and mentor instructors in the 2013 education
season. We intend to expand this programme in years to come.
Referee Assessors
Two assessors were successfully appointed to the National List – Joe Audi (EODSA) and Amato
DeLuca (TSA).
We upgraded or re-accredited over 40 assessors at two courses, one in EODSA and the other in
the GTA.
We have noted that many of our assessors are not following the CSA Referee Competencies
Handbook especially as it applies to district level match officials and so we will be reaccrediting
all assessors in 2013 with a focus on the expectations of a district level referee .
The number of matches being assessed continues to increase, this is critical for the successful
development of the match official and for the enjoyment of the game by players, coaches and
spectators.
As a side note, Ontario now holds 8 National Instructor positions on the National List, and 8 on
the National Assessors List – the largest percentage in the country .
Other
We are:
·
finalizing the ‘Referee Development and District Responsibilities’ document that was the
results of a working partnership between District Referee Coordinators , District
Administrators, Referees and OSA Staff.
·
working closely with CTO and other Technical Staff to bring Referee Development ,
Accreditation and Education into the LTPD framework.
·
in the process of data mining over 2,500 evaluations that were part of the Clinic
Management System in 2012.

The Constitution Advisory Group is an advisory group to staff which has for the past 19 years,
provided the OSA with an expedient and efficient way of providing interpretations to Member
organizations, the Board, President. Executive Committee, OSA staff and OSA committees, as
required. When the OSA's Constitution Committee was discontinued as a result of the OSA
restructuring its committees in 1993, the Constitution Advisory Group was formed in 1994 to
assist OSA staff in providing a speedy response to requests for interpretations and advice
regarding the implementation of published rules. During this period, other members of the
Advisory Group have included Edward Grenda and Fran Goddu. The success of the Advisory
Group process has been to eliminate bureaucratic delays usually associated with a committee
process and this has enabled the Constitution Advisory Group to provide speedy and effective
responses over the past 18 years. Although it keeps a low profile and is not very visible to the
Membership as it works in the background, the Constitution Advisory Group has been
reporting to the OSA Membership in the annual AGM Report Book since 2001.
As per our past practice, no meetings were held during the past year as the Constitution
Advisory Group continues to do its business by email and telephone.
The contact point is Bruce Henderson and constitutional interpretations are being provided
almost on a daily basis. Queries come from District Associations, Leagues, Clubs and OSA
personnel.
This year, inquiries were received regarding the following topics:
1. Member's right to, and process for, obtaining organization's Membership list
including Members' addresses
2. Member's right to received financial information and to view financial records
3. Member's right to adequate notice regarding amendments to Rules and Regulations

As described in the previous AGM report, the Task Force on Governance received Board
approval for the creation of a new Committee structure in May of 2011 and then set about
creating the necessary framework.
During 2012, the Task Force focused its work on developing the final version of each
Governance Policy (formerly known as a Term of Reference) and the necessary Published Rules
changes to support the new structure. The Task Force received Board approval for its proposed
changes and /or direction for revisions at various Board meetings throughout 2012.
I would like to thank the Task Force Members who worked so diligently on this Board-initiated
reform. Their efforts, in part, resulted in The OSA implementing its new Committee structure
in February 2013 and the start-up of The OSA’s first operational Nominations Committee in
2012.

1. Injury Report of the 2011 – 2012 Provincial Program
A current report is in the works and should be ready for publication on the OSA web site
before this report is addressed at the AGM. It will be outlining where most of the injuries
reported to us were for our Provincial teams for 2011 – 2012. Our results are similar after
making a quick review of the raw data to previous years where most of the injuries fell into 3
categories as follows: ankle, leg soft tissue, and knee. One of the notable changes is in the
category of female ACL injuries which have stayed lower than previous years. We found that
this trend has continued where we are having less ACL events than in the past . Much of this
improvement with reducing the number of ACL injuries continues to be due to a
concentrated effort by our High Performance department and the Sports Centres in changing
the training techniques and utilizing the FIFA 11 plus protocols to help the body prepare for
the various demands with the game of soccer. The ACL prevention video for our provincial and
national athletes continues to be viewed regularly by our athletes from the OSA web site . As
mentioned in last year’s report this video was a combined production by our Director of High
Performance, Paolo Pacione and the Sports Centres and it continues to be a huge success .
Page 24 of 116
2. Renewed Medical Advisory Committee
We have as in the past up dated and revised the list of members serving on the Medical
Advisory Committee this year. An effort is always made to ensure that the key medical
professions are represented which would provide the most help with the management of
our athletes. Special thanks to Dr. Jack Mayer, neurosurgeon, who continually remains readily
available on short notice to provide guidance to our athletes who sustain a head injury during
training or games.
We are also pleased to welcome Dr. Chris Mazzuchin, Registered Physiotherapist and Doctor of
Naturopathy to our advisory committee. Dr. Mazzuchin has worked with the region 6 training
program for the past 5 years in the Sudbury area. Dr. Nichola Bonafede, Cardiac specialist has
assisted us in establishing a comprehensive cardiac assessment protocol for those athletes at
risk and those looking to be screened on a voluntary basis . Typically it could take up to 4 to 6
months to get such a consult but these medical advisors are available within days.
3. Notes of interest with some of our committee members:
It was noted that one of the Advisory Committee Members now practices Law in the field of
Sports Medicine and its related issues. Dr. Ken Berger continues to be a valuable asset as he is
also licensed as a Medical Doctor with a specialty in Sports Medicine through CASM. Many
thanks to Dr. Frank Markus, General Surgeon and Dr. Manoj Bhargava, Orthopaedic Surgeon
who work in-house at the Sports Centers to provide rapid assessment , treatment and with the
accessing of medical tests and corrective surgeries as needed . We have also been able to
provide the Flu Shot, and other shots for travel to our athletes and staff , covered by OHIP and
facilitated by the York Region Department of Health through Dr . Markus. Mr. Paolo Pacione
who has been our director of High Performance for the past 7 years has now moved on to
provide the same expert services to the Montreal Impact FC . He remains on as an advisor to
assist in the ongoing program demands.
4. Integration with Teaching Institutions for Service Provider : Sheridan College,
University of York, University of Waterloo, University of Windsor, Guelph Humber
University, Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College
We continue to maintain an integrated and varied group of health care providers for our
High Performance provincial athletes here at the Ontario Soccer Centre and with the regional
satellite clinics. We continue to have athletic therapy grads and students , kinesiology and
exercise physiology grads and students and chiropractic grads and students from the teaching
institutions listed above. As the High Performance Provincial Program is a development
program for young aspiring soccer players so is the service provider pool. Many of the
relationships the Sports Centres maintains with the above institutions include co -op
programming and volunteer programming. This allows us to monitor and improve our health
care programs which we offer to our athletes as things change throughout the health care
delivery system. As in the past January/February is the time we provide our athletes with Sport
Nutrition and Sport Psychology sessions in preparation for travel in March and National
competition during the summer. We were pleased to have Rolf Wagschal, sport psychology and
Natalie Springer, sport nutritionist, both sourced out in combined effort with the Sports
Centres and the Canadian Sport Centre -Ontario, providing these sessions for us this year.

5. Assessing Budget Options for Health Care Coverage of the Provincial High
Performance Program, Coaching Clinics and OSA Promotional Tournaments:
The medical advisory committee continues to review current funding opportunities available for
the delivery of health care for the provincial program and looks for new opportunities as they
arise from both the public and private sector. Much of the public funding is tied to maintaining
certifications and licensing at various levels with our service providers such as with the
Canadian Sports Centres-Ontario where the service agreement has just been renewed for an
additional year commencing January 31, 2013. Through the Sports Centres and its
relationship with various institutions we are able to provide some coverage on a volunteer basis
through mentorship and the collecting of volunteer hours by health care students . This year
we have kept a tight reign on our High Performance Program as new staff have been
introduced. The Sports Centres ran 2 very intense and valuable combine testing days
(December 2012 and February 2013) giving the coaches a glimpse as to the fitness level of
their athletes. We also continue to implement the athlete’s home program so that athletes may
access designed fitness programs for their age, skill level and physical capabilities from the
OSA web site.
6. New Initiatives & Future Considerations
The following areas will be addressed over the next year by the Medical Advisory
Committee:
a.
Continued improvements to the Sports Medicine Clinic at the Ontario Soccer
Centre looking at funding to update some of the equipment and diagnostic Equipment . As
reported in last year’s report upgrades continue to be made to the Computerized Cybex
Isokinetic Dynameter, the computerized digital goniometer and to the hand -eye coordination
testing device, the Dynavision with which we are now capable of testing reaction time following
a head injury/concussion including the
cognitive component. The Dynavision is now a part of our Head Injury Management Protocol as
is the revolutionary Optojump to assess walking and running gait along with body sway. It is
also used to test athlete power, strength, speed and was used during our biannual combine
performance testing of the provincial athletes . Dr. Neilank Jha, neurosurgeon, and his team are
currently be used as a resource for some of our difficult to manage head injury cases.
b.
Reviewing the effectiveness of our treatment and rehabilitation programs for athlete
injury recovery particularly in the area of pre and post surgical rehabilitation . As mentioned in
last year’s report please note that since last August 2011 the Medical Clinic at the Soccer
Centre has had on site Diagnostic Ultra Sound to assess musculoskeletal injury and the
progress during the rehabilitation phase of the recovering provincial athlete . With this vascular
and abdominal ultra sound can also be performed. The Diagnostic Ultra Sound machine now
remains on site and technicians from Dixie X-ray (Vaughan Imaging) now come in 2 times per
week to provide the service which if referred by a physician is covered by OHIP at no cost to the
athlete or the OSA. As of March we have on site echocardiogram technology capability through
our newly added cardiologist.
c.
Reviewing the health care coverage provided to our athletes who are part of the
regional and provincial programs throughout the province. Our goal is to maintain full service,
rapidly accessible and stable health care facilities for out regional athletes as posted on the
OSA Web site.
d.
Improving the injury reporting system to ensure that our tracking system provides the
Ontario Soccer Association with the most up to date information possible . This past year, with
Page 26 of 116
the direction of Matt Greenwood of the OSA, the advisory medical committee continued to
participate in the consensus opinion think tank which is looking to develop more universal
reporting guidelines to reach a wider scope of injury data and are now also looking at the
development of new guidelines for “Safe Play”.
e.
The spot light continues to focus on the issue of concussion and head injury
management. After careful consultation and literature review it was found that the use of
mouth guards was effective for the prevention of dental injuries but not concussion of the
head. Similarly the concept that head gear will reduce the severity of concussion is also a myth .
This will be another area of ongoing debate. As of February of 2013 FIFA has published the up
dated SCAT III and the new SCAT III Child (ages 2 – 12). We are now using these in place of the
old SCAT II and they can be found for download on the OSA web Site.
f.
It has been proposed that the pre-participation medical assessment, which was
performed on site by the Sports Centres as a service to the provincial program until recent
years, be reinstated. This is being considered in the light of the recent deaths of professional
athletes in Europe from cardiac episodes and provincial athletes coming into the program with
cardiac and diabetic related health issues. Currently this is mandatory in Italy but not in North
America for various reasons. The advisory committee will continue to monitor things as they
develop in this and other areas of healthcare .
I would like to thank our committee members for their dedication and time. I would also like to
thank the Ontario Soccer Association for both its support and assistance in making this
committee a viable and productive group of advisors, and in particular, warm thanks to Ron
Smale and Bryan Rosenfeld for their ongoing advice and direction over the past year .

We continue to make strides forward as a province as we adopt a phased -in approach to the
implementation of Long Term Player Development. The Technical Advisory Council (TAC) has
put the needs of the player at the heart of everything they do as we work though changes to
soccer in the province to ensure we make the game more child-friendly in order to develop
better players and keep them in soccer for life.
TAC is striving to ensure we work towards our exciting vision for 2020— a vision that was
communicated at the 2012 Soccer Conference—by building upon the principles we established
as our constant reference point for the overall technical direction of the province . Alignment
with the Canadian Soccer Association’s “Wellness to World Cup – LTPD Plan” is essential for
soccer in Canada as we move together in clear, unified direction.
The support and positive feedback we have been receiving as we continue to introduce change
has been very encouraging. We have been receiving regular and constructive feedback (and
some challenging questions) from our members regarding the ongoing changes to the way we
deliver the game across the province. Many have told us they are pleased that there is now a
clear vision and direction in place, and they appreciate that the OSA is communicating and
consulting with our stakeholders on a regular basis. We are also receiving very positive
feedback regarding new programs such as the Community Coaching Courses and changes that
have been made to the OSA License courses. This support has been reinforced through a large
Page 28 of 116
increase in demand for coaching courses at all levels. It is wonderful to see the membership
responding in such big numbers and and also recognizing the importance of coach education
to the development and retention of players.
We are on a journey. Change sometimes brings uncertainty. But that uncertainty will ease as
we work through a major and ongoing consultation process to adjust current structures and
programs in order to evolve and improve what we do and what we deliver. Things will not
always be perfect. We are working to get things right but we realize that , on occasion, success
will be measured only after adjustments have been made and implementation is fully in place.
That will take time—and patience on all our parts.
What is critical in processes of change is that we constantly refer back to the principles behind
the changes and take ownership within our respective roles to communicate clearly at all times .
It is essential that we also move forward on this journey in a truly unified fashion, working
together for the betterment of the players .
In 2012, the OSA Board of Directors continued to fully support and embrace the positive
changes that LTPD implementation brings. The Board’s complete support of LTPD (and the
technical direction brought forward by TAC) has been constantly reinforced—from approval of
the Recreation and Development Matrices to the approval of changes to the Soccer for Life
Leagues being introduced in 2014, as well as the progression of the Ontario Player
Development League (OPDL) which is also being introduced in 2014.
Communication, consultation and education remain a key focus of TAC, and its commitment to
the membership in this regard has certainly been met. The Committee continued to
communicate regularly, while also producing videos and a range of resources to help educate
our membership as well as provide regular opportunities for consultation. The development of
the OSA “Champions” program is an exciting initiative, involving a informal group of speakers
who have been trained to update key stakeholder groups including parents , coaches and
Boards on questions around LTPD implementation. They are experienced and well prepared to
assist in communicating LTPD messages, as well as the principles behind the new pathway and
where we are in the change process.
Importantly, we have produced many educational resources to assist in explaining and helping
our membership. These include:
·
OSA League Management Guide (Learning to Train U8 – U12)
·
OSA Guide to Festivals
·
OSA Game Organization Guide (Physical Literacy U4 – U12)
·
OSA Field Organization Guide
We now need to ensure that, as an Association, we continue to provide the ongoing support
and education to the membership in accessing, understanding and implementing the changes
to soccer delivery, especially at the grassroots levels. It is critical to stress that these changes
give the game back to the kids and provide child-friendly environments to support their
enjoyment and growth in the game—and in life.
TAC met on two more occasions over the last year (five times in total over the past 20 months,
most recently in February, 2013) and key work projects have progressed outside of collective
TAC meetings. TAC work groups and key individuals have done crucially important work. TAC’s
focus now shifts to firming up the next phase of LTPD implementation, notably changes to the
Soccer for Life competition structures at U13 – U18. The OPDL and the supporting Talented
Page 29 of 116
Pathway now becomes an area of TAC emphasis as we go through a significant change to the
player pathway and how that is implemented and communicated to our stakeholders (Districts,
Leagues and Clubs). Ensuring the evolution of the Club Development Program and the role of
the referee in the pathway are also key priority areas as TAC moves forward .
I would like to acknowledge the ongoing support of TAC and other key individuals who have
made significant contributions in moving technical priorities forward through working groups
and other related projects. Without such a positive, committed, talented and passionate group
of individuals we would not have been able to make the progress we have in the ongoing
planning, implementation and integration of LTPD.
Putting the needs of the player first in every decision and continuing to work together is the
only way to build on the fantastic opportunity that LTPD provides—a new player-focused
platform that will bring so many positive changes to soccer in Ontario and Canada . It’s an
opportunity TAC will not miss.

It is hard to believe that 2012 was the second year that this group was in place. We continued
the discussion about what our expected role should be within the OSA.
We developed a survey regarding women’s soccer. Results of the survey are available on the
OSA website.
With the help of staff, we developed a presence on the OSA website.
In order to increase the profile of women in the soccer community, we developed a recognition
program whereby the OSA would profile one (or more) fantastic females in soccer on a monthly
basis. March 2013 was the launch of this program.
We are pleased that our recommendation to incorporate the option of co -chairs on the OSA
committees, with a view to foster increased female participation at this level , was approved by
the OSA Board of Directors.
We look positively on the Female mentorship in coaching program developed by the Technical
Department.

“VISION FOR 2020: Soccer is Ontario’s sport of choice, the game everyone plays.”
It was a great pleasure to be the chair of this group of dedicated individuals who did everything
asked of them in order to have the Ontario Soccer Association Strategic Plan presented and
approved at the November 2012 Board of Directors meeting. Having an approved plan in place
in 2012 was a key goal. The Group was also charged with oversight of the development and
presentation of the Executive Director’s Operational Plan ; this plan was approved by the Board
at the February 2013 meeting.
The Strategic Plan 2013-2015, owned by the Board and executed for the members and other
stakeholders, will help guide and move the OSA toward its mission and vision for 2020. The
Plan is rooted and builds on the Membership’s 2005 initiatives which resulted in the adoption
of the Strategic Framework 2006-2010 and the Association’s Mission, Vision and Values.
The OSA’s Strategic Plan, supported by the Executive Director’s Operational Plan, can be
condensed into 4 strategic priorities; each with related expected directional outcomes. These
are;
· STRATEGIC PRIORITY #1: ORGANIZATIONAL STABILITY to achieve …. A more effective
OSA
· STRATEGIC PRIORITY #2: LONG-TERM PLAYER DEVELOPMENT (LTPD) to achieve ….
LTPD success in Ontario
· STRATEGIC PRIORITY #3: MEMBERSHIP VALUE to achieve …. A unified soccer family in
Ontario
· STRATEGIC PRIORITY #4: PROGRAMS AND SERVICES to achieve …. Growth in OSA
programs, services and membership
Page 32 of 116
These priorities are each supported by goals and action items.
As a Committee of the Board, going forward, the Strategic Planning Committee will concentrate
efforts on communicating the implementation of the Plan to Members and the soccer
community throughout the Province. It will also assist the Board in monitoring the Plan’s
progress and help ensure the Plan is implemented with measurable results and accountabilities.
As chair I look forward to working with the Committee in 2013. I would like to take a moment
to recognize the individuals who, over the last 18 months, were part of the Group and
dedicated much of their time taking on the challenge to have our Strategic Plan delivered
before the end of 2012. These individuals, in no particular order are; Alwyn Vanden Berg, Dan
Tomlinson, John Dutot, Al Carrafiello, Winnie Brown, Ron Smale, John Labine, Michael Allison,
John Nador, Bill Condy, Lisa Beatty, Matt Greenwood and Mr. Ralph Beslin, who often went
beyond the role of consultant on our project. To these individuals, a job well done. Now for the
implementation ….
* Approved as a Committee of the Board at the February 2013 board meeting.

Member clubs in Peel Halton continue to be staunch supporters of the LTPD programs and
concepts. The majority have begun the adoption of the matrices to their Club Leagues
especially at the development ages. The District Technical Group continues to forge ahead
to support player centric systems of development.
The PHSA District Technical Group, supported by the Board, has supported the early
adoption of the LTPD formats. Our teams have only been given leave to participate in LTPD
complaint events. Leagues and tournaments which do not fit the matrices have no PHSA
teams entered.
In 2012, the District established a Competitions Group which operated the Peel Halton
Development League (PHDL); festival formats for U8 - U11 with over 200 teams in
participation. The PHDL saw weekly Festivals from mid-May until Mid-September. Events
were hosted by member Clubs every Saturday except for long weekends and a mid-season
pause at the end of July.
PHSA member clubs boosted the number of coach education clinics hosted in 2012. The

District offered seven (7) Pre B Assessment Courses in 2012. With the District Technical
Group, we are planning a series of Coaching Education programs for 2013.

Nominee's statement outlining:
1. her/his vision of the future of The Ontario Soccer Association:
We are at pivotal crossroads in our province in commencing to implement change. This is evident in the Board
approved Strategic Plan, changes in senior staff over the past 2 years and the new Board Approved Committee
structure. Even more time, effort, commitment & passion will be required from those who have been placed in
positions of authority. I accept this nomination aware of what the future demands/commitment will be.
My vision for the OSA is to meet these challenges within our province and at the national level and continue and/or
restore our organization to be the Provincial Sport Organization that serves as a model for others to duplicate – no
matter what sport. My vision includes;
working as a team with districts, clubs and leagues to increase participation and memberships;
z
z
simplify the structure so that more time is allocated to on field activities;
z
reduce rules so that we promote, not hinder, on field play;
z
increase participants that make up the OSA so that sustainability is maintained;
z
continue to participate in and/or lead discussion at Executive meetings so that issues are fully
understood and decisions are supported for the best interest of our soccer family;
continue implementation of the L-T-P-D programme so that each level, from the elite to the recreational,
z
can benefit and feel they are being served;
increase the links to Government agencies at all levels so that financial and other support for our
z
organization is maximized in our search for new funding sources;
improve the delivery of services so that member value is evident and loyalty to our programmes is
z
maintained;
2. what she/he hopes to achieve:
The volunteer aspect is vital to our association and must be reflected in what we do. Honesty, integrity and
transparency are important values that we need to aspire to, to help ensure successes in the long-term. We must
continue to gain trust from our constituents through improved, clear communication and better delivery of services
and programmes.
Over the next two year my goal is to proceed with the direction being pointed to by our Strategic Plan and its four
strategic priorities and not leave any District/Club/League/Participant behind. One of my priorities will be to continue
to listen to and represent any member that feels they are being left out and experiencing hardships as a result of our
change process. We cannot afford to lose good skilled individuals and/or members due to miss communication
and/or misunderstandings. We are in this together; we will see it through together.

Position: Vice-President
Nominee: Michael Allison
Nominated By: York Region S.A.
·
Has been involved with soccer in Ontario since moving here in 1997.
·
Has held team and club official positions up to Vice President at West End United SC and North Toronto SC.
·
Served with the Toronto Soccer Association (TSA) on several committees including strategic planning,
youth, league management and facilities prior to being elected to the association’s board in 2006 as the
fields director.
·
Vice President , TSA, and served as the district representative for the TSA on the OSA Board of Directors
from 2009 to 2010.
·
In 2010, successfully ran for the position of Director-At-Large at the OSA and was re-elected in 2012.
·
At the OSA, has sat on or continues to sit on a number of standing, and ad-hoc committees including
Strategic Planning, Governance Task Force, Rules rewrite, AIMS/IMS advisory and CSA regional
representative nominations committee.
·
member of the Player Development committee of the CSA from 2010 to 2012.
I see the OSA as the focal point for the development of professionalism in the sport in Ontario, indeed in Canada.
The association must be the embodiment of the spirit of the game, regardless of the level at which it is played, by
being the sport’s standard bearer. Through setting and maintaining high standards both on and off the field, the
association should seek to foster a culture of continuous improvement among all participants in the game.
All participants in the game should aspire to representing their communities and themselves with grace, honour and
spirit while still playing the “beautiful game”.
I am pleased to see ongoing movement in many facets of player development. Despite huge strides organizationally
however, the soccer body remains fragmented. I would like to see a more open OSA, inclusive to all those who enjoy
this game, governed reasonably and providing every participant with a place to play.
To accomplish this we need to focus our energies and talents to achieve the following:
Universal membership to all within the soccer fraternity
x
Removal of restrictions on play
x
Implementation of leagues which support long term player development
x
Establishment of province-wide centres of development and excellence
x
Renewed focus on generating focussed and effective coaches at all levels of the game
x
Harmonization of club, district and provincial rules while also streamlining the published rules and regulation
x
of the association
Development of logical, efficient and effective club structures

OSA Vision
The last two years have seen significant changes, if merely cosmetic at the moment, in the governance and the
administration of football in Canada and specifically at the OSA. However, we must get back to the business of the
game of football and all that entails and away from overloading our Membership in the bureaucracy that is meant as
support function. We must redirect the focus from the boardroom and back to the pitch, emphasizing development
and opportunity for all who deserve and require it. Remembering that, after all, we are stewards of the game of
football in the province of Ontario and therefore we must move beyond the pettiness of politics and behave
accordingly.
Hopes to achieve
• An improved relationship with our governing body and in turn those whom we govern to ensure there is alignment,
collaboration and integration between us.
• Champion a review the OSA's current geopolitical landscape to determine if it still functions well in today’s climate.
• Provide leadership to and ensure that the allocation of resources for our membership is increased and improved.
• Continue to reduce the administrative and bureaucratic role of the OSA in an effort to foster rather than hinder the
progression of the Players, Coaches and Referees in Ontario.
• Procure and transition to a registration system that fulfils the needs of our end-users.
• Transition the OSA to a single annual registration.
• Reduce the amount of travel for meetings (primarily committees) and supplement with available technologies.
• Removal of the restrictions on play within the Province of Ontario.
• Establish, possibly in conjunction with the CSA, proper elite training facilities across the Province.

My Vision for The Ontario Soccer Association
The OSA is recognized as an organization
1. that effectively serves its Members and its stakeholders,
Page 77 of 116
2. that is sustainable and stays the course of its Strategic Plan,
3. that has delivered the CSA and OSA's concept of Long Term Player Development, and
4. that has a financial plan that gradually reduces The OSA's dependence on player fee revenue.
What I Hope to Achieve
By themselves, individuals can achieve little within the complex OSA structure. However, as a Member of the
Board and its
various Committees, an individual can assist in the achievement of a multitude of
successes for the Association.
Thus, as the Governance Committee Chair, I wish to guide the Committee’s completion of its assigned tasks
associated with Strategic Priority #1 (Organizational Stability) of The OSA’s Strategic Plan. As a Member of the
Audit, Strategic Planning and Risk Management committees, I wish to contribute to the role these Committees
will play in assisting the Board in performing its governance responsibilities for sustaining the Association, for
establishing a sound financial multi-year plan and for growing the number of OSA registrants.
And finally, as Secretary, I wish to play a part in the Board’s advancement of The OSA’s Mission, Vision and
Values over the next two years.

*******************************************************************************************************
Throughout my life, I have been involved in Soccer in one aspect or another.
I have played both as a youth and adult.
I have Coached both Competitive and Recreational teams at various age levels.
I have Officiated and Administrated.
Based on this strong background in the sport, I believe I can bring a strong organizational presence and
commonsensical approach to the Ontario Soccer Association Board.
MY VISION…
My philosophy has always been...”Player Development, Player Opportunities”.
I have never put organizational politics ahead of what’s in the best interest of the sport.
I have always believed that we have it in our power to effect change…but only if we truly want it.
I believe Canadian Soccer is at a point where we need to truly look at ourselves and ask if we are really
providing the necessary programs and leadership for the future of the Sport.
We need to communicate and collaboratively work together…at all levels…for the future we all want.
Our members have expectations and we need to deliver.

SOCCER RELATED EXPERIENCE
2007 - Co-founder of Canadian Soccer Supporters United (CSSU)
Page 83 of 116
·
CSSU organized a number of events intended to shine a light on issues we believed were holding back the
growth of Canadian soccer, as well as to highlight the poor state of our national team program at that time.
Our efforts garnered significant media interest, both in Canada and the US.
2008 - Co-Author of the discussion paper “Canadian Soccer Federation: A New Way Forward”.
·
Many of the recommendations made in that document (i.e. the need for governance reform at the CSA and
Provincial level, the need to improve Player Development strategies, the importance of senior soccer as part
of any player development initiative, etc...) are now being actively discussed and, in some cases,
implemented by soccer governing bodies throughout the country.
2008 – Did extensive work, on a volunteer basis, working with the Canadian Soccer Association to engage
The Voyageurs (Canada’s leading National Teams supporter group) as well as Toronto FC fans
to organize a large home supporter section for the Canada vs. Jamaica World Cup
Qualifying match in Toronto. I personally sold in excess of 2000 tickets for this match.
2009 - Director of Soccer Academy Alliance Canada (SAAC).
·
·
·
Responsible for expanding SAAC’s marketing presence and development of brand development strategies.
Also worked to identify qualified groups capable of being invited to join the organization.
Most recently, I represented SAAC on the OSA’s Academy Working Group as we seek to create a
framework for private soccer academies to be sanctioned by the OSA.
I have resigned from the SAAC Board of Directors as of January 2013.
2009 – Again worked with the CSA and various local supporters groups to sell in excess of 1300
tickets to the Canada v USA Women’s National Team friendly at BMO Field.
2010 – Launched Milltown FC. I am majority owner and club President. We played in the Canadian
Soccer League in 2010 and have played in the Peel Halton Soccer League since 2011.
2011 – Volunteer Chair of “League Formation Group” that is working with the OSA to establish a
new provincial Semi-Professional soccer league (League1 Ontario) and to create a set of standards
for Semi-Professional soccer in Ontario.
2011 – Elected as Director of Senior Soccer for the Peel Halton Soccer Association. I was subsequently
re-elected in 2012 for a two year term.
2012 – Selected to be a member of the Ontario Soccer Association’s Nomination Committee.
2012 – Selected by the Canadian Soccer Association and the TO2015 Pan / ParaPan Am Organizers to
serve as the Volunteer Chair of the Sport Organizing Committee for Soccer.
2012 – Selected to be a member of the Canadian Soccer Association’s Professional Soccer Committee.
2013 – Selected to join the Ontario Soccer Assocition’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC)
AWARDS
2011 – Selected by the Italian Chamber of Commerce of Ontario (ICCO) to be included in their publication 'Made in
Canada, the Italian Way: the Next Generation '. This book profiles 34 Canadians of Italian descent (all under the age
of 40) that have made a significant impact in their respective fields of expertise.
Vision for the future of the OSA:
Ontario is, without question, the heart and soul of the Canadian soccer community. Not only do we boast the largest
registration base and place the most players on our various national teams, but we also lead in virtually every other
measurable category that is of consequence.
Page 84 of 116
As the key player in Canadian soccer, the Ontario Soccer Association has a responsibility to provide Inspirational
Leadership, to boldly challenge the status quo and to work tirelessly to grow the sport in an intelligent and sustainable
manner. The goal of the OSA’s leadership must be to excite, inspire and connect with the membership and
stakeholders while injecting energy and innovation into its programs.
On several fronts, the OSA has shown strong leadership. The most obvious example of this is the way it has tackled
the adoption and implementation of LTPD. The OSA has also been a strong advocate for important governance
reforms; made crucial moves which, in time, will invigorate the senior soccer landscape in the province; has actively
supported the CSA whenever Toronto has played host to our national teams; and has boldly brought private soccer
academies under the OSA’s big tent. Yet, with all the good work that has been and continues to be done, there is still
much to do.
Passion and Unity are needed to effectively work through all the opportunities facing the OSA. The membership
requires and deserves a keenly focused and cohesive group of directors and staff, all pulling in the same direction,
working to achieve goals effectively and in a timely manner. The OSA also needs more people, positioned in key
roles, who are armed with passion, vision, integrity, conviction, and, most of all, an intimate knowledge of the sport of
soccer at the business, governance and technical levels.
A focus on Increasing Organizational Capacity is required in order to meet and exceed the ever evolving needs of the
membership, as well as to propel the sport to the heights it is capable of achieving within this province’s sporting and
cultural landscape. We cannot be content with simply boasting large registration figures. The popularity of soccer as
a participation sport must be activated into something more meaningful and fruitful, both on the field of play and from
a business perspective.
Communication is of paramount importance to the success of the Association. For instance, as the OSA pushes
forward on its ambitious LTPD implementation strategy, at the same time, it must work diligently to fine tune the
messaging around LTPD to ensure that misinformation and fear does not railroad this critically important initiative.
While the OSA has done a much better job of communicating with the larger soccer community in recent years, there
is still much room for improvement and investment in this area, and doing so will assist greatly in providing the type of
inspirational leadership that is needed.
Openness must also be a hallmark of the OSA. While there have been improvements in this area, the OSA must
continue to seek out opportunities to embrace the many groups scattered across Ontario that sit outside the “soccer
mainstream”. Not only is it a prudent strategy, it is also the right thing to do. Soccer is the world’s game and Ontario
is one of the most culturally diverse jurisdictions on earth. The OSA must reflect that diversity and must be open to
the new ideas that come with it.
Finally, the OSA must make significant Investments in Opportunity. The traditional focus on making soccer accessible
has, to a large extent, worked to expand the registration base, improved community soccer field inventory, created
sustainable demand for critically needed indoor facilities and led to better mainstream awareness for the game. Now
we must shift our focus to creating greater opportunities for people to achieve their professional ambitions within the
sport, be it as a player, coach, referee, administrator and even media member. The demand within the community for
this is huge and if begin to match opportunity to the demand, soccer will be propelled forward at a pace that will dwarf
what has been accomplished over the past several decades.
What I hope to achieve if elected:
I am seeking election to fill the role of OSA Director-at-large because I would like to play an active role in helping the
Ontario Soccer Association pursue an ambitious and proactive agenda over the next two years. To do so will require
an executive team who bring energy, passion and commitment to steering the direction of the Association and who
possess the knowledge, experience and skill sets needed to guide and assist OSA staff in executing the mandate that
has been established. I am confident that I have the qualities needed and hope to have the opportunity to join the
OSA Executive team at this important juncture.
As a director without a specific portfolio, it would be my intent to immerse myself wherever and whenever I can, for
the benefit of the OSA, as directed by the President. My full time job provides me with sufficient schedule flexibility so
I can commit myself fairly extensively to working on behalf of the OSA.
I have a deep passion for promoting the sport of soccer at the senior competitive level. If elected, I would want to
work extensively on senior soccer issues and seek to make it a key technical and operational priority. I firmly believe
that without a vibrant, standards-based Competitive Senior Soccer structure (for both men and women), our ambitious
Page 85 of 116
LTPD strategies will fall short of their full potential. This involves breathing new life into the long neglected senior
competitive amateur level of the sport as well as helping nurture the development of professional soccer in the
province. With my experience in the game, I believe I am well suited to tackling this type of project.
I also want to help open up the OSA to the larger soccer community in Ontario. Over the years that I have been
involved in the sport of soccer, I have met so many people who are deeply passionate, who possess outstanding
knowledge and have meaningful experience in the game but who feel completely disconnected from the system of
soccer as it exists. I am certain that my experiences only scratch the surface and I am very motivated to be in a
position to change this situation and serve as a bridge between the OSA and those individuals and groups that are
outside the association.
I am also passionate about both player development and coaching development and would be more than happy to
serve in whatever capacity I am asked to in order to help promote those issues.
From a governance standpoint, I believe that the OSA is on the right track in terms of acknowledging the need for a
comprehensive rules re-write but I believe that there are other challenges that need to be addressed. The CSA has
undergone the first phase of significant governance reform, which the OSA was a leading proponent for. I believe it is
time to take a hard look at our governance model and to begin the process of critically assessing both our strengths
and weaknesses and establishing a plan for how to address our shortcomings.

2012 Annual Report
2012 was a year of change and transition for The Soccer Centre. In its fifteenth year of operation, The
Soccer Centre saw the departure of its Director of Facilities and several other staff members. With the
change has come a new philosophy emphasizing the delivery of exceptional customer service and a
focus on the health and safety of both visitors and staff.
The influx of competition in the Greater Toronto Area has challenged us to improve our offerings as well
as the customer experience. As a result, the Soccer Centre Board of Directors has made a commitment
to support the development and implementation of a Master Plan for the facility. The vision and longterm sustainability of the Soccer Centre will be established through the planning process.
Soccer is the core business that takes place at The Soccer Centre and generates a majority of the
revenue achieved. The portfolio of assets at the facility positions the organization well for future
development and partnerships within the City of Vaughan and surrounding communities. The following
are revenue generating opportunities that enhance our core business.

The Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum
by Kim Watson
This has been another exciting and busy year for The Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum. The
organization has continued to strengthen our presence in the community through outreach
projects, build and streamline our collection and develop partnerships, collaborations and
networks with other organizations.
The collection is the corner stone of any museum and through the assistance of the Trillium
Foundation, The Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum has been able to organize, document and
digitize the artifact collection. Through this process, the museum has been able to utilize the
collection more efficiently through a number of interesting projects . To date, approximately
3200 artifacts have been properly documented and entered into the collection management
software, Past Perfect.
This year, The Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum embarked on a number of exciting new
initiatives. Roller banners were produced and used in displays at numerous venues to
showcase the organization. The banners are eye-catching and explore various aspects of
Canada's soccer history illustrated through artifacts and photographs from the museum 's vast
collection. An exciting outreach project completed this year was the development of our first
school education program. The program has direct links to the language and media literacy
areas of the Ontario school curriculum while creating an interactive and engaging approach to
learning. The program is titled, "Soccer Then and Now" and explores the changing technology
in soccer equipment throughout the last century using artifacts and soccer photos from the
museum's archival collection. The organization continued to add to the museum's website by
creating a soccer history blog appropriately named "Historian's Corner with Colin Jose" as well
as a YouTube channel where visitors could view videos related to our soccer heritage. There
were several new temporary exhibits that were displayed both in-house and off-site that
focused on various aspects of the game. There was an exciting new lobby display created at
The Soccer Centre that focused on Canada's women and men's National teams. The new
exhibit area includes a ten foot long display case and two large murals featuring the 1924
Men's National Team and the 2012 Women's National Team. These exciting new initiatives
have allowed the museum to connect with the community on a broader scale.
There were public inquiries ranging from specialized information on teams and players to
possible donations. The inquiries resulted in twelve new interesting and rare acquisitions for
The Soccer Hall of Fame and Museum. One of the donations was from the family of the late Sid
Davis who played for prominent Canadian soccer teams in the 1920's - 1940's and included
priceless memorabilia related to our 2011 Organization of Distinction, Ulster United.
The 13th annual Induction Banquet was a night filled with excitement as we celebrated an
evening of soccer excellence. The banquet was held at the elegant Fairmont Royal York in
Toronto where we not only celebrated our inductees achievements but also the 100th
anniversary of the Canadian Soccer Association recognizing the Team of the Half Century and
all they have done for the game of soccer in our country. It was a night where soccer's elite
gathered, reminisced with old teammates and shared their past soccer experiences .
The 2012 Inductees included:
