Dear Alberta Soccer Members,2012-2013 proved to be another year of incredible successes thanks to our amazing membership. As part of the leadership team of the Alberta Soccer Association, along with the Board of Directors and professional staff, we are excited for the promising future that lies ahead both on the field and off.

This year saw the Association make a big step forward with the development and release of the Association’s first ever three year Strategic Plan which outlined our new vision as “a centre of excellence for the game, providing opportunities for all players to reach their full potential” and outlined strategic priorities and deliverables. This plan will help ensure transparency and accountability amongst our Membership while keeping our programs and activities focused. We also took positive steps regarding the Governance structure of our organization. By-Laws that provide more clarity around Board and staff responsibilities, in particular, Technical, Referee and Competitions Committees will now be led by staff while committees like Strategic Planning and Risk Management will be overseen by Board Members.

Long Term Player Development remains at the heart of our programming while also contributing to the continued development of our competitions and referee programs. In every decision we make and program we create, player development will always remain at the centre of everything we do. With greater collaboration between the Alberta Soccer Association, FC Edmonton and the Canadian Soccer Association, we are confident that our players will receive better and more consistent environments to play in. For example, in this past year we created male and female Regional Performance Centres in partnership with FC Edmonton in both Calgary and Edmonton that serve as the link between our Provincial and National Team Programs.

The Association has also been hard at work developing its business foundation which included adding a Communications and Business Development Coordinator to our Professional Staff at the beginning of the year. We are finding ways to target our younger audiences and engage them in our various activities and programs. This has included revamping our digital presence with a new, more user-friendly website and a foray into various social media channels like Twitter, Instagram and YouTube. We have also been hard at work laying the groundwork for future partnerships and sponsorships while signing on new partners who fit with the Alberta Soccer vision and mandate such as Booster Juice.

In the past year we have also focused on building collaborative relationships with our soccer partners around the province and on a national scale. The support of our District Members, Clubs and countless volunteers, ensures that our programs, events and initiatives are possible and affordable. Our current staff continues to be wonderful representatives and champions for the Association and soccer in Alberta. Impressive staff retention over the last couple of years has allowed us to be consistent in the pursuit of our strategic priorities and deliverables. These are key components in allowing Alberta Soccer to maintain fees while simultaneously increasing services to our Members.

2012-13 has been a fantastic year both on and off the field for soccer in Alberta but we will not rest on our accomplishments to date. The time is right for the game to continue to flourish as we head into the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup Canada 2014 and the FIFA Women’s World Cup Canada 2015 both of which have Edmonton as one of the host cities. We will continue to work closely with our membership and our partners to build on the momentum we have established. We will continue to pursue a progressive approach to our programs and use innovation, consultation and engagement as key elements in helping us to be the leader of soccer in Alberta, now and into the future.

Life Members...a very special way of honouring a member's future life by recognizing the significant and sustained commitment made during their past life - in Soccer. As the ultimate compliment an individual can receive from their peers, it publicly states that they have given unselfishly, asking nothing in return other than their love of the game. ~ Anonymous Life Member

From Grassroots to Excellence

"Higher standards will continue to guide Alberta's Player Development Programs"

The Association continues to push forward with aligning all programs to the Long Term Player Development (LTPD) Model. Led by Technical Director, Shaun Lowther, the Association's player development programs will directly feed into Canada Soccer's programming and be guided by higher standards.

Technical Development

LTPD compliance has guided all of our Technical programs to date for both coaches and players alike. All documentation that the Technical Department produced in 2013 was LTPD compliant in regards to Technical Standards eg. game formats, ball size, field size etc.

This year we were very fortunate to bring Sylvie Beliveau, LTPD manager for Canada Soccer into Alberta. Sylvie hosted two LTPD implementation meetings in Calgary and Edmonton and she has been a fantastic resource to Alberta Soccer as we attempt to continue to encourage LTPD to stakeholders throughout the Province.

Moving forward there are a couple of initiatives that we wish to embark on that will help LTPD Implementation. Firstly the creation of a High Performance League for Alberta players who would be considered in the Stage 4 - "Training to Train" and Stage 5 - "Training to Compete" stages of development is an essential element in the Player Development pathway. The importance of meaningful consistent competition for High Performance is critical to get players to the highest levels of the game. In addition, Alberta Soccer will be calling upon individuals across the Province to become LTPD Leaders within their region to Champion the cause of LTPD.

Regional Performance Centres

The formation of the Regional Performance Centres in partnership with FC Edmonton occurred in September 2013. The program, with approximately 18 players of both genders in each of the two centres, creates a training environment of the utmost quality. Players who range in age from 15 to17 receive top class coaching four times per week. The best of the best train together in a competitive arena to push each other to higher levels of play. As part of the Player Development Pyramid to assist players in their goal of reaching National Team programming we have seen success in the short term with several players already involved in National Team Projects.

Being in constant contact with National Team Staff, the Regional Performance Centres will be very important in continuing to promote Alberta based players into the National Youth Team setup.

Danone Nation's CupAlberta Soccer in partnership with Calgary Minor Soccer Association hosted the Annual Danone Cup Alberta selection camp in Calgary on September 21st. Close to 350 enthusiastic 10 and 11 year olds from throughout the Province put on a class performance in sportsmanship and level of play to impress the dozen or so evaluators who were responsible for selecting the players to move on.

A total of 45 players were selected. These fortunate players will now participate in an Alberta Provincial Camp in the Spring that will allow these players to showcase their talents further in their quest to represent Canada at the 2014 Danone Nation's Cup Finals at a site TBD.

National All-Stars In its last year of existence, Thunder Bay and Laval played host to the Annual National All-Stars Competition for U15 and U16 Boys and Girls.

Alberta Soccer put in impressive performances to medal in every age category. Both the U15 Girls and U16 Boys lost hard fought Championship matches to Ontario and took home silver medals while the U15 Boys and U16 Girls won their bronze medal matches.

The competition also served as an opportunity for players to showcase their skills to Canada Soccer Coaching Staff and several Alberta players were identified.

Prairie Invitational For the first time in its young history, Alberta teams competing in the Prairie Invitational had the opportunity to play at home in Calgary.

U13 and U14 Alberta North and South teams competed with BC, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in a week long tournament. With this particular competition being guided by LTPD and with minimal focus on results, players were given an opportunity to show their skills to Technical Directors and Canada Soccer's U-17 Men's Coach, Sean Fleming.

58 Alberta players of 188 total players were selected to the Umbro All-Star game on the final day of competition.

Canada Summer GamesThe competition was held this year in Sherbrooke, Quebec for U-18 male and female teams. Both of the Alberta Men's and Women's teams played inspiring soccer that was not reflected in the final placing during the competition. Both teams placed 5th after unlucky results but both were credited for the style of soccer they played by neutral observers and coaching staff of the opposition.

GrassrootsAlberta continues to implement and evolve programs that focus on all levels of player development. In 2013, Alberta Soccer continued to support initiatives to strengthen links between the Distict Grassroots programs and ourselves through various programs. This focus will continue into 2014 through the active promotion and alignment of its programs with the Long Term Player Development plan.

SoccabilityThis positive program for players with disabilities continued to grow in 2013 and promote inclusive opportunities. The program has developed a stable presence in Edmonton and Calgary with plans to encourage further District programs throughout the Province. In 2013, Powerchair Soccer was added to the Soccability program in Calgary. In total, 68 participants registered for the Soccability Program in 2013.

District Outreach ProgramThe focus of 2013 was continued engagement through parent, player and coach programs. This was extended to engaging Board of Directors with the intention of heightening awareness of district engagement and development opportunities through the implementation of LTPD.

Summer Soccer CampsAlberta Soccer re-launched their summer soccer camps in 2013 to further engage Members in LTPD principles. One camp was held in Redwood Meadows that had 34 players sign up and one was held in Fort McMurray that had 68 players. These camps are unique from other summer soccer camps in that they include instruction from Alberta Soccer Provincial B Licensed coaches.

Mini StarsThe 2013 Mini Stars program which focused on the Learning to Train Stage of development continued to grow over the last year and was offered in multiple centres across the province. The goal of Mini Stars is to offer children and parents a developmental program that will support their continued development and transition into the Provincial Team Program. As many as 26 players of the 2013 U13 Provincial Teams have progressed through the Mini Stars program.

Coach Education2013 saw the continued transition towards the new Coaching Certification Pathway aligned with the Long Term Player Development Model

Increasing NumbersThe Alberta Soccer Coaching Program saw a significant increase (+30%) in overall participation in 2013 with the Community Stream courses as the major source of growth. This growth was achieved with a leaner but more productive roster of Provincial Learning Facilitators

Community Stream DataThe Coaching program was the first program to the feel the effects of the Long Term Player Development model having rolled out the Community stream of Canada Soccer's LTPD inspired Coaching Pathway. The figure below shows the distribution of Coaches in Community Stream Courses.

Licensing Stream2015-16 will see the launch of Phase 2, the Competition Introduction Stream of the LTPD Coaching Pathway Rollout. In 2013, Alberta Soccer continued to offer the Pre B Assessment Course and Provincial B Licence for Coaches wishing to coach at the Excellence level.

Pre B AssessmentThe Pre B Assessment continues to offer coaches in the province the opportunity to be assessed, often for the first time and aims to evaluate the coaching and technical ability of the candidate. It serves as an important and critical bridge between the Community and Licensing Streams. 34 Coaches were trained at the Pre B Assessment level in 2013 as we head into the last year of the Pre B Assessment's existence.Provincial B LicenceThis year the Provincial “B” Licence has transitioned from a course into a program. Simply put this means that the educational/course components (Training) and the evaluation components (Certification) have been separated as per NCCP.

The chart below shows the number of participants who took part in the Provincial B and Pre B Courses in 2013.

Over 1700 Coaches attained thenecessary community coaching qualifications

Online Course ManagementIn early 2013 the Coaching Department rolled out an Online Course Management System to upgrade and streamline our course management processes and develop a province-wide soccer-specific coaching database within Alberta.

The Coaching Department has worked diligently to raise the standards of delivery of coach education across Alberta. The quality, professionalism and enthusiasm of our instructors are key factors in our ongoing efforts to get to the next level. Each year we continue to deliver Workshops and training for our Assessors, Learning Facilitators and Master Learning Facilitators from all over the Province.

In addition to providing insurance coverage to the players and organizers, tournament sanctioning is essential to the success of a tournament. Sanctioning provides access to referees, advertising on the Alberta Soccer Website, and allows tournaments to accept teams not just from outside of their District, but also from other Provinces and States.

RefereesAlberta Soccer continues to focus on how we can develop our Officials across the province through improved programs and course offerings

Our Referee Development Committee grew from eight to ten members in 2013 as a result of a planned re-structure. The province wide positions of Recruitment and Retention and Educational Development were added and have already produced several new initiatives.

AchievementsAlberta saw another one of its Referees appointed to the FIFA List this past year in Sheena Dickson. Sheena was put to work straight away with appointments at the Universiade Games in Russia and the CONCACAF U17 Championship in Montego Bay, Jamaica in 2013. Sheena joins Dave Gantar on the list who has become a regular in MLS, World Cup Qualifiers and CONCACAF Championships in his third year as a FIFA referee.

Gabriel Loas represented Alberta at the CSA Boys All Stars in Laval, QC. Gabriel also refereed many elite level games in the province including the Jubilee Shield Gold Medal game at Senior Soccerfest.

30 of the best up and coming officials in Alberta were appointed to the CSA U-14 Club National Championships in Lethbridge in October, 2013. These types of appointments present excellent development opportunities for our officials.

Notable Courses195 Referee Courses were carried out throughout the Province. The North Region offered a total of 107 courses while the South Region had 87 courses. A total of 3,455 Referees participated in these courses during the year.

2013 marked the first time in five years that Alberta Soccer offered a Provincial Upgrade course. This course is ideal for successful Regional Referees in the Province who have aspirations to advance to the National List. The course was held in Calgary and attended by 14 candidates from around the province.

Special Events2013 was a remarkable year for events that engaged our Members and other special people from across the province.

Women's National Team in Edmonton and CalgaryAfter the success the Canadian Women's National Team had at the London Olympics, their rockstar status was truly understood when five members of the team touched down to deliver camps in Edmonton, Red Deer and Calgary. Erin McLeod, Christine Sinclair and Karina LeBlanc made an appearance at the Coaching Symposium delivered in Calgary in February where they spoke to soccer enthusiasts and delivered a training session for one lucky team.

Erin McLeod continued her presence in the province with goalkeeper clinics and speaking engagements in both Red Deer and Edmonton.

Sinclair and LeBlanc than made the drive North to Edmonton to meet up with fellow teammates Rhian Wilkinson and Diana Matheson to deliver four training sessions to over 250 young soccer players and speak at a Corporate Luncheon in front of the Mayor of Edmonton, corporate guests and soccer teams alike. Tickets for the training sessions sold out in a staggering four hours after they went on sale.

FinancialsFor the third year in a row, the Alberta Soccer Association maintained a surplus providing further evidence of a stable and efficient organization. More importantly, a surplus was achieved without increasing fees for our members (the fifth year in a row that fees have not been increased) while providing even more services and therefore value for money. We continue to devote the majority of our resources to player related programing and services. 67% of all expenditures are directed to Technical Programming and Competitions.

Other notable financial successes include:

- The Alberta Soccer Association has increased assets by just under $1,000,000 since October 31, 2011

-Our revenues have increased each of the last five years from 2008 to 2013 with no increase in fees required from our Members

-2012-2013 served as a transition year based on the development and implementation of our 2013-2016 Strategic Plan. The transition year went smoothly with budget adjustments for 2014-2015 made in all departments.

ALBERTA SOCCER ASSOCIATIONNotes to Financial Statements


Nature of operations:

Alberta Soccer Association (the "Association") provides the administrative and technicaldevelopment framework for all soccer programs within the Province of Alberta. The Association,incorporated under the provisions of the Societies Act of Alberta, is a non-profit organization withinthe meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and is exempt from income taxes.

1. Significant accounting policies:

(a) Basis of presentation:

On November 1, 2012 the Association adopted Canadian accounting standards for not-for-profit organizations, Part III of the CICA Handbook - Accounting ("Part III"). These are thefirst financial statements prepared in accordance with Part III. The Association previouslyissued financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2012 using generally acceptedaccounting principles prescribed by Part V of the CICA Handbook - Accounting.

In preparing these financial statements, the transitional provisions of Section 1501, First-time Adoption by Not-for-Profit Organizations have been applied. Section 1501 requiresretrospective application of Part III with certain exemptions and retrospective exceptions.The transition date is November 1, 2011 and all comparative information provided hasbeen presented by applying Part III. The Association has not elected to use exemptionspermissible under Section 1501.

The effects of adopting Part III resulted in no change to net assets as at November 1, 2011or the comparative statement of operations and cash flows presented in these financialstatements.

(b) Use of estimates:

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure ofcontingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reportedamounts of revenue and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from thoseestimates.

(c) Inventories:

Inventories distributed for no or nominal value or consumed in the delivery of services arestated at the lower of cost and net replacement cost. Inventory held for sale is stated atthe lower of average weighted cost and net realizable value.

Unrestrictedcontributions are recognized as revenue when received.

Contributions for the acquisition of property and equipment and donated property andequipment are recorded as unamortized capital contributions and recognized to income onthe same basis as the amortization of the assets for which the contributions were received.Excess revenue (expenditure) reported in the statement of changes in net assets forinvestment in property and equipment are the net amount of depreciation and revenueattributable to property and equipment and represent a transfer of unrestricted net assets.

The exposure to credit risk is limited to theamounts receivable for which local soccer districts and associations are required to be in goodstanding to participate in the Association, other strategic partners such as collegiateassociations and others. When there are doubts concerning collection, an allowance isprovided by the Board who reviews what actions, if any, they may take against the local districtsand associations or other debtor. The credit risk exposure in the current year is unchanged fromthe prior year.

Substantially all of the Association’s operations are transacted in Canadian currency,accordingly foreign currency risk is not considered significant. The nature of investments islimited to interest bearing bank issued deposits and interest rate risk is not consideredsignificant to the operations of the Association.
