CENTRAL SECTION CREDENTIALLING MEETINGS

The Central Section will be holding three (3) credentialing meetings this year to support team credentialing points of contact (POC) in understanding the credentialing process and the use of GameSheets. Each team credentialing POC is required to attend one of the three meetings. There have just been too many issues pertaining to those that did not attend any meetings that we need to make attending at least one mandatory. The meetings will be held at the following times:

1. Credentialing Meeting 1: Monday 11 August 2025 (Prior to 15O/16U/18U/19U minimums start)
2. Credentialing Meeting 2: Monday 25 August 2025 (Prior to remaining division minimums start)
3. Credentialing Meeting 3: Monday 22 September 2025 (Just following Section Fall meeting and Final Declarations)
