Hosting an Exhibition Game if both Teams are Members of
SOSA
In accordance with Ontario Soccer Association Policy, SOSA
grants annual blanket approval for all exhibition games played between teams
with SOSA`s boundaries. As a result, any two teams that are registered members
of SOSA can arrange for a sanctioned exhibition game.
In order for any such exhibition games to be considered sanctioned and thus
eligible for insurance coverage, team officials are required to advise their
club of the game details. Clubs are required to maintain a list of all
intra-district exhibition games in which its teams compete in case there are any
insurance inquiries.
Hosting an Exhibition game if one Team is
not a Member of SOSA
Teams wishing to host an exhibition game against
a team from outside SOSA (including other Districts in Ontario, other provinces,
or other countries) must submit an Application to Host an Exhibition Game to SOSA.
Please note the deadlines for applications, particularly for out of
province/country teams as these applications require the authorization of the
OSA and/or the CSA.
Travelling to an Out-of-District Exhibition Game
Any team
wishing to participate in an exhibition game outside the jurisdiction of SOSA
must submit an Application To Travel Form signed by their club together with proof that the exhibition
game has been sanctioned by the parent organization of the Club hosting the
exhibition game and the appropriate fee.
As these applications require District and sometimes O.S.A. and C.S.A.
approval please pay particular attention to the deadlines for submission of the
A.T.F.`s which are printed on the reverse side of the forms. Please note that
travel outside Canada and the United States requires 60 days not 45 which is
printed on the form
A team is covered by insurance through the OSA insurance policy for travel
within Canada only. You may wish to purchase additional
insurance for travel to provinces a great distance from Ontario, such as British Columbia or
the Maritimes.
