The ASA
Board of Directors has sent out an email explaining the
financial impact on the ASA of recent court actions.
It is important for everyone to understand the financial impact on
Alberta Soccer Association caused by the plaintiffs who took ASA board
members to court without appropriately going through soccer’s
judicial system. The plaintiffs are Edmonton District Soccer
Association, Central Alberta Soccer Assoc., Sunny South District Soccer
Assoc., Chris Billings, Danny Bowie, Mike Troke, Shauna Aab, and Les
Hodges. They all lost in court. The mounting legal costs they have
forced on ASA is now several hundred thousand dollars. This does not
include legal fees incurred by the plaintiffs. Nor does it include cost
for their current inappropriate activities.
....
The damage caused by these groups listed above to ASA soccer programs
is significant. Our annual budget is $3.4 million and to strip away
almost 20% and climbing for legal fees is unacceptable. Programs have
been cut back or
eliminated. Audit and Budget work normally commenced in June
hasn’t started. Should these groups be held accountable? The
answer is yes.
