>>[lurker] Has SCYSA confused qualification with capability?<<

Licensing, in any profession, isn't about establishing a causal 1-1 link between qualification and capability. Rather, it's about establishing a minimum (let me stress that again, minimum) baseline of knowledge deemed necessary for the practitioner.

With that said, I find it interesting that in several of their recent decisions to force standards upon their member clubs that the SCYSA has seemed to be out of touch with the needs of clubs -- both large and small.

It's probably time to look into electing a new SCYSA board; however, it's only going to happen if people like you, "lurker", and others get their club board presidents to vote for alternate candidates.
