Student Athletic Association Application
Next year's SAA will be a committed group of students dedicated to promoting athletics and school spirit at Nelson. All applicants will be accepted, however, we will have high expectations of those involved. Next year's members will be required to: attend one lunch meeting every Wednesday (sometimes for the entire lunch); volunteer additional time in the team store, run intramurals, and flood light football games; volunteer at one bingo (Saturdays 11am - 3pm); attend an overnight team building and planning sessions in September (date TBD).
Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to be an athlete to be an SAA member. Often, it is actually better that SAA members are not on teams so that they are able to go out to games to cheer, take pictures, etc.
Co-Chairs - Alexa McBain and Issy Bilton
Secretary - Vanessa Leslie
General Member - These people will be the core of our SAA group. They will work to improve school spirit, athletic awareness, and student participation at Nelson. We will need members with a variety of experience and talent (students DO NOT need to be athletes, just interested in athletics). Depending on your strengths and interests, some responsibilities could include: taking pictures and videos of ALL Nelson teams; creating a year end video; updating athletic bulletin boards; updating the athletic website; finding and posting articles relating to Nelson athletics; planning, organizing and running intramurals; working in the team store; creating event posters; making exciting morning announcements; leading Nelson cheers.
