Clubs are elected as members of a League at the Annual General Meeting (SCOR/Y 8.A.3).
Any Club meeting the criteria and deadlines set out in Rule 4(A) of League Rules must be put forward for membership at the AGM.
Role of the Management Committee
The League Management Committee can interview applicants to ask them questions about their membership and application ahead of the AGM, and can inform League members if they support or oppose the application.
The Management Committee does not, however, have the right to approve or reject an application on behalf of the League members.
Application Process
We recommend Leagues adopt a standard application process and/or application form for new members seeking to join the League. This may include basic Club information such as number of members, ground hire agreements, etc. This information can be shared with member Clubs ahead of the AGM.
Clubs applying for membership should be invited to attend the AGM to put forward their application in person and answer any questions from member Clubs regarding their application.
