President’s
Address
Randolph Harris
President
In keeping with the philosophy of the Barbados Football
Association, which is that we are not just existing to develop
this beautiful game, but to also mold the young minds of our
footballers in unity, camaraderie and discipline, the Board of
the Association has set about to empower its members.
From 2012 to present, we have systematically set about to
improve the management of this great organization in the
following areas;
During this Period under review the Board has instituted the
following;
1. Revamping of our Constitution, bringing it in line with
that of our International Partners; FIFA and CONCACAF.
1. Participation of a Beach Soccer National team in the FIFA
World Cup preliminary Competition, for the first time.
2. Reducing the number of Board members, thus making the
Executive a more manageable unit.
2. The introduction of a Youth and Women’s Futsal
Tournament.
3. Introduction of a player and competition management
system, which allows for online registration.
3. The Senior Women’s, U17 and U15, Senior Men’s, U20 and
U17 all participated in FIFA World Cup competition.
4. With the goal of having certified managers developing
our member Clubs technically, we introduced coaching
education, and I am now proud to report that with the
assistance of CONCACAF, we now have fifty eight (58) ‘D’
License coaches on the Island.
4. An active website with corresponding social media.
5. The introduction of a Disciplinary Code.
6. The introduction of a Code of Ethics.
7. The introduction of a Referees Code.
8. The introduction of a Finance Code.
9. The employment of a Technical Director.
10. The employment of a Referees Manager.
11. The employment of a Marketing Officer.
12. The part time employment of a Finance Officer.
By instituting the above, we have eliminated the ‘old boys’
network and privilege that existed in the BFA, prior to
2012, thus now giving way to new standards of ethics and
transparency.
5. Phase two of the Goal Project, the Association’s offices
and changing rooms, had been a challenge, but through
skilled negotiation, we were able to convince FIFA to
allow us to proceed. We are happy to inform you that this
stage has now been completed and that the building is
occupied and fully equipped.
6. The introduction of training of coaches and managers in
FIFA’s grassroots program and the collaboration in this
activity with schools and communities for girls and boys.
7. The reorganization of our Clubs’ structure by the licensing
of our Clubs through FIFA and CONCACAF. I am proud
to report that the Barbados Football Association is
being used as a model for the CONCACAF region, for the
efficient way in which we implemented this program.
8. Included our Premier League Clubs in our kit sponsor’s
negotiations.
The Board has applied for, and has been successful in
acquiring FIFA Goal Project three (3), the installation of
tower lighting, and bleacher stands under the FIFA Win – Win
programme which is a way of assisting Member Associations
to generate additional income.
We have also been awarded the performance programme,
which is for MAs who satisfy the requirements of good
governance as required by FIFA.
Annual Report 2015
The Executive Board
Furthermore, so far we have secured the following courses
from FIFA for 2016;
1. Administrative Course for Clubs.
2. FIFA Medical Diploma for Football injuries.
3. Referees Assistance Programme course
4. The Women’s Football Development Project, which
includes the financing of the following activities;
‘Live your Goals’ Project and Grassroots for women.
Competition and league development for ladies,
including a youth camp.
Coaching education – intermediate
Women’s football Administration
Are we perfect? Of course we are not. We were committed to
a comprehensive strategy for our FIFA World Cup drive, which
was derailed by our eviction from the tournament. However
we will not be daunted, we will recognize our mistakes and
pursue improvements in all facets of the local game.
Our finances have continued to be problematic. One of the
areas of concern is that the FIFA Assistance Programme
(FAP) of US$250.000, has been subsidizing our local and
international competitions,( which should be our main
revenue earners), courses and Seminars, as well as covering
the expenses of administration and maintenance.
The Board in an effort to be more self-sufficient, has
offered season tickets on sale to the public, as a means of
raising additional funds, and at the same time offering the
opportunity to our Member Clubs to benefit from this venture
by earning 25% of the sales to their supporters.
We must recognize that the FAP is not a right but a privilege,
we cannot continue to take it for granted, we must work
together for the success of the game of football.

Annual Report 2015
General Secretary’s Report
The Barbados Football Association continues to make
strides in its administration of football and the staff remains
dedicated to the cause.
In July 2015 the Secretariat moved into it spanking new
offices at the Wildey Sporting Complex after 105 years of
occupying space not directly owned by the BFA. This move
allows us to better serve our members in comfort. We have
installed a brand new computer server and computers which
now facilitates easier access to information.
In keeping inline with our mission statement which is: “to
provide an effective football delivery system” the secretariat
continues to strive to improve it communication and
marketing of the sport. To this end we have hired a full time
Marketing and Communications Officer, Ms Katrina Kirton,
who is in charge of our social media and communications
tools including our very active website. The website continues
to be the catalyst for communicating with our members who
are able now to register their players easily online, view their
fixtures for competitions, view results and standings. It also
acts as a distribution center for notices to clubs’ officials and
players.
In 2012 the BFA set about to bring a greater level of trust to
the association by transforming it finance practices. Several
measures have been put in place to ensure that all monies
are accounted for. Of recent we have hired Ms Shelly Griffith
as our Head of Finance to continue this process.
The revamping of our Statutes was a major milestone and
as a follow up to this the BFA has developed several policies
which will further streamline its overall governance. These
policies include a Disciplinary Code, and Ethics Code, a
Referees Code, a Finance Policy, a Human Resources Policy
and a Strategic Plan.
The CONCACAF Club Licensing process has seen some
80 clubs being licensed in 2015 with registration for all
participating during the season paid up by the end of
November. This is a first in the recent history of football. So
impressed were CONCACAF that our club licensing process

The Secretariat will continue to manage the BFA’s programmes
and provide a professional approach to the management of the
BFA’s competitions and workshops.

Welcome.
4.0 President Address
4.1 Mr. Harris extended thanks to all
of those who attended the meeting and
addressed the audience on the positives of
the Barbados Football Association (B.F.A.).
This included visits of FIFA Vice President,
Mr. Michel Platini who was also the UEFA
President as well as Mr. Jeffrey Webb,
President of CONCACAF. He indicated
that these visits were instructive and has
provided an opportunity for them to discern
the situation of the game here in regards to
facilities and other infrastructure needs.
Mr. Harris said that as a result, we have
received much needed assistance from
CONCACAF in the area of Marketing, Beach
Soccer, Grassroots, Coaching and Finance and
through their WIN in CONCACAF Programme.
The Chairman welcomed the appointments of
Ms. Joyce Stewart as General Secretary and Mr.
Marcos Falopa as Technical Director.
He acknowledged the guidance of Mr. Howard
McIntosh, FIFA’s Development Officer for the
region.
The President stated that the introduction of
the upgraded Statues as mandated by FIFA
since 2010 was a positive step in this new
direction.
The President also acknowledged Mrs. Sherrol
Austin for her herculean efforts while the
office was without a General Secretary and
presented her with a small token to show the
Board’s appreciation.
5.0 Minutes of the 2013 Annual General
Meeting
5.1 Mr. Lascaris queried a motioned from
the last AGM regarding the Barbados Cup.
The Chairman denied another motion on the
matter citing that it was already passed and
accepted by the body.
The Chairman indicated that he had agreed
that the Barbados Cup should be constituted
as a League. He said that he had a copy of the
Barbados Cup Constitution which said that
the Barbados Cup was a Federation and not
a League.
The chairman said that as the President of
the Barbados Football Association he was not
aware that the Barbados Cup was running any
kind of League other than the International
Tournament.
5.3 The motion for the adoption of the 2013
Minutes was moved by Mrs. Sylvia Darlington
and it was seconded by Mr. Gregory Thompson.
6.0 Matters arising from Minutes of 2013
Annual General Meeting
6.1 Page 11: Item 7.39 Mr. Donovan said
that this was a two part question. One (1) he
queried who where the three (3) individuals
that borrowed money from the Barbados
Football Association.
6.2 Mr. Harris said that he was not too sure
if they had borrowed the monies from the
Barbados Football Association, but that there
were outstanding sums owed by Mr. Hally
Haynes who was no longer a member of the
Barbados Football Association’s Executive. He
also said that Mr Charles Husbands who was
the Senior Assistant Secretary of the BFA, had
Annual Report 2015
an outstanding amount for the BFA which had
not been paid and that this was the second
Annual General Meeting and that was the
position at that time.
6.3 Mr. Donovan stated that it was the
second occasion on which he was speaking
on the matter and strongly believed that
any member of the Council sitting, who
owes the BFA money for two years and had
made no effort to repay, and continued
to sit on Council day in and days out had
enjoyed the benefits of the Council and had
made absolutely no effort to pay, something
seriously ought to be done to him or her. He
said a recommendation was made last year
to remove Mr. Haynes from the Council and
that he was not particularly happy with Mr.
Husbands in that particular case.
Mr. Donovan said that when he checked
the other pages Mr. Husbands record of
attendance at meetings and on the last page
of the Finance Statement, page 42, other loan
payables, it represented monies owed to the
BFA by Executive Council Members. He stated
that in his opinion that was not good enough.
Mr. Donovan brought a motion that the
Executive Council write Mr. Husbands a letter
stating it was not good enough or take the
matter to Coleridge Street I believe that Mr.
Husbands has a fixed set of money through
the Government every month.
6.4 The Chairman informed Mr. Donovan
that the BFA had written to both Mr. Husbands
and Mr. Haynes on no less than five (5)
occasions about the matter and they have
ignore the letters which were registered
and he believes it was a matter that had
been going on. The President stated that
the Council had not been firm in making
a decision on the matter. He said that the
situation was untenable. He stated that the
Annual General Meeting, was the highest
authority for the Football Association and that
I can make a decision on this.
6.5 Mr. Donovan informed the Chairman,
that he had raised the matter because of
three (3) members as far as he was aware the
third member was in the process of repaying
the monies that he owed the Council. He
stated that whilst on one hand a member
was repaying and the other members after
two years had not paid a cent. Mr. Donovan
said that he wanted closure on this matter
and that he didn’t want to come back again
in two years with this matter embarrassing
the Association. He stated that BFA was not a
lending institution.
6.6 The Chairman asked Mr. Donovan if
he wanted to make a motion. Mr. Donavan
responded yes. The Chairman granted him
permission to do so.
6.7 Mr. Donovan made the motion that the
BFA formally entertain taking legal action
against Mr. Husbands with regards to the
7
8
Annual Report 2015
outstanding sum.
6.8 The Chairman informed Mr. Donovan,
that under the BFA, FIFA and CONCACAF
Statutes that the BFA try and avoid that kind
of action, and that he preferred the matter to
be dealt with in house. The Chairman asked
the Treasurer to give a back ground on the
matter so that the members had a better idea
of what was going on.
6.9 Mr. Edwyn Wood, the Treasurer stated
that the invoice dated back to the 26 August
2010 for an airline ticket purchased by the
BFA for which the BFA was to be refunded
with 1. 5% per month to be added on the
reducing balance as interest charged was on
the ticket for the 60th FIFA Congress in South
Africa. The balance was $1640.16 Barbados
dollars.
He stated that Mr. Husbands was asked to
repay the money for a while, and that it was
now two years. Later he said that it was
raised at the last AGM and to date the BFA
has had no response, or any attempt to make
a payment plan.
He said that Mr. Husbands who sat as Senior
Assistant Secretary on the Council of the
BFA, as one of the officers of the BFA. Mr.
Wood stated that the BFA already had issues
attracting Sponsors for the BFA and that he I
believed that a motion should be floored to
remove Mr. Husbands from Council then. He
said that the BFA waited two years to have
$1600.00 settled and that it still had had no
suggestions from Mr. Husbands on any kind of
payment plan but that he had acknowledged
in the meeting that he knows about the
monies.
A motion was made by Mr. Wood for the
removal of Mr. Husbands from the Council and
the various Committees on which he sat.
6.10 The Chairman stated that there was
a motion on the floor, and asked if anyone
wanted to speak on it.
6.11 Mr. Castagne asked for a point of
clarification on item 7.40 whether he had
been on a vocation or vacation
6.12 The Chairman informed Mr. Castagne
that he didnt really know.
6.13 Mr. Castagne asked if the person was Mr.
Gittens or Mr. Husbands.
6.14 The Chairman said that he knew that
Mr. Gittens used $3500.00 from the BFA
under the pretext that he was attending a
Conference on the behalf of the BFA a week
after the 2012 AGM. He said that he was
elected President on September 30, 2012 and
that Mr. Gittens left on either the 3rd or 4th
of October without his knowledge or without
notifying him, even though the decision was
made before he was elected President but
he thought that this was disrespect at the
time. He said that he only found out after a
week had elapsed and he raised it with the
Executive Council because he realized that
Mr. Gittens did not attend the Conference as
stated said that he would like the monies
returned to the BFA. The Chairman said that
Mr. Husbands started to pay and it was two
years. He indicated that he was not sure of
the amount he has repaid so far but he knew
that he had made an attempt to repay the
monies.
The Chairman said that in the case of Mr.
Husbands and Mr. Haynes neither had made
an attempt to repay the monies even after
numerous letters were sent.
6.15 Mr. Greg Castagne asked if the BFA had
written to Mr. Husbands and if he had replied
in writing.
6.16 The Chairman said that we wrote him
and that he ignored all the letters and that
he had raised the other matter at least three
times at Council and at the AGM. He stated
that it was recorded in the minutes of 2013 of
his acknowledgement of the matter.
The motion was passed. 20 for; 2 against; 3
abstain.
6.17 Regarding Item 7.40, the Chairman
informed the General body that Mr. Gittens
has made an effort to repay the funds. He has
a balance of $1500.00
6.18 Mr. Callender continued. In light of that I
would like to move a motion that the General
body be allowed to vote and put guidelines in
place to disbar for breaches of distrust.
6.19 Mr. Porter made a query to whether Mr.
Gittens had been given a deadline for the
repayment or will the body see a balance the
next year or up to 2020. He said it appears
as if Mr. Gittens started paying monies two
weeks before the meeting.
6.20 The Chairman corrected Mr. Porter
in that Mr. Gittens had been paying in
increments. The last payment was $200.
There was no fixed deadline but in discussion
he said he would pay $500 per month. It was
agreed upon by the BFA.
6.21 Mr. Wood stated that the body have
been looking at this issue that Mr. Gittens
owe monies. But the real point was that
Mr. Gittens was a Junior Vice President of
the BFA, the 3rd highest position of the
BFA. Mr. Gittens had deceived the entire
Executive Council stating that he was going
to a meeting on behalf of the BFA and when
quizzed said that he went until afterward. He
stated that this was the person who would
run the Association if the 1st Vice President or
the President could not function.
He further stated that it was more along
the lines of integrity to the Association that
represents Barbados and that he honestly
believed that the BFA should look pass the
money issue and deal with the matter based
on integrity.
6.22 Ms. Sasha Sutherland stated that she
agreed in principle that persons representing
the BFA should have integrity. She said she
was making her point based on Mr. Basil
Gittens because she was at that meeting
when he spoke and that she believes from
your making decisions then and the people
were not getting the entire picture. She
stated that from what Mr. Gittens indicated at
the meeting, while not defending anyone, he
had said that he went with the intention to
attend the Conference but a personal matter
had come up, that a friend died etc, she said
that she was not miscounting the fact that
integrity is needed but in this case it was not
that the money was borrowed and that the
person made an arrangement to repay. She
stated that the entire picture is needed.
6.23 The Chairman queried whether
Mr. Gittens was present. Ms. Sutherland
responded he was not.
6.24 The Chairman said that he will wait Mr.
Gittens arrival and that he would deal with
the matter.
6.25 Mr. Erskine Simmons stated that that
was exactly the point that he was making
before and that is why he said that he was
satisfied only to a point. He also said that I fa
ticket is issued by FIFA or whoever individuals
should know that Council had decided that
there are no changes full stop. That way the
BFA won’t have this problem.
6.26 Mr. Fredrick Grant stated that he
was in agreement with Mr. Simmons and
believed that EXCO members should be
disbarred because if nothing was done, they
would continue to make a mockery of the
Association and set a dangerous premise for
future Council members.
6.27 Mr. Husbands arrived at the meeting.
The Chairman informed Mr. Charles Husbands
that the matter on item 7.39 in the minutes
had once again raised its head. The matter of
the funds owing to the BFA by him, was raised
by a member and the BFA had notified him
that it had written Mr. Husbands a number
of times about it, to which he had never
responded, but he had responded at the AGM
in 2013 when Mr. Hunte made the statement
that this money was owed to the BFA.
The Chairman said that a motion was
made there at the AGM that Mr. Husbands
be debarred from holding office of the BFA
and it was passed 20 votes for; 2 against
with 3 abstentions. The Chairman asked Mr.
Husbands if he wanted to address the body.
6.28 Mr. Charles Husbands accepted and
stated that there were some inaccuracies
and that the Chairman was well aware that
an Attorney wrote the BFA on his behalf
and he also wrote the BFA and that he was
90 percent sure that Mr Chairman had the
correspondence.
6.29 The Chairman informed Mr. Husbands
that a motion was made in his absence as
he was late for the meeting and that he was
allowing him to address the body.
He also stated that he had not received any
letter from any Attorney or from Mr. Husbands
concerning the particular issue. He said he
had received a letter from Mrs. Darlington, Mr.
Basil Gittens and Mr. Husbands about an issue
of $60,000 or US$30,000 which was spent on
a program that FIFA conducted in Barbados.
He said that he made certain allegations
that the money was misused and that to date
about $16,000 had not been accounted for.
The Chairman stated that as far as the
current matter was concerned, they had dealt
with this issue at the AGM and the former
Treasurer, Mr. Curtis Hunte had confirmed that
Mr. Husbands used the money and it is owed
to the BFA. He stated that the auditor in his
audit can confirm that the BFA accepted the
audit that Mr. Husbands and Mr. Hally Haynes
owed a sum of money arising out of a trip to
South Africa.
6.30 Mr. Husbands stated that it was incorrect
as facts put on the table. He said that the BFA
was written a letter surrounding the matter.
He stated that he was scheduled to go South
Africa as one of the representatives. When he
got the airport he had only one passport and
his VISA was in another, so he was unable to
get on the flight. He came back home. Mr.
Sherlock Yarde who was the acting President
as Mr. Ronald Jones was on the flight. He said
that he told Mr. Yarde that he did not have my
VISA so, he couldn’t go. He said that Mr. Yarde
told him to call the Treasurer and organise for
a ticket to go.
He indicated that Mr. Harris saw him and
told him that he wanted the money that he
borrowed from the BFA and that he told him
that he never borrowed any money from the
BFA and that is the nature of the matter. Mr.
Husbands said that he found it ironic that a
motion was passed without giving him the
opportunity to present his case.
6.31 The Chairman asked Mr. Husbands to
have a seat and informed him that the matter
was raised with him present in 2013. He said
that the Auditor was here and the Auditor can
confirm that you owed the BFA. The Chairman
said that he didn’t know if he borrowed it,
Annual Report 2015
but that he came last year and the Financial
Statement was bought before the body,
someone from the floor had raised the matter,
and he wasn’t aware of it and when someone
queried the outstanding balances in the
Financial Statement they said that they were
made to understand that Council Members
owed the BFA money. He stated that it was
raised by Mr. Husbands at the AGM and at
Council on more than one occasion. The
President said that he was saddened that Mr.
Husbands would try to infer that the Members
of the Executive Council including him would
‘’rig up’’ this matter to put you in trouble.
6.32 Mr. Jerry Nurse asked what the amount
was owed to the BFA by the two individuals.
He was told $3100. He stated that he would
bring the amount to the office Monday or
Tuesday to settle the debt citing that they had
done a lot for football in Barbados.
6.33 The Chairman queried, Mr. Nurse on
what the payment of the loans would have
change.
6.34 Mr. Nurse said that it would change
nothing, but would clear the amount from the
books.
6.35 Mr. Erskine Simmons stated that it has
left a bad taste in his mouth and hopes that
the Executive Council would put some serious
methods in place to ensure that this would
not happen again.
6.36 Mr. John Brathwaite asked if the
payment of funds were paid by Mr. Nurse, if
the motion still stays.
6.37 The Chairman stated the payment of
the funds and the motion which was passed
were two different items and that he got the
impression that Mr. Nurse only wanted to help
the BFA.
7.0 Consideration and Adoption of the
Executive Council’s Annual Report
7.1 The Chairman queried if there were any
additions, omissions or corrections.
7.2 Correction to be made on page 14 as it
relates to the Division One Standing. Mr. Mark
Forde, from the Referees Department said that
the present standing has Maxwell with 23
points and Clarkes Hill on 20. It should read
Clarkes Hill on 23 points.
7.3 The Chairman asked Mr. Forde for an
explanation to be given to the body as to why
this happened.
7.4 Mr. Forde said that a match between
Clarkes Hill and Bagatelle went before
the Tournament Committee. At the time of
compiling the stats, the BFA did not have the
reports as to the assigning of the points. The
match did not play the full time as a Referee
was assaulted. The Tournament Committee
awarded the match to Clarkes Hill.
7.5 Ms. Lisa Bannister from Youth Milan
stated that they had an ongoing problem
with a game against St. John Sonnets in
the first round which did not play due to St.
John Sonnets saying the field was not fit for
play. However, the second match was played.
Even though the 2nd round had started this
match was still outstanding. To compound
it even further there were problems with
communication and a shortage of fields
coming on to the end of the season. The first
round never played. Ms. Bannister indicated
that Youth Milan wanted to be awarded the
points.
7.6 The Chairman informed her that he
could not award the points to Youth Milan.
He advised that the Fixture and Tournament
Committees deals with these matters and
would give Mr. Mark Forde the opportunity to
answer this query.
7.7 Mr. Forde said the problem was that this
match was scheduled on several occasions
and there were communication issues. He
indicated that the Tournament Committee
took the view that the game did not have any
direct bearing on the Standings since St. John
Sonnets were already demoted and Youth
Milan would not benefit from the points to
put them in contention for any of the first
three places
7.8 The Chairman had queried whether this
decision was communicated to both teams.
7.9 Mr. Forde indicated that it was to be
communicated to both St. John Sonnets and
Youth Milan but he was not sure if it was
done.
7.10 The Chairman expressed apologies to
Youth Milan on the behalf of the BFA and
hoped that the explanation given is accepted
in good faith as the points do not affect the
demotion or promotion for Division One. The
Chairman added that the standings remain as
is so that everybody would be satisfied.
7.11 Mr. Forde requested that the points
standings be updated showing teams which
did not parade.
7.12 The Chairman stated for a matter of
interest, that in Women’s Football, we sent the
National U15 team to the CONCACAF Women’s
Tournament. We did not perform very well as
most of the young ladies were never exposed
to competition at that level. The Chairman
indicated that plans were being put in place
to keep them together and they will become
the U17 Women’s for next year and onward.
The Chairman indicated that he had spoken
to the Technical Director regarding training
development programmes for them and the
9
10
Annual Report 2015
Women’s Coaches.
7.13 Ms. Sasha Sutherland indicated that the
Women’s Report that was included was not
the final draft. Ms. Sutherland requested that
the final copy be emailed to all the clubs.
7.14 The Chairman confirmed that this would
not be a problem. It was noted that the report
was edited and some pertinent information
was omitted.
7.15 On page 20 of the report which related
to Youth Football, Mr. David Porter pointed
out that U9 Kickstart ended up with the same
points (19) as Pro Shottas but lost on goal
difference which was shown as 16.
7.16 A query was made as to why the MVP
in the Women’s League did not make the
National Team
7.17 The Chairman stated that the MVP
is selected by a team of persons. He also
indicated that because you are the MVP does
not mean that you will automatically make
the team. There are several reasons why a
player may not be selected.
7.18 Ms. Sutherland stated that in this
instance the player had some challenges and
advised that she did not wish to play.
7.19 Page 16 Ms. Sutherland requested that
the report not be accepted as is, pending the
acceptance of the full edited version being
provided to the clubs.
7.20 The Chairman stated that the minutes
will highlight Ms. Sutherlands’ concerns about
the edited version.
7.21 A question was posed regarding the
structural program and regularity of referees
training.
7.22 The Chairman extended to Mr. Barney
Callender, the Chairman of the Barbados
Football Referees Association to answer this
question.
7.23 Mr. Callender stated that the Referees
meet every Sunday at 630a.m. at the Turf for
training.
7.24 He also stated that in general, Referees
are under scrutiny by the public. And the
public is not aware of what goes on behind
the scenes to get them ready. We advised
that practical and theoretical sessions are
conducted about four times a year. Mr.
Callender advised that the program which is
in place has produced good referees but we
have to realize everyone is on different stages
of learning curve and persons should look at
the positives that come out of the programme.
Mr. Callender gave the example of the young
lady who will be going on the FIFA list shortly.
He also mentioned that Referees travel
regionally and internationally officiating
games which you may not be aware of. Mr
Callender indicated that more Referees were
needed to service tournaments or we will see
an overworking of those currently in place.
7.26 The Chairman informed members
that the project had commenced and that
the office should be relocated sometime in
November. He further advised that the BFA
was approved for a FIFA Income Generating
Project which includes seating. He also
informed the meeting that the 3rd phase
would be lighting.
7.27 Mr. Cassius Taitt commented that outside
of the Goal project, he would like to see the
members doing more to help themselves.
7.28 The Chairman thanked Mr. Taitt for his
comments.
7.29 A well wisher congratulated the BFA for
the work being done at the Astroturf. He also
stated that he would like to see the BFA and
NSC working together in getting the usage
of other venues around the island as there is
always conflict between cricket and football.
7.30 The Chairman informed the body that
the BFA has an excellent working relationship
with the NSC and that footballers needed to
lend a hand to assist with the preparation of
the grounds.
Mr. Greg Castagne moved a motion that the
Executive Council’s Report be accepted and
it was seconded by Mr. Kenville Layne. The
motion was passed with one abstention.
8.0 CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION OF
THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
8.1 Mr. Winston Waithe, representative of
Auditors, Brian F. Griffith & Co., Chartered
Accountants read the Auditor’s Report dated
26th September 2014.
8.2 Mr. Edwyn Wood, the BFA Treasurer
presented the Statement of the Financial
position of the Barbados Football Association.
8.3 Ms. Sutherland queried the amount
spent on Women’s football in the tune of $60,
613.
8.4 Mr. Wood explained that it was used for
accommodation, meals and airfare. He also
stated that the BFA received some funds from
the National Sports Council.
8.5 Another query was made on why the
players were not given a stipend while
management was given as well as the large
amount paid for insurance.
8.6 The Chairman explained that as
it relates to the insurance, every person
registered with the BFA regardless to men or
women were insured and paid in a lump sum.
The Chairman also stated that the BFA was
not in a strong enough financial position to
give stipends to players but contingencies
were given to management in the event if
there were any unforeseen circumstances.
8.7 Ms. Lisa Bannister raised the question
on the receivables regarding the high figure
and wanted to know how old the receivables
were, and if they were recoverable and in
addition, what the BFA were going to do
about collecting as well as if we have a Public
Relation person in place.
8.8 She was informed that Arawak payment
listed dated back to 2010. There was no
formal agreement in place and when the BFA
tried to collect the money the persons who
dealt with sponsorship were no longer there
nor could any written agreement be found.
The Chairman stated that there is no Public
Relations person in place but there was a
committee to oversee this.
8.9 Mr. Castagne queried the amount listed
under the youth tournament and said that all
figures pertaining to youth should be linked
under that one heading.
8.10 It was explained to Mr. Castagne that the
figure of $4100 represents rental of grounds,
purchase of minor stuff etc.
8.11 The Treasurer make reference to page
36 for an account of income and expense.
8.12 An individual said that he did not see
the logic for insurance if it was not covering
small bills.
8.13 The Chairman explained that most
insurance company had a deductible clause
in their contract similar to car insurance. He
said the BFA was getting a deal for $13.00
per player and that if a lower deductable was
sought the cost of the insurance is likely to be
higher.
8.14 Mr. Erskine Simmons queried if the
$13.00 was per annum.
8.14 The Chairman responded yes, that it
covers a year.
8.15 A motion was moved by Ms. Sherphine
Howell and seconded by Mr. Caveton
Greenidge to adopt the Audited Financial
Statements. It was unanimously carried.

13.8 The Chairman stated that Mr. Husbands
had been given five chances and never did
anything about it.
13.9 Mr. Erskine Simmons said that procedure

given the opportunity of due diligence.
13.10 The Chairman acknowledged Mr.

The Chairman also said the person or body
in question has the right in his or its own
defence if the motion for dismissal is upheld
and stated that the AGM or Executive Board

majority of 2/3 of the valid votes are required.

Facilities Committee Report
Youth Committee Report
The facilities committee’s main focus for the past year was on
the achievement of its goal to complete the Phase 2 of the
FIFA Goal Project at Wildey. Regular on site meetings were
convened with the contractor to ensure that targets were
met and to minimize any delays. Despite some challenges the
works were completed and the building handed over during
July 2015.
A new approach was taken for the 2015 Barbados Football
Association Youth Tournament. Without a title sponsor, the
reserves of the BFA were called in to action. There were
numerous meetings held by the youth committee now under
a newly appointed chairman. The committee was reduced in
size according to FIFA’s mandate.
Capt. Al Walcott - Chairman
The building is a timely resource to the BFA operations
housing the administrative offices, player’s changing rooms, a
referee’s room and a medical examination room. The complex
will be enhanced through the FIFA Win Win program with
the installation of bleacher seating for approximately One
thousand, eight hundred and forty –five (1845) persons and
state of the art lighting system through the FIFA Goal 3
project. The BFA is awaiting assistance from the government
in the waiver of duties and taxes where eligible.
The future development for the complex will comprise of
landscaping and developing a terraced seating area on
the northern end, and the erection of a perimeter wall and
entrance gate.
The Wildey Artificial Turf is in excellent condition with a
regular maintenance schedule being enforced.
Gregory Thompson - Chairman
Designated venues were allocated across all the age groups
with matches fixtured to allow for greater spectatorship.
The venues used were: Under 9’s at Banks, Under 11’s at
Barclays, Under 13’s at Blenheim and Deacons, Under 15’s
at Bayland and Lumber Company and the Under 17’s at
Eden Lodge and Wildey Artificial Turf. The Pine ground was
also used as an alternative venue for the Under 15 age
group. For the first time, Venue Coordinators were appointed
for the various venues and this allowed for a smoother
tournament. Committee members were fully involved in
the day to day running of the tournament, with this active
participation, allowing for any matters arising to be dealt with
expeditiously.
There was an increase in the number of teams taking part in
the tournament. This corresponded to a forty percent (40%)
increase in the number of active players taking part across all
age groups. All youth players were issued with Identification
cards and added to the General Secretariat’s database where
their progress in football can be monitored.
Also in addition, the Technical Director, along with the
Committee Chairman, visited several youth clubs across
the island conducting coaching clinics and imparting much
needed technical assistance to their coaching staff.

Annual Report 2015
Women Committee Report
Some one hundred and twenty (120) girls between the ages
of 5 – 14 participated, which was held at Wildey Complex.
Awards were presented in different categories.
Girls Grassroots Programme
In the Women’s Development Program for 2014 – 2015, the
BFA had identified five (5) days for grassroots festivals to
be held. The response to the first two festivals were very
positive and we were able to conduct five (5) major ones at
the Wildey Complex and at the Blenheim playing field.
Major strides were made this last year as it relates to the
women’s football in the country. Having recognized that
the development is an integral part of our football, the BFA
sought to implement programs at varying levels of the game.
The year was a very active one for women’s football at all
levels but mainly in the areas of coaching education and
grassroots football.
Coaching Courses
Having recognized the need for more female coaches, the BFA
conducted a women’s coaching course which was presented
by Technical Director Marcos Falopa. Thirty (30) females
participated which included present and former National
players and physical education teachers.
The first grassroots course was conducted by two CONCACAF
Officials for thirty participants and among this group were
five females. This course laid the foundation for the first
girl’s grassroots festival which was conducted by most of the
female coaches who took part in the two previous courses.
There were approximately one hundred and ten (110) in
attendance ranging from ages 5 – 12. The enthusiasm shown
by coaches and participants was high.
Later in the year four females were successful in obtaining
the CONCACAF ‘’D’’ Licence – Kerry Trotman, Clair Evelyn,
Alanna King and Shonelle Stephens.
Seminars
National coach Thomas Jordan attended a regional coaching
workshop in Canada June 6th -17th. Deputy Chairman Nicole
Puckerin accompanied General Secretary Edwyn Wood to a
Women’s Symposium from July 1st- 7th in Canada.
CONCACAF Women’s Day
May 23rd was designated as CONCACAF Women’s Day. Each
MA were requested to plan an event for the day based on
guidelines from CONCACAF. The BFA chose a Grassroots
Festival and a 5 v 5 tournament.
Eight (8) grassroots sessions as a result of the growing
popularity were held at Primary Schools around the Island.
Once again the coaches who participated in the grassroots
course assisted.
The festivals allowed the BFA to keep a running database of
all the attendees which was used to contact them to inform
them of upcoming activities. In addition some of these young
ones were encouraged to join clubs of their choice.
Women’s League
The introduction of running the Women’s League
simultaneously with the Men’s Premier League was tried
but suffered from a lack of media coverage. UWI took the
honours this time around as former champions NSC had to
settle for second position. Five (5) teams only took part this
year due to the non-participation of Empire and Technique. It
is hoped that these teams would return for the 2016 season.
Plans for 2016 Season
• Grassroots Clinics Feb – December
• FIFA Coaching Course Women’s (Intermediate) April
• Grassroots Festival – May, June, September, October and
November
• Women’s Football Administration Course – June
• Grassroots & Elite Summer Camps – July/August
• Women’s League – September- November
• Futsal Competition - July August
Organizing Committee Report
Ashton Chapman - Chairman
Annual Report 2015
Technical Committee Report
Empowering local coaches with the latest coaching
methodologies was high on the priority list for the BFA. To
this end the Association sought to raise the level of coaching
on the island by undertaking an aggressive approach in the
area of coaching education.
For the first time ever CONCACAF offered a ‘D’ Licence course
and the BFA applied and were able to offer three of these
courses.
The Organizing Committee held three (3) meetings during the
season; mainly to ascertain that the fixtures met the approval
of the Executive Board and the member clubs. Some of
the members volunteered to collect match scores and keep
records (their personal) of the standings of specific divisions/
leagues.
The season commenced on February 1st 2015. The late start
of the season, the time taken by the Football Committee
to address all the default or uncompleted matches and the
constant postponement/re fixture of matches, resulted in the
season being uncomfortably extended to late July.
Our World Cup engagements also forced the committee to
postpone/re fixture several premier league matches. Neverthe-less, the postponements resulted in those stronger teams
(most National players) climaxing the season, much to the
delight of the fans.
The Organising Committee was faced with a number of Youth
clubs requesting entry to the youth annual competition
after the start. As much as the BFA places pride on the
development of youth in the competition, there were too
many such late requests. A few clubs also registered and
then withdrew. These situations present challenges in the
organizing of fixtures and the timely distribution of the same.
The Organizing Committee Plans for the 2016 Season
The Premier League will play on Saturdays and Sundays.
(The implementation was welcomed by all clubs)
The Season will start early. (now January 3rd , thus
avoiding Crop Over activities)
The Astro Turf will be made available for the entire
season.
The Organizing Committee is requesting that the fans, players
and club officials continue to show their appreciation for the
notions, energy and dedication which this organization has
given to the development of this sport.
Some seventy six (76) coaches were successful in obtaining
the ‘D’ licence. Much emphasis was placed in the area of
grassroots football which saw sixty (60) coaches participating
in the two grassroots courses that were offered.
It is recommended that at the start of the 2017 season, all
Premier League and Division One coaches would be licenced
coaches.
Courses Offered During the Period Under Review
‘D’ Licence Course – CONCACAF 10th – 13th Nov 2014
‘D’ Licence Course – CONCACAF 24TH 27TH Sept 2015
‘D’ Licence Course – CONCACAF 7TH – 11TH Dec 2015
Beach Soccer Course – CONCACAF 20TH – 23rd Nov 2015
Goal Keeping Course – CONCACAF 21st – 23rd May 2015
Grassroots Course – FIFA 14TH – 18TH Jan 2015
Grassroots Women’s Coaching Course – FIFA 14th – 18th April 2015
BFA Women’s ‘D’ Course – BFA 11, 12, 20, 21 Feb 2015
Without a doubt the interest shown towards the courses
offered were well received with some courses being
oversubscribed.
It is the intention of the BFA to continue to offer as many as
our coaches and administrators to the highest standards as
possible.
This year the BFA has applied to offer two other ‘D’ licence
courses as well as a ‘C’ licence course. In addition new
courses in the area of administration and medical as well
as one for perspective match commissioners will be held
between March – April 2016.
The emphasis on grassroots football will continue with seven
(7) festivals being planned and monthly clinics at schools and
in the communities.

Referees Committee Report
Barney Callender - Chairman
The 2015 season began at the Barbados Football Association
(BFA) Artificial Turf at Wildey with pre-season training, where
most of the active referees were involved in physical and
technical drills.
All FIFA Referees were appointed to various international
tournaments in the Caribbean and North and Central America.
Tonia Deane was appointed to the FIFA list as a female
Assistant Referee in 2015. This appointment now gives
Barbados three female officials on FIFA list.
Referee Development
The development of referees continued throughout the year
with much emphasis on the younger referees. One Male
referee, and four Male ARs and two female ARs are presently
earmarked for future development. The Referee Committee
along with the technical and physical instructors continue to
assist in the improvement of all referees who officiate in the
BFA tournament. There is continuous assessment of referees
in the Premier League and other divisions which contribute to
the growth and improvement of referees.
Recruitment
The Referee beginner’s course was held at the Barbados
Olympic Association and was facilitated by MA Instructors
Barney Callender, Mark Forde and Sherlock Wall. Twenty eight
(28) recruits took the final examination and twenty five were
successful. Most of the successful recruits officiated in the
2015 BFA Youth Football Competition and Schools League
Football. There was one outstanding recruit, Kevon Clarke,
who was able to officiate as an Assistant Referee in the 2015
Premier League.
Training
Training of referees remains a main priority for the Physical
and Technical instructors of the Referees Committee. Physical
and technical training sessions were conducted every Sunday
at 7:00 am at the BFA Artificial Turf and these sessions
were supervised mainly by MA Instructor Andrew Belgrave
and Barney Callender, with assistance from Beverley Grant.
These sessions were complemented by three (3) workshops.
During these breakfast workshops, lectures on report writing,
examinations on the laws of the games, trivia and video
analysis were conducted.
In preparation for the 2016 season, four workshops were
conducted, specifically for only premier league referees. These
sessions focused on critical areas of refereeing e.g. teamwork, reading the game, anticipation, fitness and positioning.
All FIFA referees were tested on three occasions by MA
Physical Instructor Andrew Belgrave and one occasion by FIFA
physical instructor Allan Brown. All of the FIFA Referees along
with other talented referees who are earmarked for the FIFA
list, passed the required standard.

Disciplinary Board Report
Richard Lavine - Chairman
The Disciplinary Board (Richard Lavine- Chairman; Mark
Gittens - Secretary, Michael Murray, Anthony Jordan, Alphonzo
Carew and Caveton Greenige) dealt with a number of cases
through the period of July 2014 to February 2016 ranging
from violent conduct, using abusive language, serious foul
play, showing dissent and bringing the games into disrepute.
The Board would like to reiterate the importance of good
report writing as these have an impact on how some cases
are adjudicated. Too many occasions important information is
inadvertently left out.
We wish to extend our thanks to the Secretariat and the
Referees’ Department for all the assistance and support
given over the past year and we look forward to a reduction
incidents in 2016. Much praise must also be extended to the
