Motions for Athletics Leinster AGM

1) In relation to Club to Club transfers outside of the County in which your Club is affiliated within Leinster, the following shall be the manner in which all Juvenile transfers up to the age of 17 (competes U/18) will be dealt with:
· Cooling Off Period – There is to be a three month cooling off period from the date a Juvenile (aged up to 17 – competes U/18) athlete requests a transfer, at the end of which the Clubs and County Board(s) involved can look to accept the transfer request. An athlete may withdraw their transfer request at any stage within this three month cooling off period, however if they later put back in a transfer request (even within the initial three month cooling off period) the three month cooling off period starts again.
· Liaison Officer – Liaison Officers are to be appointed as soon as possible after a transfer request is received and will work with the Athlete(s), Parents, Clubs & County Board(s) involved during this three month cooling off period to discuss the pros and cons for the proposed transfer and will make a final recommendation to the Athlete(s), Parents, Clubs & County Board(s) involved. The Liaison Officers appointed must be acceptable to the Athlete(s), Parents, Clubs & County Board(s) involved.
· Transfer Window – The transfer window is to be set for one month each year with closing date being the 31st of August each year, whereby any transfer requests agreed during the previous twelve months can be processed. The 31st of May each year is set as the last date a transfer request can be presented to the County Secretary (as opposed to the County Board), so as to give sufficient time to allow the three month cooling off period to be imposed. Any transfer requests received after the 31st of May (while can be looked at) will only be processed (if accepted) on the 31st of August of the following year. 30 day stand down period to still apply after transfer request has been processed.
