The Committee consists of Chairman, Secretary, Treasurer, Records Officer, Tournament Organisers, Coaching Coordinator, Equipment Officer, Match Organiser, SCAS Rep and a representative from each member club.
​
In addition, an Annual General Meeting is held once a year.
The business of the Association is governed by the Constitution.
