OLD BUSINESS –

            Discussion of Policy Revisions

U6-U8: Talked about strong vs. weak teams in the age categories – how can we best deal with them?  Maybe on their registration forms, there could be some sort of wording such as: “For scheduling purposes, how would you rate your team?”

 

We need a note in the coaches’ books with comments about running up the score – some options, including the possibility of practicing other skills.

NEW BUSINESS:    

Spring League - Schedule/Will we be playing on Mother’s Day?  Dates will be April 23 – Jun.  Note to Sharon – Please put in red, on website – “IT is optional to play on Mother’s or Father’s Day – what’s your team’s choice?”

 

            Deadline for coaches’ packets is March 1st to the Coordinators.

 

Fees: Last year it was $45 for U7 & U8, $50 for U9 & U10.  The Refs are adding $2 per game, plus United is hiring a coaching director; there is a potential for MOD to be paying a portion of that salary.  Should we raise fees by $5 per player? We cannot vote on that, as we do not have a quorum.    The recommendation is for $50 - U7 & U8, $55 for U9 & U10.  Heather will send out an email for vote via email. 

 

Remember that if you practice on a field with no permission, you are not covered by our insurance, and the coach can be personally sued.

 

 

Please remember to vote tomorrow for the school levy.

 

 

Meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m.  Minutes respectfully submitted by Sam Rengstorff.

 

The next meeting is the AGM, Monday, February 13, 2006 at 6:45 p.m., at the Federal Way Regional Library.  All regular meetings are scheduled for the second Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Federal Way Round Table Pizza.
