NEW BUSINESS:

  • Mark Remedios reported that while there are only two U10 Boys teams interested in playing during the spring season, that he would like to give those boys the opportunity to play.  Mark is willing to conduct a mini-camp and hold scrimmages, but this requires Board approval.  The Board agreed that this would be acceptable.  Mary Ward will email Cheryl Guthrie and request that she email U9 and U10 Boys to see who is interested in a clinic/scrimmage.  Will also email other coaches to see about others who can help.
  • Darin Pool came to offer training to Mod coaches.  Many Select coaches are willing to help MOD coaches with 1 – 2 hour clinics.  Mod coaches can contact Darin at dpool@djimprints.com
  • FWSA has hired Rob Walker to be the Director of Coaching.  His resume can be found online.  We will try to get him on the agenda for either the April or May meeting.
  • The April meeting will be moved to April 3 due to Spring Break.
  • We are still without a Fundraiser Coordinator, which will mean a mandatory buy-out resulting in increased fees for the Fall.

 

GOOD OF THE GAME:

  • The Soccer Fair is being held at the Tacoma Convention Center on April 8.


 Meeting adjourned at 8:05PM.  Minutes respectfully submitted by Sally Boyer-White
