MANAGER’S REPORT:

·         Reminder about the core of 11, up to age group U14.  Be careful on team selection to make sure you have a core of 11. 

·         Be careful about signing up for tournaments with a new team until August 1st.  Can have up to 3 guest players, with a roster of 18.    This affects San Francisco Cup, Surf Cup and Cal Cup.  This is an established USYSA rule which district VI has not been following.  This will most likely be discussed in the next playing league meeting.

·         There has been a committee formed in District VI to take up sideline behavior policy.  One policy that seems to have been successful has been to put the parents on the opposite sideline from the kids. 

·         Referee assigning policy – the district is attempting to put together a district wide policy on this process.

·         PR90’s and releasing players – there seems to be a bigger draw for our kids to go to other clubs.  What is the stance of our club on this issue? A lot of discussion on what other clubs have been doing.  It seems that different clubs are not releasing kids at all.  After a long discussion, it was decided that our club would continue to support the releasing of players as we have done in the past.

·         Discussion on releasing players brought up the question as to why are players want to leave in the first place?   

·         Paul Freudenberg has generously offered to financially assist the club.  The question is to how to use this assistance to the best of the clubs benefit.

·         Discussion on the possibility of a new field.

·         Discussion on bridging the gap between select and comp.  The coaches need to work together for this to be successful.

·         Discussion on setting up a clinic before try outs to encourage participation in tryouts and publicize the club.

·         Tournament needs to also be better organized.

·         Talked about team involvement from parents.

·         Discussed setting up a mechanism on the web site to allow parents to e-mail comments/input to the board.

·         Another suggestion was made to create a flyer for the registration process which will provide information about the web site.

 

GIRL’S V.P.

U10G – enough girls have shown up for a team.  The question will be whether there will be enough teams in the league to play against.  We will know by March 27th if there will be a league or not.  Then a coach can be selected.
