TEAM REPORTS

   Tournament was nice.  U18’s venue went great.  Not having a complex may have hampered the turnout.   Each team was given the option to set up the snack bar and sell t-shirts.   The goal is to expand the tournament next year, but will we have the fields.  Cherry Island may be an option for the El Dorado tournament next year @ $100.00 a field per day. 

 

   Kyle Sheldon had an issue with a center referee that was 14 was refereeing the U15 Girls. The coordinator confirmed that he was 14 and that the center must be the same age.  The referee coordinator was belligerent and refused to give the card to Kyle.  The same referee then centered the U16 game that followed.  Discussion was that the center referee must be a minimum of 2 age groups above the team playing. 

 

 Competitive there must be a 3 referee system.  If there is not the coach has the right to “not play”.

 

   Dave wants Tom to discuss with the Playing league with non-league game.  Do these non-league games count?  Do these teams have to play these games if they are rescheduled or cancelled?

 

    No District Challenge cup this year.
