Reports

 

President:

 

Dean had sent e-mail to Abney about his concerns about the Boys High School coaches and their favoritism towards Northern Soccer Club.  He was also concerned that the boysÕ high school coaches were coaching for Northern SC and therefore they violate NMAA rules.  Dean felt that he had made his points and that we were not going to pursue this any further. 

Chad wondered what is happening with the boys high school players and Joanne thought that we might have one younger team (U15/U16) and Northern might get two teams.

 

Risk Manager / Vice President: 

 

No report.

 


Treasurer:

 

The financial report was distributed and net income is $1,371,38 as of 11/28/05.  After some discussion, Chad moved to approve the financials and John seconded the motion.  The motion carried.

 

Recreational Team Registrar:

 

We have received Risk Management cards from NMYSA and the coordinators will distribute them to the coaches. 

We also discussed recreational uniforms and to add a permission box on the recreational form so we can add pictures of players to the newsletter and our web site.

 

Recreational Coordinator:

 

We will distribute flyers to the schools before Christmas break.  Dean would get Amy the number of kids at each elementary school. 

Karl needs to get a copy of our non-profit status (501(c) 3) letter to the schools. 

The first practice for recreational will be the week of March 13 and the last game will be the week of May 13. 

 

Advanced Team Coordinator Report:

 

We have three new teams for the spring.  The teams consist of High School girls and the age groups are U-15, U-17 and U-18.  Mike Kluk and Cindy Lawton will coach the U-15 team, Ron Nakioka will coach the U-17 and Cindy Lawton will coach the U-18 team.  If we get enough boys for a team, John Miller will be the coach and Jiri Kubicek will be the assistant coach.

Joanne distributed the Blast-Off financial report.

 

Referee Coordinator: 

 

There was some discussion on ensuring that we had licensed referees on the field.  We also discussed jewelry and that we need to continue to inform everyone that jewelry cannot be worn during practice or games.

In addition, we discussed play-ups and can play-ups only be 1 year?  NMYSA rules do not restrict play-up to only 1 year.
