Committee Reports:

District VI meeting: Postponed to next week.

Class I:  1 team dropped out, 4 remaining.

Metro -  We have 11 metro teams this year.  Some teams have been late in turning in trainer fees and late on turning in coaching licenses.

Tournament -  We’re not getting strong volunteer participation.  The U14 boys and girls groups are full.  The U16 group only has 4.  We’ll cancel by the end of next week if it doesn’t look like we’ll fill it. 

Coaching- Still need some coaches.  The first F clinic is tomorrow night.  Discussion on discount on registration fee for returning coaches, since it costs the league lots of time and energy to recruit and train new coaches every year.  Steve L moved to charge returning coaches only the $20 registration fee for their children.  Sophia 2nd.  Approved.  All coaches will be licensed by the end of July.  Steve L will check on whether there’s enough interest to have a Goal Keeper coaching clinic here.

Referee- For Metro/Class I, the head coach MUST have a referee license.  We’ll grant a one year waiver under appeal.  After that, the coach can’t coach.  Bob reported on the referee clinic in June.  17 passed. The July class is full.  There’s a new Level 9 clinic for recreation referees only, if we want to consider that.  Bob suggested the league decide on our policy regarding:  Yellow/Red carding coaches.  Slide Tackling.  Offsides in U10.  Substitution rules for U6-U10.  Bad throw-ins for U10 & below.  Jewelry.  Sleeves.  Uniform code (i.e. sweats, compression shorts, etc.)

Fields – The permits have been turned into Grass Valley.  We need to get the permits into Nevada City as a couple of the Metro/Class I teams are already practicing there.

Registration – Still coming in.  We should go back to the old dates next year, as the earlier dates conflicted with little league games.

New Business –Discussion around the need to establish some formal Metro/ Class I policies.  The club is growing and we encountered several problems this year.  We’ll circulate a policy from Elk Grove to use as idea generation only in order to write our own policy.  We’ll work on this section by section at board meetings with the intent of having a finished document in time for team/coach selection next year.

Discussion about the Checking account for Metro/Class I.  Bills dealing with standard operating expenses such as field use fees, printing, etc. are usually part Metro/Class I and part recreation, which is confusing.  Also, with increased field use fees, Metro/Class I expenses match registration income, so no money should be transferred to the Metro/Class I account this year.  Sophia moved that until Metro/Class I has other sources of income, their checking account should be used for training related fees only. Jeff 2nd.  Approved.

Dan K. proposed that we have one person responsible for purchasing.  He nominated Jeff.  Approved.

Meeting adjourned.
