E.  Acceptance of Minutes of the previous AGM – John Woodford moved to approve, Matt Addiego 2nd.  Approved

 

F.  Reports:          Coaching:  All coaches were licensed this year except for the last four we added.  We have local qualified instructors.  There was 1 E clinic and 2 F clinics.  Next year                                                we’re planning a Goalkeeper coaching clinic.

 

                                    Referee:  We also have local qualified instructors for referee clinics.  We had 108 registered referees.  66 were active.  There will be 2 clinics next year and 2 refresher classes.  Coaches will be invited to come to the refresher course (3-4 hours) to learn the basic laws of the game.  Referees should always attend the refresher courses each year.

                       

            Class I:  Our goal is to have one team in every age group.  This year we had U10, U11, U12 & U13 boys.  Over the next couple of years we hope to get some girls                        teams.

           

            Metro:  We had 11 teams.  10 of the 11 are going to District Cup.  The U10 team is going to Soccerfest.  3 of the rec. teams are going to either District Cup or                    Soccerfest.  We had our first local tournament this year.  We had 22 teams attend.  We’re scheduled for 40 next year.  We need volunteers to help.  1 local team took             3rd (U16 girls) & 1 local team took        4th (U14 Boys).  We have full time trainers available to work with the rec.             teams.

 

            Fields:  Almost all of the fields are now charging us for both practice & games.  We need more volunteer time & labor.  We’ll set up a field committee to address grants,              etc. to expand our available fields.  We used             10 fields for games.  Mulcahey might be available next fall.  There was a suggestion to have the board consider a                                 motion to officially restrict the field development funds, so future board members would have a record of the intent of the money. Also suggestion to look at                                 USSF for grants.

 

            Secretary:  5000 hits on the rec. website & 2000 on the Metro website. FAQs will be added next year. There was a suggestion to link to the local radio station, etc.

 

            Registrar:  1510 players were registered this year.

 

            PAD – 1 red card for rec. and 1 red card for Metro.  We have very few issues with players, coaches or parents than in other leagues.
