Vice President Traveling:
We need to decide on patch design. Members decided that the club would keep the same picture of the wildcat coming out of the soccer ball, but will replace the current logo with Pinelands Soccer running across the top and Ocean County, NJ running across the bottom. Members voted on the new wording and the new patch design was passed with a unanimous vote.
Traveling teams will start practicing in January. Need to set up a schedule so that we do not lose the gym space at the Tuckerton Elementary School to another club. A tentative schedule was created. Bill OC- Monday, Bill McG.- Tuesday, Mike- Wed., Cathy- Fri. Pat agreed to take whatever day was left.
We need a Jersey Coast Rep. Bill McGuire agreed to represent PSA. Cathy Errico also will alternate meeting with Bill.

A committee met on Nov. 15th to change the format of the registration form for the recreation soccer players. The committee reviewed over 100 different registration forms from across the country. The committee presented the new registration form for the PSA members to review. A suggestion was made to indicate the primary address of the player. The committee expressed that parents could download the form at home and would be able to return it completely filled out. This will increase the number of visits to our website. Forms would not be in triplicate this time. We will have a copy machine to copy forms and birth certificates. This copy will be given to the parents and will serve as their receipt. The committee plans to have another meeting to finalize the registration forms the Code of Conduct form and Coaches’ Form. The Code of Conduct Form and the Coaches’ Form was also passed around and received feedback for corrections and changes to be made.
Some grant information was downloaded from the Internet and the Board will investigate using grants to expedite the lighting situation at the soccer complex. The Board will also investigate the possibility of asking the electric company for assistance; Gary Jones is our contact person.
