Old Business:
The registration form committee finalized the registration form. Bob Buono spoke about the S.A.G.E. (set a good example) forms that we would like coaches, parents, and players to sign. We need to be proactive and not reactive to situations that may occur during the soccer season. We will have another committee meeting on January 17th
at 8:30PM to finalize the S.A.G.E. forms. All interested members are encouraged to attend.
During the Soccer Expo we found several vendors who had patches. We are in need of patches for our traveling teams. We will order the most affordable patch. We need approximately 1000 patches.
Dave Jervus spoke about last season’s PDO training. We had a discussion on the implementation of a 2nd PDO for the recreation players for 6 weeks. We spoke about the benefits of this training and the disadvantages. A motion was made by Pat MacNeil to commit to the 2nd PDO in the spring and also to commit 9 month plan for the Fall season to save on expenses. It was voted unanimously and passed.
Dave Jervus also did a needs analysis from the training program in the fall season. Several coaches spoke positively on Coach Steve’s performance. ie able to work with all ages, consistent training, was able to zone in on weaknesses and worked them into drills, discipline was very good, in town- accessible, kids and coaches enjoyed him and his personality.
Dave asked how we could improve the Recreation program? Through coach, parental, and player education. All three areas need to be address. Scheduling was the only problem with the PDO in the fall and that was not the fault of MLS.
Bill O’Connell received and read an email from Steve Maker. He would like to return to our club in the spring, if we would have him. We would like to have Steve back for the spring. Bill will get back to him. To inform him of our club’s wishes to have him return.
New Business:
Bill O’Connell also received a letter from the State in reference to the lost of corporate funds/monies stole from clubs. Basically, the State outlined procedures to eliminate this problem. We already have most of these procedures in place.
Ordered a plaque for Barb Wilkinson to show our appreciation and thanks for her help and donations to our club.
If you know of anyone else who needs to be thanked for their donations to our club, please let a Board member know.
The next meeting will be on February 4, 2003 at Tip Seaman Pavilion.
Motion made by Victor Moore to adjourn the meeting @ 9:45PM and seconded by Bob Buono.
