Soccer Association Board Meeting Sunday January 31, 2016

In attendance: Mike Ross, Troy Temple, Shelly Prieve, Andrea Vogelsberg

Brendon Cox presented to us the idea of MN United FC invited Faribault to attend a Thunder Game. We would sell tickets, and depending on the amount could get perks from the sales. The mascot could possibly make an appearance at our Home Tournament on May 7th, and there is the opportunity to receive a 2 hour mini day camp experience. Not sure of a deadline, but should know more soon.

Registration Update:

One special request of an 8 year old boy to play up. It will be allowed if room on teams. Also, there was a request from the U10 boys to form a Gold team, this was discussed and denied due to the new rules.

Registration will not close on the 7th, we will keep it open a little longer since teams will not be formed until the end of February.

Coaches confirmed: Johnsons, Potter/Holmberg, Roosmalen, and Ross.

Online Clothing: Andrea Vogelsberg is willing to work on this if the group votes to do it again this year. Not enough members present to vote on tonight.

Next meeting February 21st, 2016 at the Washington Rec Center 7pm.

U-14G don’t want to participate in State Qualifier - team is signed-up to play / this will cost the association a $ 200.00 fine from the MYSA

Referee & Field Coordinator Update - Joe Schleis

Incident shortly after the completion of game # 7100 (U-14B) that was played on June 22nd: AR-1, A ref received two messages on her phone from a U-14B player. One message included profanity directed at the ref and the second included profanity directed at another referee. The language used in these messages would have been more than adequate to warrant the issuing of a Red Card “send-off” for Insulting or Abusive Language. A two-game suspension would follow. The State Referee Committee saw this act as a serious invasion of personal space and recommended discipline is issued. Discussion took place amongst the board members.

Motion by D. Zahn to suspend this 14 year old boy for two (2) games/seconded byS. Kletschka.

VOTE: 8 Aye, 0 Nay - this player will be suspended from the U-14B’s next two games
