Little Feat Update:
            Tim and Steve were present to present some possible options for those 9/10 year olds that are over lapping in the Little Feat program and have not moved up to the traveling teams.  Some kids/parents are not sure if they are ready to do the traveling program, therefore staying in the Little Feat program.
            An option that generated much discussion was to have a rec-plus team.
            Could we try it as a pilot program this year?
            It could be a good feeder/transition program to the traveling teams.
            Could be either boys/girls/coed.
            Team would be by invite only.
            Steve/Tim would be willing to coach.
            Board felt that more information was needed on what rec-plus was and how it worked.
            Board would need to find out required information and then need further discussions to ascertain an appropriate decision.  They felt they needed more time and felt that maybe this may be a better option for next year.  Topic was tabled.
           
Registration:
Online registration deadline is midnight tonight. Currently registration is closed for boys U15, U11 & girls U12 as they have reached their roster limits. All other teams still have room to roster more players.  Some may even need to do some recruiting. Julie Laneslag is requesting that the girls U14 team transfer from C2 to C3 as she has lost 5 players this year and only won 27% of last summer’s games. Tammy will on deadline for this and submit move requested.

Uniforms: 
Order forms and checks slowly keep coming in. Uniform committee will contact those that have incomplete forms or have not made payment yet. 1st order will be placed soon so that printing can start. Subsequent order/s will be placed at a later date yet to be determined.

Other Discussions:
All coaches/managers and parents that help in anyway MUST have a background check done.  This is an MYSA requirement.  Coaches and managers need to push this for the safety of all teams and players.  Many have still not done this background check.  Please do so ASAP..
           
Meeting adjourned at 8:45pm

Next meeting is scheduled for March 8, 2009 at 7pm at Washington Rec Center.

Respectfully submitted,

            Missy Plante
