New Business
Coach Selection Committee– Pat, Bob, Gary, Ian, Brenda, Jenna Brownson.
PeeWee/U6 planning for new season – New weekday and Saturday schedules were discussed. Pat will meet with BEST soccer to review plans for season.
CORI– All coaches need to renew CORI forms for Park & Rec as well as MYSA. Gary Austin will coordinate.
Coach Conduct – there was discussion about adding explicit wording to the website and/or registration pages regarding expected coach conduct and penalties for non-compliance. Feeling was divided as to the value of this, given that coaches already sign a conduct pledge with the league and check an agreement to abide by the club rules/guidelines when they register a player. No firm decision was made.
 
Meeting adjourned at 9:50 PM
