Meeting Minutes Approved – The minutes of the Nov 3, 2003, were approved.

Coaching Committee – Coach’s Evaluations. We have received over 90 evaluations, a significant improvement in response rate over last year. All agreed that the timely dissemination of the forms just after the season helped to generate more responses. The goal next year would be to distribute the feedback forms even sooner, perhaps utilizing e-mail attachment or line to print off the form. Charlie agreed to be responsible for distribution of feedback forms next season. It was agreed that the coaches committee would meet by the end of the month to review and summarize the feedback. It was also moved and seconded and voted on that the committee would make contact with each coach in the program to provide feedback. The policy was modified to define for this season that contact would be comprised of either telephone discussion or face-to-face meetings as appropriate

Zero Tolerance Policy – Uniform agreement that as written, members present did not support the policy. It is belief by the members that the current rules and code of conduct governing play and league behavior for coaches, players and parent is adequate and can address any issues relative to inappropriate behavior. Bob Keach will draft a response opposing the adoption of the policy. He will share with board members for feedback.

Indoor Soccer. Agreed to not fund. Indoor soccer has evolved to primarily a premiere league play. Town indoor teams do not exist generally.

Andy Pappas. Board agreed to authorize payment in the amount of $690 for Andy Pappas services during the 03 fall season. General agreement that the amount billed was reasonable and likely did not reflect the complete support Andy provided.
