Meeting Minutes Approved – The minutes of the Feb 2,2004 were approved.

Coaching Committee – Play up proposal presented and was approved as proposed.

Website update: Steadily getting populated. Charlie Cements needs 20 minutes of a senior coaching member’s time to capture the basic aspects of coaching messages for the coaching tab.

Nominating Committee: There is one member rotating off the board (Bruen) and 2 resignations. Colette Twigg will stay on for one more year. This leaves us with three positions to fill. We have recommended John Fay, Martha Boreman, and Susan Payson to be voted onto board at the annual meeting.

New Business

Uniforms -Agreed to go with Martha’s recommendation. A great deal. Also go with two white t-shirts and numbered pinneys for U 9 –10.

State Fees are going up from $250 to $280 per team

There appear to be u 9 teams developing next year. If these do become viable with enough teams we agreed to also consider.

Jim Goodrich will draft general guidelines for reference re playing time, focused on u-12. Also remind er of the guideline already in place for u-9 –u-11 based on soccer Maine guidelines.

Phil Bruen will contact Falmouth Community programs with Ben Wiegel re field availability for the fall classic that will dictate the size of the event.
