In Attendance: Bill Turner, Evan Kurtz, Missy Park, Carol Chase, Cathy Paddock, Ken Paddock, Jeri Ann Bush, Dan Clement, Doug Hoyt, Michelle Minnis, Cyndie Allmendinger, Mike Allmendinger.

Facilities and Field: The Paddock’s passed out a gym time practice schedule. The schedule changes often. Small gym may become available from 5-6pm. after Jr. Hi. Basketball games begin. The Paddock’s will check on this. Paddock’s will also be verifying the rec. league times.

Coach and Referee: Will the club pay for coaching clinics? Last year, the club fronted a nominal fee for 4 people to go to a clinic. We discussed switching this to a reimbursement for going to a clinic. Michelle Minnis suggested that the club raise money to use for some people to go to coaching clinic’s. It was decided that we still don’t have a policy for this. It will have to be a case by case decision if it comes up.

Rec. Leagues: Registration for all Rec. Leagues is November 20th. from 9-1 at the Dryden Elementary School.

Travel Teams: Next month’s meeting is the last meeting to decide Spring Travel teams. Rosters must be turned into Broom County by January 6th., 2000. Need to be to Bill Turner before then so he can sign off on the guarantee that the team will be playing. There is a HEFTY fine if the team is registered but does not play. Here is the list of what we have for coaches:

U12 girls- Jeri Ann Bush

U19 girls- Evan Kurtz

U13 boys- Tim Wiese

U14 boys- Mike Allmendinger?

U16 boys- Laszlo Engel

The question of "Playing time" was raised. The intended guideline was that each child gets at least 50% playing time. Evan believes there is a written statement saying this. He will look for that statement. Michelle Minnis suggested a "Player Contract" be drawn up to state team expectations. The travel team coaches will get together to go over ideas for this. Michelle Minnis will be arranging this meeting.

Indoor Tournament: Tentative dates are March 17th, 18th, 19th.

Minutes were decided to be posted on website and Bill Turner will send an email out to notify of their posting.

Cones were purchased and distributed. Bill will check on fund availability for first aid kits.

Mike Allmendinger requested that any soccer related papers or forms have the website address on them.

Motion made for U11 to have fund raiser selling sweatshirts and run money through club. All of the shirts will be pre-sales. All in favor.

The question of what is the dollar amount allowed for spending was raised. Bill Turner would like a strong guideline on spending. Any bill over $100.00 must be brought to the club for approval. If there is a time constraint, then an email must be sent to Bill Turner so he can contact Janet Wise for approval of funds.

There has been issues with getting bills paid by kids for tournament play. It’s felt that the club does not have the money to front each team to pay for the tournament play. It was felt by some that each team should collect money from players up front before booking and paying for tournaments. Some felt that a timeline on payment was necessary, and should be added to the "Player Contract." Nothing was decided and more questions will be raised to the treasurer about this issue.

Cyndie will be ordering more white shirts (the extra team shirt for some teams). Michelle is going to check with Joanne about ordering the rec. league T-shirts at the same time and from the same place.

Evan Kurtz made motion to close and it was approved by all.

Next Meeting: December 13, 1999
