FWSRA October 17th Meeting Minutes
Meeting called to order at
There were 7 of the 12 voting members present.
(Mike, Maize, Scott, Michael, Kreig, Judy and Kevin),
Justin, Lorenzo, Kerry, and Debbie joined in later.
The minutes from the previous meeting March, May, August and
September were presented and approved.
July minutes were read and also approved. April minutes were not available at this
time.
Officer’s reports:
- President: Mike reported that he
had met with Perry and Jessie from FWU in regards to the charge for game
changes. Currently FWSRA is not
charging FWU for making changes to their schedule in regards to referee
support, but will monitor changes as they are done over the course of the
season. As a result, FWSRA hopes to get the game schedules at a much
earlier date in order to post game and times on website. There was also a concern on the data
Sandy (fwu fields scheduler) was receiving her information. Both Sharon
and Sandy are field schedulers for FWU and Mod soccer but the format in
which they receive their information is totally different.
- Vice President: Krieg- Saved his
report for new business.
- Treasurer: Maize reported that “K&K”
refunded the check from FWSRA due to the inability to provide insurance
for the club. 2006 taxes were
submitted and the tax preparer’s fee was paid. There also has been no
response from “Cathy” in regards for money owed to the club for referee
payment (MOD).
- Secretary: The minutes taken at the
April board meeting were not available as reported in the start of this
meeting. The minutes from the July
meeting were read by President Mike F. and approved by the board.
Directors report:
- Director of Assigning U11-U19:
Debbie F. -no report.-Note- An email went out to all the coaches. They now
have the ability to check the FWSRA website to see if they have a “crew”
to cover their game.
- Director of Assigning U7-U10: Judy-
Referee’s now can get paid for mod games if they do over half of the
game. There was a situation where a
referee was only able to do half of the game and requested payment. He was
denied, so as a result the board decided that a referee must do more than
half of a game in order for payment
(this is if they were not assigned to the game)
Tracy Whitney tournament will not
have referee support for U6 due to it is a “learning” age and coaches are usually on the field. There
was also discussion in regards to an incentive for the referee’s who do the
Tracey Whitney games: One was to distribute “coupons” which would entitle the
ref to obtain a monetary amount of an item or items from the concession
stand. The amount could rage from $2-$3
dollars. No decision was made at this
date.
- Director of Instruction: Lorenzo –
Mentioned that there was a large turnout for the class presumably due to
the stipulation of parents having to take the class if their son or
daughter did not meet the minimum age requirement for taking the class set
by FWSRA. There is also a
possibility of either moving the May clinic to January, or have an
additional clinic due to the new start for the older girls teams. Ideas
are needed for recertification, such as having additional recert dates
(like other clubs have). Also some
needs to contact Bob, and or Ernie B., to come and be present for the
clubs recert date. Person was not
named.
- Director of Mentoring: Judy
mentioned that her replacement (or she) should attend the Tracy Whitney
tournament to mentor the new and younger referee’s. There should also be a “clinic” for the
Tracey Whitney games as well, primarily focusing on the U7, and U8 teams.
- Director of Assessment: Scott
reported that there are several tournaments that he has attended looking
for possible candidates for “Semi-Final” camp and possible upgrades as
well.
- Directors at Large: Kerry reported
that there are several game that should have a full crew especially when
we have a referee shortage. This is
due to several “rivalry”. teams playing each other and things happening behind the center’s
back. This was duly noted,
especially for the “Reign purple”, and “Storm green” teams.
- Youth Directors at Large: No report
from either Justin, or Michael..
New Business:
- Table
the duties and responsibilities list due to time running out for board
meeting.
- Discussion
in regards to the U11-U19 Assignor (Debbie) receiving payment for partial
work in uploading some games for the U11 PDL group. Since it required more
time to perform the task The President (Mike F.) and Vice President (Kreig
E) decided no compensation was to be given for that effort. Deviation from
policy regarding payment adjustment.
- Second
week in November will be recertification testing.
- Need
to identify individuals who would like to do High School games.
