· Mana was in contact with EZ Storage. EZ Storage would like to have their flyers publicized at Bryantown fields. EZ Storage would provide discounts to customers who brings in the flyers. There is no investment for WSC and the Board recommended no to the flyers.
· Joe received a phone call from Crystal Palace (Baltimore semi-pro team). Crystal Palace would like to partner with WSC. Paul mentioned Crystal Palace has a history of being disorganized and is currently profit trouble. Steve commented WSC already has their hands full with DC United.
· Steve provided the Board with the email traffic concerning Mr. Delahunt’s daughter. Background: Mr. Delahunt would like his daughter to be on the boy’s team she played for in the Fall season ‘09. Due to a closing of a boy’s team in the Spring season ‘10, Mr. Delahunt daughter was reassigned to a girls team. This reassignment of Mr. Delahunt daughter was not acceptable for him.
- Since Mr. Delahunt did not approve his daughter assigned to a girls team, Karen took Mr. Delahunt’s daughter out of the system. Dave refunded Mr. Delahunt’s fee.
- Mana reported the coach is allowing Mr. Delahunt’s daughter to practice with the team. Steve is going to check if WSC will be liable if she gets injured.

PROPOSAL
· Expand the Club’s RecPlus Program to include one boys team and one girls team in the U8, U10 and U12 age groups, respectively (a total of six teams), effective for the Fall 2010 – Spring 2011 season.
· Appoint Michael Gaines to serve as the “RecPlus Program Director” with overall administrative responsibility for the Program.
· Conduct tryouts to evaluate and select players concurrently with Travel Program tryouts, starting in June 2010, with evaluations lead by the Director of Coaching, Paul Cushion.
· Provide the RecPlus Program access to all of the Club’s resources with specific requirements to be outlined in an implementation plan prepared by the Program Director. The Program Director would submit a draft implementation plan at the April 2010 Executive Board Meeting.
BACKGROUND
The “RecPlus Division” in Southern Maryland is administered by St. Mary’s Youth Soccer (SMYS). The Division includes teams from SMYS, Calvert Soccer Association (CSA), St. Mary’s Northern Soccer League (SMNSL) and Waldorf Soccer Club (Club). The Club fielded its first and only RecPlus team, Waldorf Fury, in the U8 age group for the Fall 2009 – Spring 2010 seasons. SMYS, SMNSL and CSA have been participating in this program for several years and now have boys and girls RecPlus teams ranging from U8 – U14.
BENEFITS
· Provides a fun, moderate-cost, more competitive experience for above average players currently enrolled in the Club’s Recreational Program.
· Provides a gateway for above average recreational players to transition into the Club’s Travel Program. Limited travel to Calvert County and St. Mary’s County gives players and parents a taste of the “travel” component of the Travel Program.
· Provides developmental training ground for players that try out for, but are not selected for, travel teams, allowing them to work towards future opportunities to enter/re-enter the Travel Program.
· Provides experienced coaches that must have a minimum of four seasons coaching in the Recreational Program and must hold at least an U.S. Youth Soccer E-license (or equivalent).
· Parents and players commit to stay together through the fall and spring seasons, allowing them to develop team chemistry and allowing coaches the ability to introduce more advanced training concepts that can be built upon over the course of the two seasons.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the Club’s Executive Board adopt this proposal with an official vote.

Subject: Uniforms and Coaches Meeting
All,
Coaches and parents submitting uniform requests that result in unnecessary spending is a growing trend.
Additionally, Score has expressed concern filling small random uniform orders correctly and in a prompt manner.
I would like to include the following as an insert to the Coach’s packets beginning Fall 2010 addressing these issues.
- All uniforms are a one for one swap (example; smaller size for larger size).
- Hand out uniforms early. Please bring any sizing concerns to the attention of WSC’s Merchandise Director - Mana Labrie labrie77@comcast.net immediately.
Uniforms are ordered thru a vendor (not purchased @ local store).
- Please do not use a player’s favorite number as a method to hand out uniforms.
Smaller numbers = small sizes. Larger numbers = larger sizes.
- Do not take sizing requests from parents prior to handing out uniforms.
Any "sizing" issues should be visually confirmed by Coaches when handing out uniforms.
- WSC’s Merchandise Director has the option to personally assess all uniform sizing issues.
- Inclement weather is not a reason to postpone handing out uniforms.
Coaches can hold a team meeting. Examples: Meet at Food Court in the Mall or parking lot of practice field.
- WSC’s Merchandise Director will need to place an order by (Cut off / Due by Date).
One week from Coaches Meeting?
- Please return all unused uniforms and socks to WSC Merchandise Tent prior to end of season.
These are just some of my ideas. Your suggestions are welcomed
I would also like to add the following to our FAQs page;
Uniform concerns? Please contact WSC Merchandise Director - Mana Labrie at labrie77@comcast.net
Thanks, Mana
