6. Old Business

Election of Officers: Bruce Merrick was niominated for the Vice-President positon by Sandy, which was seconded by Carla. The vote was unamious, and Bruce was elected Vice-President for a two year term. No nominations were received for the treasurer’s position. Sallie will be acting treasurer until a replacement can be found. A motion was made by Sallie, seconded by Gary to grant authority to the executive board to fill the treasurers position once someone steps forward, instead of having to call another special meeting. The motion passes unamiously.
Board Participation: Team representatives need to attend the board meetings. If they are unable to attend, they should coordinate with another person on there team to ensure that there team is represented at the meetings.

Coaching: A suggestion to form a committee was made to discuss coaching options and training. The committee members are Ann Farris (Chair), Ron Moore, Gayle Baker, and Greg Gibson. The women’s team may be able to provide some training for the 91 team.

Hazen Coorspondence: Greg did respond to Gayle Hazens letter, but it appears that she did not receive the letter. Greg will re-send the letter and forward a copy to Sallie for the record.

New Business:

Disclosure Statement: ASYSA requires all coaches and board members to complete a disclosure statement. Sallie will distribute the forms at the next meeting.

Communications: For easy communication with the Eclipse players/families, it was suggested that we gather as many email addresses as possible to include in a large email group. Amber volunteered to coordinate the list. Several topics were discussed, such as a mid-winter event, club events, fundraising, spring clinic open to other clubs, scrimmage early before Ina K and promotion of the lock-in.

FYSA Update:

FYSA will not be holding clinincs this summer for the competitive teams, only for rec players. We are not currently looking at brining up MLS, but could consider a combined clinic with other clubs.

FYSA is considering pulling out of ASYSA. This would have minimal impact on the clubs, as we wuld still be required to register with ASYSA. The recreational players could benefit from the move as the $15 that is sent to ASYSA for their insurance coverage could be kept with FYSA and it is anticipated that the insurance rate would be less than the $15.

FYSA is looking at impeaching the president, Dave McCraw. The executive board is to meet with Dave to discuss issues before he is formally taken off the board.

91 Team: The 91 team try-outs will be in March. Several players from the 90 team can play down and may want to move to the younger team. Team purity at this level is important due to the State Cup regulations.

A suggestion for the younger age brackets was made to create a "farm" team, that encompasses a 2 year span (age bracket) for winter so that in the summer there will be a feeder team.

The next Eclipse Board meeting will be held on Friday, January 19, 2000, at 6:30 PM at the Salvation Army Building off 10th Avenu
