COMMISSIONER REPORTS:
Soccer
– Matt Nelson: D.K. handed out a commissioner’s report that
had an update on the basketball tournament.
She brought the medals for the tournament for everyone to look at. D.K. announced that she is holding a Coaches
Meeting on February 21st at 7:00 pm at Sni-A-Bar Elementary School
to get feedback and to get volunteers to help with next year’s basketball
season.
Soccer
– Matt Nelson: Matt would like to hold soccer signups Feb. 16th and
Feb. 23rd because there are currently only 12 children signed
up. D.K. Barr stated that Sni-A-Bar
Elementary is open those Saturdays for games so he could use the common area
for signups. It was decided to hold
sign-ups at Sni-A-Bar from 10-12 pm both Saturdays. Right now all ages are being accepted and Matt is working on
getting information for the jerseys. It
was decided that Legends Photography would do the pictures for soccer. TJ asked if a fundraiser was going to be
done for soccer and Matt told him he wasn’t sure if it would be too much since
the soccer fee was raised $ 20 this year.
Matt is currently trying to get someone to manage the game schedules. Shannon Davies said that Grain Valley now
has a separate rain-out line that isn’t set up yet and Matt suggested possibly
setting something up on the GVAA website
and TJ suggested setting up a phone tree.
