Meeting was called to order @ 7:45 pm
All board members were present All teams were represented 26 total present
Presidents Report Mayors Meeting On July 12th, Rachel, Dennis and Alex Vanega meet with Mayor DeAngelo to introduce themselves and acquaint the mayor with MYSA. The topic of discussion was to work with the town to try and obtain fields for MYSA’s sole use. One of the main items that came from this meeting was the club needs to show more recognition in the town. Since the club has only been around for 10 years we are relatively young in comparison to other sports within the town. Another meeting is to be scheduled with the mayor towards the end of October to continue with this discussion
Fields A meeting was held with the DPW to discuss the maintenance of the fields for the season with regard to trash containers and removal as well as the mowing of the fields. The club will be using Haverstick field and Hazelwood field primarily this season. The DPW has agreed to do the initial lining of these fields. The maintenance of the lines will be done by MYSA from that point on. Ed Bagonyi will prepare the team schedule for this task and Ernie Korom will review the schedule week to week to make sure the work is done. MYSA gave the DPW a case of paint to do the initial lining.
Equipment Doug Warner will be coordinating all equipment for MYSA this season. The league will provide $ 100.00 to each team to use for equipment purchases or tournament fees. Should anyone need any equipment please contact Doug with any requests.
Uniforms MYSA has introduced new Addidas Uniforms for the new teams entering the league this season. The change has been made because the XARA uniforms are soon to be discontinued. By the fall of 2008 all teams will be wearing the new Addidas Uniforms.
Fundraising The board has been discussing various fundraisers for the upcoming season. Can Day will be held on Saturday October 13th at various location in Middlesex and Dunellen. Tina Chiera is coordinating can day for the fall Season. Tina will also be working with Claudia Zeller on the fund raising committee. We are currently looking at having a fund raiser breakfast this spring in lieu of can day. Tina also has made arrangements with Maria’s Pizza on Harris Ave to sponsor an MYSA night. Every Thursday for the fall season MYSA will get 10% back from the food sold. You must have an MYSA Coupon which can be printed out on the website. Sports Basics (next to Boro Hall Pharmacy) is also offering 10% back to MYSA on purchases. Just mention you are with MYSA.
Soccer Grant Rachel has submitted an approval to apply for a grant from US Soccer Foundation for an all condition field.
Vice Presidents Report Dennis reviewed the B2B training, as of the meeting we are currently 8 hours off. B2B is working to reschedule the times with the various teams. Goal keeper training is only 1 hour behind to date. This training should be made up as soon as possible since the nights are getting shorter and colder. B2B has coaches clinics scheduled for every other Wednesday night. The coach’s clinics are also open to the parents; this is a great opportunity to help acquaint yourself with the game. These clinics are paid for by the league. Also discussed is the requirement that a coach or parent must be present for your teams training or goal keeper training.
If your teams have an interest in getting a team sponsor, please contact Dennis for the letter that has been prepared for asking for sponsorship.
Please make sure that any equipment used at training that belongs to B2B is returned to B2B after the session.
Treasurers Report Tony reviewed the clubs accounts; there are 118 players on 9 teams this season. The original projection was for 100 players on 7 teams. There are no outstanding balances to date.
League Contact Week one of the season had 2 games that were not played, one needs to be rescheduled. The MNJYSA for the fall season has 79 clubs, 845 teams and 3700 games to schedule. It is important that any make up games be rescheduled as soon as possible. Game times should not start before 11:30 am or after 5:00 pm. If teams want to schedule outside of these guidelines please contact Sharon ASAP. MNJYSA has a new board this season. The season schedule is completed and is official. MYSA will be the only ones using Haverstick and Hazelwood fields this season this should help with any games that may need to be rescheduled. Should the need arise to file a complaint against a coach, ref or parent etc. please contact Sharon to take care of this. The league contact is our point person for the league and any correspondence to the league needs to go through Sharon.
The games times become official after 8:00 pm on Wednesday nights. The only case that may change the time is if the field is unplayable and the club has another field that they can use. This would have to be agreed upon between both teams’ coaches.
Inclement Weather - The decision to play based upon poor weather will be made by 9:00 am on the game day. If your game has been cancelled the games should be made up within 2 weeks from the originally scheduled date.
All game results and referee counts should be e-mailed to Sharon, Tony and John by Sunday evening so they can be reported to the league
Secretary Report John will be updating the website this season. Please forward any results, pictures and/or team news to John to be put on the site. Schedules, Directions, League Information, B2B updates and fundraiser information will also be posted.
Box 2 Box Paul and Liam stated that training to date was going well. They asked that all players come to training with the proper equipment (Shin guards inside socks, proper sized soccer ball, and proper apparel) and for the coaches to warm up the players so training can begin on time.
Training will remain at Haverstick for the rest of the season. Since the weather is starting to change make sure the players are dressed accordingly.
There will also be no training on national holidays unless it is pre arranged between B2B and the coaches through the board.
B2B will be holding a Columbus Day camp from 10:00 am till 2:00 pm on October 8th. Cost for the camp is $ 40.00
Liam asked for suggestions for the upcoming coaches clinics. Please e-mail them to him so he can prepare for the upcoming sessions.
There have been 3 game analyses done to date; B2B has 3 scheduled for 9/23 as well. Each team will have 2 game analyses per season.
Thanks to Paul and Liam for installing the new nets on the Haverstick goals.
Uniforms Kris Gary (our apparel rep) has ordered the new Addidas uniforms for the season from O2 sports. There are still some XARA uniforms in stock with Kris and inventory list will be prepared for the apparel that the league does have. Kris will schedule a cut off date for apparel orders for this season. She will also work with John to update the apparel page on the website to incorporate some of the new items available with the uniform changes.
Fields Paint for the fields is available from either Doug or Rachel. Your team field representatives will need to contact either one of them to arrange to get the paint machines and paint when it is their turn to line the fields.
Doug will also look into getting costs for seed to be provided at Haverstick to spread in front of the goals during the season to help keep the area from getting worn down.
Recruitment Anna Mantel discussed the fall recruitment for the league. She asked that a larger effort be made from the league to help get more players. A few of our teams are playing with as little as 2 subs per game this season. Anna is looking to recruit on A Saturday morning at the recreation soccer games as well as hand out fliers during can day. We will also set up a table at the recreation games prior to tryouts to help get some interest in the club.
The meeting was concluded at 9:30 pm.
Respectfully Submitted John Nicholson MYSA Secretary
