Jason:

Mark Apel may possibly consider taking the head coach position.  Will shadow Jason this fall.  Also, need to split this position between two people, one for the fall, and one for the spring. Bill Balog to take this position.

Spoke with Tim Nash with NCYSA< about putting on a coaching clinic for certification.  Also, possibly Challenge to have a class for participants to get an E license. The clinic will be held the second weekend in August and offered to surrounding counties. 

We need to plan the coaching clinic/meeting for recreation coaches to go over rules and offer drill suggestions.  Hopefully do this at the end of soccer camp.

Will send out notices through the schools and make a few posters to advertise.

Fund Raising:

Discussed the possibility of players selling cookie dough.  This is just something to think about, because it would be done by individuals, not sure if it would be worth time and effort.

There is a program where players sell cards with stickers from meal deals at local restaurants, like Dominoes, and Subway.  Each card sells for $12.00 and has 37 stickers.  If a player sells five cards, he/she will get one free.  Can work this out several ways:  One is to purchase all the cards up front then sell.  This way the cards cost $ 4.75 per card.  Can also have players take orders, then order what is needed, cards will cost $5.75.  Dee to look further into this and report at next meeting.

There is also a plan for a coupon book through Drake for The Factory.   Will charge $5.00 per book. 

Challenge Tryouts:

June 4^th, plan to field three teams, U 10,11, 12 boys, U 10,11, 14 girls. The Challenge State meeting is being held in Greensboro on June 3^rd, and Jason is planning on attending.

Approximately $1,200 left in account after bills are paid.
