    Item 2—Will has asked to be removed from the SSUP Board. Jon will ask Hannah Wahl to replace him as Evergreen Representative.

    Spring Leagues (Andy):

  • Andy H. will ask Jeff Johnson to find new fields for us for next season due to injuries from sprinkler access panels in fields 1 and 2. They were responsible for Melody’s knee injury on Sunday the 10th.
  • Todd agreed to research a solution to the covers by cutting rubber mats to be placed over the sprinkler panels. Andy will talk to Jeff Johnson to determine if OPAR will be willing to reimburse the cost.
  • Discs have been ordered.
  • Troy Bussy wants to help with the end of season BBQ.
  • There was discussion on the need for a survey this year. It was decided that Andy would send an e-mail to captains that they could forward to their teams. The e-mail would give Andy’s e-mail as a person to send comments about this year’s Spring League.
  • Comments on Spring League:
  • Andy wants people to encourage Nate, and Spencer on the work they have done with Spring League. Andrew would like people to give Andy a pat on the back and encourage him to keep working on SL for another year.

    Team (Jon):

    Potlatch Bid was Accepted

    The roster was capped at 18 for potlatch this year with an added fee of $40 for extra players. Captains have decided to cap our team roster at 20 and spread the extra $80 into the tourney fees. For our bid we agreed to raise another $950(cost of our team bid) and donate it to GRUB. Each team member is responsible for $43 of that fund raiser or a “reasonable” attempt at raising the amount (ie. Jon offers to wash Todd’s mom for $10. Todd thinks his mom is a dirty girl and that it wouldn’t be worth that much. Jon may have to wash someone else’s mom or pay the difference.)

    We have been having good numbers at practice but some players were only showing up for the scrimmage. Those people were asked to commit to the whole practice or only come to pickup.

    Local Tournament (Ian):

    Ian will take over as tournament chair. He is looking into obtaining insurance for the tournament so we can use it for a fundraiser. He is looking into Rainier Vista park or Steilacoom park (RAC) as possible locations this year. He is going to make this a “B” pool tournament to keep the level competitive and spirited.

    Winter League (Andrew):

    Andrew will attempt to go through OPAR in order to gain greater access to gym space and insurance. Andrew will attempt to have winter league in January and February with a possible 6-8 teams for next season.

    Pickup (Pam):

    Andrew moved that pickup committee should come to pickup. Jon and Todd asked that pickup committee members should be the ones to talk to aggressive players at pickup. We would like to have good competition but we would also like to avoid injuries. The pickup committee (Pam) will compose an e-mail to the list serve addressing the level of play expected at pickup.

    Next Meeting

    Monday, July 13th, at Ian's house at 7 p.m.
