2nd VICE PRESIDENT'S REPORT:

A handout of tentatively scheduled coaches and referees clinics for 1999.
We need to review the list and check that the dates are good for each club, hopefully we can accommodate all clubs that are interested.
A reminder to our Clubs to see that all new coaches attend an E clinic.
We will try to see that the referee clinics are scheduled early in the season.
A question was asked as to how soon will we know the dates of the classes are confirmed. We will need to wait to hear from District as to who has been approved to instruct the classes.
Managers will be contacted before the next meeting to have registration forms available at the next meeting.

TREASURER'S REPORT:

No report available as the printer went down. Will supply information for December and January at the next meeting.

REGISTRAR'S REPORT:

A note to the managers that bills have been submitted to each registrar that has an outstanding bill.

SAC UNITED REPRESENTATIVE'S REPORT:

Rich Kilthau provided information to our Club managers regarding a jamboree.
The web site is on line at www.sacunited.com
There is information on schedules on the web site. Sac United coaches will be coaching teams at the jamboree and the interest is there for U10 players who played in U12 to get involved. Player passes will be needed, and there will be a three game round robin.

SECRETARY'S REPORT:

No report.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT:

The District meeting will be held tomorrow night so there will be no report until the next meeting. End of the year standings information will be going out to the coaches next week.

COMMITTEE REPORT:

A metro policy is submitted.
Metro is looking for development teams interested in Class 3 designation.
Several questions have arisen as to why our club handles things differently for metro such as not allowing tryouts, and not reaching out to interested players or letting players know of the options of metro.
In the policy there is a proposal that coaches fill vacancies on the teams interested in playing metro, through the tryout procedure.
Any coaches interested in metro needs to file now.
In the handout submitted there is a mission statement listed for metro.
A first year metro coach must have an E license. Metro is a select program, and is for development of players. In order to coordinate the teams and tryouts a vote is needed soon on the policy submitted as we do not want to clash with Sac United tryouts.

Claudia motioned to accept the policy as written and Doug seconded the motion with amendments to stipulate a time for tryouts.

A commendation to Jim Waits and his helpers for his diligence the past two years in working on this. Thank you Jim.

A look will be taken at standings information to see what teams may be available for metro.

Janis pointed out that Clarksburg is scheduled to design the pins for this season.

There are some division pins still not handed out as the stats are not all in.

OLD BUSINESS:

Claudia talked about the web site, reminding Clubs that this will be a good way for the Clubs to communicate with each other. A list is handed out of the list of items available, how the web site can be used and the cost per Club. If a Club has their own web site, they could link up with SYSL. Hope Anaya moves to accept the offer and Georgette seconds. All in favor.

Affiliation papers will go out to the Clubs.

The Dixon Club requested information about a letter that was written to the SYSL Board and was not responded to. This will covered after the meeting as it cannot be addressed at this time.

There was a note in the Sacramento BEE newspaper about Challenge Soccer and that it is expanding. A thank you to the SYSL Board for their assistance.

ADJOURNMENT:

Claudia motioned to adjourn, Georgette second. Meeting adjourned at 9:05 p.m.

Respectfully submitted,
Marlene Vega
SYSL Secretary
