Attendees: Anne Landon, Michelle Varian, Scott Nostrand, Lizette Odfalk, Tim Wiese

1. Recreational league: numbers are way down across the board (all levels). Not sure of the Town of Dryden’s status of advertising (Lizette to contact Jennifer Glaab to verify). Decided to postpone the deadlines for entry to November 30^th for Intermediate and Senior leagues…and possibly further for the Junior League (mid December?).

To help with the Intermediate league…..the structure will be revised for what is anticipated as only about 15 or so players…to go with pinnies and just split up into teams randomly with no referees. Although it was decided to still provide a DSC tee-shirt for each player, significant savings could be realized from the current $32 fee…and if possible would like to refund some of the registration fee.

Anne Landon will contact the school to get approval to use the school’s storage room.

Unsure of Junior Recreational League Status.

Lizette will contact the elementary school’s about sending flyers home with kids for junior rec league the first week in December.

2. Publicity: the arrangements have been finalized for ordering stickers, coats and shirts as a fundraiser. Order forms have been emailed to coaches…and posted on the website. Each team’s manager is to organize the orders and deliver to Lizette prior to 11/23.

The travel team that sells the most (by session) wins pizza for a party! It was concluded that Rec league teams should not participate.

3. Premier Team Uniforms: general discussion on this issue produced an agreement that Premier Teams should not be included in the club’s uniform requirement, but a vote was tabled until the December meeting to that Tim Wiese can send out an informational email to all club members. Michelle Varian brought a definition of Premier from the Upstate New York Premier League website (to be included in Tim’s email).

4. DSC meeting attendance: Tim Wiese suggested a requirement to have each DSC sponsored team to have a rep at each monthly meeting. Failure to attend a minimum amount of meetings (perhaps 80%) would put the team in “bad standing”…and preclude them from being able to register again without discussions with the officers of the club. All that it was a workable idea…and will be on the Agenda for the next meeting, with a starting date of perhaps Spring Leagues.

5. The Dryden Dragons have a website…that is linked on the DSC website.

6. Scott Nostrand mentioned difficulty in the paperwork requirements for U8 and U10 rosters.

7. BCSA: the DSC has been without a BCSA coordinator for several months…and as a result has not attended the BCSA meeting and is in jeopardy of being put in “bad standing”…which would prevent the club from participating in the BCSA spring league. This issue is urgent and needs to be addressed immediately!!

8. Facilities: the DSC is currently without a Facilities coordinator…which Peggy Westerling has been covering on an interim basis. The club is in desperate need of someone to step forward. This issue is urgent and needs to be addressed immediately!!

9. Indoor tournament: we are searching for an indoor tournament director….there is paperwork that needs to be sent in very quickly…the club is in danger of not having an indoor tournament if someone does not step up. Michelle Varian suggested the possibility of having an outdoor tournament instead.

10. NYSWYSA AGM: the AGM is next weekend…the DSC is required to attend…there is a $50 fine if we do not. Currently, there is no one who is planning on attending.

11. TCSA: starting with second session winter…each participating club will be required to provide a volunteer to work at The Field to provide TCSA representation, to help with disputes….shag balls, etc.

12. A discussion was held on the DSC’s practice of reimbursing club sponsored teams $10 an hour for those that practice at non DCS facilities.

13. Jeri-Ann Bush is taking over the secretary duties on an interim basis.

14. Ken and Kathy Paddock are taking over the Uniform Coordinator’s role.
