Here are the Benefits of SAY 

Just FYI

Display case keys should go to coaches’ coordinator, one for the parent representative, and one for the master set of keys.

Just FYI

When determining roster sizes: 
(Board approved 3/20/06)

Try to keep numbers where if a coach were to play children perfectly equal amounts of time, each child could play 3/4s of the game.

(Formula -11 players on the field times 4 quarters equals 44. Divide by the number of players for that team lets say 15 which is 2.9 possible quarters per child - pretty close. This does NOT change the requirement to play a minimum of 1/2 of the game.

The underlined number would be the most ideal team size with the second number still being OK.

· Five Year Olds (6 players on the field) maximum players on the team = 8 to 9 players (range 3 to 2.6 quarters per child)

· Six/Seven Year Olds (9 players on the field) maximum players on the team = 12 to 13 players (range 3 to 2.7 quarters per child)

· Eight/Nine Year Olds (10 players on the field) maximum players on the team = 14 to 15 players (range 2.8 to 2.6 quarters per child)

· Ten/Eleven Year Olds (11 players on the field) maximum players on the team = 15 to 16 players (range 2.9 to 2.75 quarters per child)

· Twelve/Fourteen Year Olds (11 players on the field) maximum players on the team = 15 to 16 players (range 2.9 to 2.75 quarters per child)

We buy the max jerseys to fit these numbers and when teams are full we stop taking new sign-ups or keep a waiting list. Certainly the actual number of players signed up may force us to do something different but we should not go over the second number if possible.

The practice capacity that we have to consider with each age group.
12-14 max teams – 10 *
10-11 max teams – 10 * with 9 fields [as in 2007 field arrangement], max of 30 teams between both age groups for allowing two 1 hour practices per week. 
8-9 max teams – 20
6-7 max teams – 20
5s max teams – 20

Just FYI

Ref Pay
Age 6/7 thru age 12/14 is $20.00 per game per referee.
5 Year olds is $15.00 per game.
Tournament day is $10.00 per game due to shortened games.
Just FYI

Seek bids/quotes for pictures. Pictures—All coaches (up to 3 per team) will receive a free 8x10 with their child. We will still receive sponsor and coaches plaques. Photo delivery will be by ? and plaque delivery by ?

USSA and other club organizations need to provide proof of insurance for liability issues regarding the use of the Dynamo Soccer Fields. This would include any other groups that ask to use dynamo fields as well. i.e.. ONU Soccer, Boy scouts etc.  Dynamo needs to set and notify clubs of  fees required to use Dynamo fields.

For post cards we used Key Printing - The entire 2007 order, including having labels printed AND AFFIXED should be between $80 and $100.  Next year we should probably just budget for this to be done by them (or similar) as the cost is so much less than we expected.  If we have more time next year we could save $25 or $30 by affixing the labels ourselves, but given the timing and minimal cost, I think this works out very well. Treasurer

Budget Committee meets to consider previous year's expenditures and Board requests to prepare a balanced budget for the upcoming season, to be presented by the Treasurer and approved by the Board of Directors at the March meeting.

Treasurer

Hire a Physical Therapy company offering a sports medicine.  They will be present at all Saturday games in case there is an injury on the field, answer questions from parents, advise and facilitate treatment, coordinate and participate in rehab. 

In return they will get their name and face out there.  They have their own personal/business liability insurance. OAK has submitted a bid for on site athletic trainer.  Their cost will be $750.00 and they will also pay to sponsor a team

They will be required to keep a log of injuries that will be available to Dynamo Soccer for review.
