Recreational Program

900 players to date, down from 1085 last year

proceed with penalties for not volunteering, starting with office assignment of shifts and enforcement of no-show fees

Competitive Program

most games were competitive in Phoenix, struggled to score goals no outcomes weren't as positive; U15 Boys 2 struggled all around

finishing up indoor training

Michael (Executive Director) would like to see the FC 1974 name and program expanded: o FC 1974 was created to give top teams and players a way to play at the next level; 7 years in he and the FC 1974 Director feel like we've accomplished that o next step would be to integrate all of GLSA travel under FC 1974 umbrella o top teams continue as is; 3rd and 4th teams would continue as Premier does now; starting at U11 2nd teams would train 3 times a week, keep events more like Premier (older teams may add an event or two)

no formal motion, but Board agreed with changes; structure and fees to be approved at April meeting

Adult League Program

8 teams for spring

season starts late April and will be 8 games; in an effort to try to have season end on time, will utilize Mon/Wed/Fri for make up games

plan is to make two four team groups, with one group being more competitive; teams will play 2 games against each team in their group and one crossover game

Referees

microsoccer clinics are Mar. 14 & 17

Tournaments

150 teams for Libertyville Cup; IYSA has scheduled State Cup semi-finals in Rockford that weekend

motion to approve report by Porter, second by Ralph, passed unopposed

Treasurers Report motion to approve report by Porter, second by Ralph, passed unopposed

Recreational Program

914 players (down from 1085 last year)

one of the real problem age groups is 7,8,9 girls - not enough players for 4 teams which is really the functional minimum; discussion of eliminating 9th grade and making co-ed; will try to poll/talk to parents during the season for spring

Competitive Program

outdoor training was supposed to start last week; training moved indoors due to weather

FC 1974 teams played in Puma Cup in Rockford last weekend, decent results but lots of injuries

Adult League Program

Referees

131 active referees; all games are currently covered

Tournaments

The Chapel approached us about opening up some of their parking for Libertyville Cup and offering hot dogs or something similar; consensus was GLSA doesn't want to lose the concession revenue and feel parking isn't an issue for Cup

VolunteerHub

as mentioned at March meeting, VolunteerHub has done away with the option/platform we have always used, resulting in a significant fee increase. After further investigation Michael and Gina feel this is still the best (really only) option for the way we organize our volunteers

o motion to approve increased VolunteerHub fee for tournaments made by Al, second by Porter, passed unopposed

Tournaments

Octoberfest was cancelled Fri. evening due to weather; a few games did get played

Octoberfest refund/credit for non-GLSA teams o IYSA rules say we can keep 20% for fixed costs ($140 out of $700) o Michael's proposal is keep $100 per team for now to cover costs; give remaining registration fee back as refund now, offer the $100 as a credit for either tournament in 2019

Octoberfest refund/credit for GLSA teams o GLSA teams will get nothing back, we don't pay ourselves to enter them, any replacement tournament will be at player/family cost

Volunteer No Show fee o both No Show and Buyout fees are nonrefundable, even if event cancelled - paid because there was no intent to work

LTSC Report

Site o wooden roofs on 2 shelters and 2 buildings are showing wear; patching is not advised

getting quotes to replace wooden shingles with asphalt shingles on game day coordinator building and maintenance garage; leave shelters as is for now

o same two buildings also have siding issues; plan is for LTSC Board to do work themselves next summer o lights

still researching options o paving

consensus is sealcoating is primarily cosmetic and therefore not worth the cost; behind the curve on crack repair - once caught up will be done annually; $20,000 to crack fill whole complex and restripe Field 1 lot to enforce new traffic pattern $400,000 to repave entire complex; plan is to do worst areas as soon as funds available and then move through rest of complex at least part of money to come from increasing fee users pay to play here

o berm work delayed due to heavy rain and soft ground; now waiting for rec season to end and ground to firm up o trees and bushes from Lurvey's dropped off last week, planting as time permits over next few weeks o landscaping and seeding around turf field will be completed in next few weeks o need internet fixed at shop

Fields o turf management

cutting 2-3 times per week due to heavy rains, painting weekly finished seeding of all fields week of Sep. 17 built fields 5, 7, 9 for Octoberfest marking sprinkler heads and getting ready to deep tine aerate this week last fertilizer application to go down in two weeks irrigation system will be blown out within next week

o turf field conflict - games vs. practices on nights grass fields are closed turf will be training only Mon - Thurs (training trumps games)

Equipment o Toro 580 mower has crack in hydraulic tank, getting quotes on new tank or having Beni fix it
