2. NVYSL Update –MYSA is changing to a new registration system, should not create a problem for us.  Additionally new SORI fingerprint check will be needed for fall of 2019.  Bob Stall gave notice to resign. In the future look for deadlines to get earlier

The league is looking for a new Sportsmanship Director and Gr5/6 Director.  

League is looking for NCup referees – Littleton needs to come up with recommendations

League needs volunteers for Sportsmanship committee.

MYSA is upping the fee to $17 per player so we need to factor that into our fall registrations

We need to provide new spring players/coaches list to MYSA

3. Tryouts – we need to shorten the game time as 1.5 hours too much high intensity especially at the younger age levels.  We will not have a Gr7/8 tryout this spring as not needed due to numbers
