QUESTIONS FROM THE FLOOR
· Is a Painting Party scheduled?
No – our contract with Curtis details that he will be painting the fields
· Badges?
Wearing badges as a coach is a suggestion but it alerts people to the fact you are RMA cleared.
· How to contact the board?
Use our website to contact a specific board member or the info link for and the secretary will route the email to the correct person
· Who to contact with questions?
The info email address is answered by the Secretary who will forward the emails to the appropriate board member- to save time you may contact that board member directly
· What are the turnaround times for answering emails?
We are all volunteers and try our best to answer in a timely manner. Please give us more grace in the summer months when schedules are affected by vacations
· What are the dates of the general meetings? Our meetings are generally held on the second Thursday of the month. We do not meet in December. We will do a better job at communicating upcoming events using our Facebook page, email and the website
· Are there any training opportunities for goalies?
Get Big is a program led by Kyle Kelly and Adam- This training is 20.00 and is available at Strawberry Fields
North County offers goal keeper training and sign ups are required as they fill up very quickly
· When can we expect a Snack Shack Schedule?
We are waiting for the North County game schedule as we do not want to schedule teams to volunteer with conflicting away games
· Can we line the practice fields? The MSD does not allow us to line the fields – we suggest using cones to mark the fields- One coach suggested using line pre- measured with the field dimensions
