This was based on direction from the team selection review committee to drive skills based teams as far into the age group as possible while keeping all teams competitive in their respective divisions. G12 C and D teams lost almost all games last fall. Based on that, it was agreed by the coordinator and coach that the A team could be skills based, but that the B and C teams (there is no D team this Spring) had to be balanced for all teams to be competitive (win some, lose some). One issue limiting us is sizewith only 3 teams, it is difficult to have a second skills based team for the Tier 2 players using the level of competition in existing divisions. Comments from a number of parents regarding placing the Tier 2 players on balanced teams. First the players werent informed about the change, and thought they had been moved down. A player on the skills based team in the Fall was suddenly playing with a player who had never played before. The child experienced loss of interest and motivation. They work hard to improve, yet feel they were demoted. Another issue brought up was that the current A team was made of mostly 6th graders who would leave, resulting in the fact that players who were now playing in the lowest possible division would be playing Ncup in the Fall, but would not be prepared for this substantial change in competition. In reviewing the team selection review committee recommendations, one of those recommendations was to develop appropriate level of competition for the lower skilled teams. There was no follow up to put this into place. It was pointed out that it is difficult to ask coordinators to do this on their own since it requires substantial experience to do this effectively, and coordinators change yearly. It was suggested that there be a board level position (competition director?) to whom the coordinators can go for help find appropriate competition for the lowest teams. Suggested improvements: There needs to be communication about how the teams were made, especially when changes like this happen. Team naming conventions imply GU12C was lower when in fact it was equal. Suggest talking to NVYSL about alternative naming convention. Action: Owner: Tim Wright. Reconvene Team Selection committee to address the issues that G12 experience this Spring. Specifically, the team selection committee needs to provide more concrete and specific direction to age group coordinators that will result in the maximum number of skill based teams possible for each age group, certainly more than 1. Barbara Petroulis and John Hildreth interested in helping. NOTE: Final results should be documented in a modification to the existing Team Selection Guidelines document. 2) Uniforms. Several young people were gracious enough to model a number of new uniforms. Mark provided a handout with description and pricing. Motion to change to the Adidas Cosmo style. Passed 6 to 0 Motion to have color be navy blue and white (not Royal Blue): passed 4 to 2 Motion for number placement on front in the center: passed 6-0 Will discuss the logo at the next meeting. Motion regarding roll out strategy: We should order all at once. Motion: 6-0, with offer of assistance for U10s who just had to purchase a uniform this year. Meeting adjourned due to NVYSL meeting coming in. NEXT BOARD MEETING WILL BE MONDAY, JUNE 6TH, 7:00 PM. IN THE HAPGOOD ROOM .
