Member Accounts Report February Notices sent out to declined credit card members, had feedback that the site wasn t accepting credit card payments at one point from one family, but others seem to have paid without issue, so perhaps just a one time glitch. Notices sent out to those who haven t paid. Fees applied. Gave final list of more than two months overdue for January to the Oscar and Jason and they have worked on communicating with those players and families and possibly pulled player cards. They will get February s list in the next couple of days, which contains many of the same people as the month prior. Affinity- Have received notification that my status on Affinity has been updated to allow more access to the site. Hopefully will begin training on that soon so that we can start out the new season with that program. New Season- Need to come up with a game plan for how to address people with left over balances who are registering for try outs.
DOC Report Last months January recap. Finished up with the Pac Nw Tournament, the club was well represented in the semi finals and finals. The transition with me taking the GU10S is going well. I was able to train the BU12w and BU14 3 times In January. Both teams have enough talent to do better. Both teams need to be more focused at training. Talked with David and Oscar and there working harder with this problem. The majority of teams are having a better Spring season than fall. Coaches sideline behavior has been excellent. Myself and Jason will have the High School coaching staff out shortly with the rest of the coaching staff out shortly after that for the boards review. We had a coach's meeting on the 27th. We talked about up and coming rule changes. Over the last month or so I'd asked our younger Jr Academy coach's to become more engaged and upbeat with their teams. I was able to praise them on a job well done in accomplishing this. Attended the DOC face to face meeting at Starfire this morning. It was a long meeting with many topics discussed. Todd Lincoln will be sending out a recap shortly which I will forward when I receive it.
