Issues Discussed: • Gender Specific Age Groups: It was decided that as long as there were enough players for 4 teams in the U-6 and U-8 age groups, teams would stay gender specific for the spring season. If team numbers dropped below 4, then teams would be co-ed. U-10 will remain co-ed for the spring season. • Jimmy Wynn made a motion, seconded by Mark Temple. That U-8 games would include a goal keeper beginning with the spring season. No player is permitted to play more than one half of any game as a goal keeper. Game will still be played as 5 v 5, with one player identified as the goal keeper. Motion Passed 3-1 • Scheduling: Start and Ending Dates: Start Date is April 5th and ending date is May 17th. U-6 will play 10 games. U-8 & U-10 will play 8 games with a season ending tournament to follow. Wednesday and Sunday will be utilized as make-up dates only. • Jamey Balew made a motion, Seconded by Mark Temple. For U-8 & U-10 tournament games only, if at the end of regulation time the scored is tied, the teams will play two 5 minute halves, if still tied; FIFA kicks from the Mark will determine the winning or advancing team.
