McCoart Bldg Board Chambers

65 Refs in Attendance

Meeting Business: Barry Sherry made the case for assessments. (Club dues to help defer costs for activities, mailings, gifts from the association). PWSRA has no operating budget, therefore has no money to send mailings or provide small gifts for guest speakers. Would like to sponsor youth referees to attend Pride Academy. 
  Permissible under the PWSRA bylaws
  mentors for pre-season referee clinics
  provide t-shirts for mentors
  purchase door prizes for meetings

Jim Griffin motioned first to pay $5 fee for dues, Lauren Sclater second the motion.  Before the vote a second motion was made to have adult refs pay $10 per season and youths (18 years and under) pay $5.  Discussion ensued on what constituted an adult, whether it was 18 or 21. The motion that was carried and passed was for $5/$10 per season with the fees deducted from the check at the end of the season.

Modified Rules for Spring 2007 for U8s: 

• play 4 quarters lasting 12 minutes each
• find natural stoppage in game
• restart quarters two and four with the restart waiting to happen
• all modifications will be found on PWSRA website

Position of teams/coaches/parents on field at Howison-JCF

•  recommend there be a division with both sets of teams and coaches on one side of field and both sets of parents on the other side; just like travel soccer

Youth Referee Time was chaired by Lauren Sclater. It was reported back that many of the young refs were disrespectful during this time leading to the possibility that we will not have this time again. 

Barry showed a picture of the new Referee Flip Coins. They were ordered but held up somewhere.  Will be used as thank you gifts for guest speakers and available for purchase for $3.00

Barry also discussed the WAGS Tournament 

• October 6-8, 2007
• no longer use the “phone in” system to assign games
• will utilize the.Arbiter
• WAGS pay scale for referees not matter whether they are tournament length or weather-shortened
• Sub-Assignors: Barry will assign for PWSRA for all Prince William fields
