a. The current system is broken. The big issue is of two different balances, 1 for registration and one for player accounts. c) SDSSA Fees a. New state fees start in August 2017. a) The $11 per player fee for competitive goes to $15 b) New $10 fee for coaches which includes Rec team coaches. As far as preparing the budget, – Prepare the budget by just paying the fees rather than assuming a change for Academy. Doug and Luis will look into differences between REC-A vs REC and what can we do as REC-A? d) Uniforms (Vender change) e) TD Posting -- Even though the position is open in the organization, it was decided that we don’t have to advertise at this time for the position.

We have receive $5000 for Trans America scholarships This scholarship is more wide open on how it can be spent. i.
