Issues

Rob - PAGS issue

  • Rob played game last Sunday (9/11), passes weren't checked because PAGS doesn't require it and coaches have faith in each other
  • at half time half of the players left, parent told him that those players play U14 and secondary U15 - illegal players
  • sent email to coach asked for his secondary roster, then emailed PAGS and they didn't really respond to him
  • turns out 6 girls weren't on his roster
  • Karen sent an email and PAGS responded that AMity didn't have grounds to protest because there wasn't a copy of the roster, PAGS does not seem to want to do anything about it
  • Rob did retain the lineup and can show that the 6 girls that played in the game weren't rostered on the team
  • Next step is to go to EPYSA
  • Actions: Sanctions against the coach and possible overturn of results of the game

Bob Dugans team - looking for secondaries bc he only consistently has 10 players and he plays 9 v 9

  • Winters said he talked to all of his parents and they all said "No" - parents were approached and said they were never asked
  • at this point rosters are frozen so we can add secondaries to Bob's team
  • In the future: Board will tell coach that the board will be directly approaching the coach's parents to ask for secondaries just to make sure it gets done
  • board will consult with the coach to see which players may benefit the most or be the best to secondary

Kevin
