54 teams (29 boys, 25 girls) registered so far (down a few from this time last year)-aiming for 72-80 teams total

15 sponsors providing services or money or products

VSWC Architects and 16 Lots and Mad Monks pizza as well as other contacts have been made; we’re trying to get to $6,000

We can borrow Mary’s golf cart, the school’s gator, and carts from Warren County

Julie Polnow will be the volunteer coordinator with help from Ron Schewe as well as coordinate the Senior Showcases

Melissa Kramer will be working the Twitter account for updates

A tshirt sale coordinator is still needed; please let Mark know if you can help on this

  • Scholarships – we had five applications for scholarships; winners will receive $1,000 each; Emma Schewe, Jordan Reddington, Annie Metzger, McKenna Egan, Justin Gorski

We will table the discussion for what happens if there are fewer than five applicants

The scholarships need to be promoted and players well-informed

  • MABA Update – no update
  • Spiritwear – Dawn Berryman-

There is some lobbying for spiritwear to be Nike this year. This will add $15-16 to each players packet cost for a total of about $1800. No other sport pays for sportswear for athletes to keep. We have a contract we would need to honor through the school; this is tabled until later but needs decided at least a month before teams are named

  • Soccer Camp – Ron Gecks

Good progress so far; 80 registrants and still accepting; FC Cincinnati is coming one day to talk and sign; seniors have been asked to help (Neero reached out); additional parent volunteers may be needed for the first day; this is run by Coaches Schur and Reedy

  • FC night is May 26th for the girls to have a half-time shoot out versus Louisville City; we have to commit and prepay for tickets; collect money through Vendmo app for discounted tickets; tickets were already purchased ($12) and we are now recouping
  • Nancy Thomas is taking over Twitter and volunteer sign ups; Julie Polnow is taking over the volunteer coordinator job for Preseason Classic and concessions
  • New Business-we need new signage since Reedy retired
