I. Announcements

The meeting began at 7pm and was held in the GHS commons. 

Carlos Gardea introduced the new officers for the 2010 soccer season.  He and CJ Cameron will share the presidency Annette Coe is the vice president, Debbie Mullis is the treasurer and David Gaume is the secretary. 

Coach Kidd stated that the men’s teams will participate in the preseason tournaments at New Braunfels, Kingwood and the Governors Cup.  There will be a scrimmage on January 5th at GHS with Austin Bowie and Connolly and New Braunfels Canyon.  The 16 team round robin in San Antonio is uncertain as there has been a change of coaches at Churchill who has been the coordinator of the event. 

There are 55 candidates for the men’s soccer team and 34 for the freshman team. 

Coach Mc Bride stated the women’s team will scrimmage Belton on January 4th , participate in preseason tournaments at the Woodland’s (January 8 and 9), St. Steven’s (January 14 – 16) and host the Governor’s Cup (January 21 – 23).   

There are 42 candidates for the women’s soccer team and 25 for the freshman team.

 

We will not be working the concession stands during the football season. 

Debbie Mullis presented a balance sheet as of today listing a cash balance of $18,747.54.  The income statement for the one year ending June 30, 2009 had a net loss of $5,210.54 

Each coach stated that their team will take one out of town trip which will require funds from the booster club.  They estimate the costs to be $5,550 for each varsity team. 

Coach Kidd announced that Coach Griffin will be the new freshman coach this year as Coach Gandy is the new head track coach. 

Coach Kidd announces that after school practice will not begin until after Thanksgiving in accordance with UIL rules.

II. Discussion

Carlos G. discussed the need for many volunteers for the upcoming year as there are open positions for key booster club events.  Several of the positions were held by parents of graduating seniors who will not be participating this year.  Sign up sheets were made available for the open positions for those in attendance. The Spaghetti dinner which is held in early January needs a leader to organize this kickoff event. 

Coach Mc Bride commented that a new Governor’s Cup director will be needed for the women’s event as the director for last year is not returning.  

The topic of new game day shirts was presented.  The concept is for the teams to wear a soccer style jersey with the school G on the chest and yet to be developed soccer crest on the sleeves to replace the black polo shirts.  The idea was well received and asked to be pursued further. 

Changes are being made to the school’s soccer website.  The goal is to have the school site highlight the teams and players while providing a link to the booster club site.  We hope to provide something similar to the Westwood site which has been the benchmark for quite some time.  The booster site would list upcoming events and provide parents an opportunity to give us their email address so they can be contacted on volunteering opportunities.   
 

The meeting came to closure at 8:10.
