Interlocking Regions 60 - B & G14, B12 – 1 off or bye 40 – B & G14 98 – B & G14 908 – B & G 14, GU12, GU10 1304 – B & G14, GU12, U10 Coaches meeting – apply same rules as last year- To send Area 1C rules Area – Jane Individual Guidelines will soon be – National Regional Procedures and Protocol, if you have your own rules you must have an appendix or PDF in place by MY2016. Must have guideline sheet signed tonight. Teams will not move on to section play unless the Region has a full board (required 7 positions) and accounts up to date/paid. VIP- Tom Regan I would like to get a jump on planning the VIP Spring Camp for 2016 and wanted to get your thoughts regarding the camp so we can coordinate more effectively. So far, I have looked at the 2016 calendar and come up with two six-week camp scenarios: 1. March 13 - April 24 with off day March 27 for Easter 2. April 3 - May 8 (no break) The camp would be split into two sessions as this past Spring as it is easier to manage for UK soccer trainers and requires fewer volunteers. I spoke with Neil Hitchman at UK Soccer and he says his trainers prefer the back-to-back schedule as they are driving from the Thousand Oaks-Agoura Hills area. Also, he can staff either schedule I listed above. I would like the following from all of you: 1. Comments regarding the past two camps: a. The way it's run b. The location c. The timing d. Any other comments 2. Is Arroyo South available for either camp schedule? If we stay at this location, how

soon can we get a commitment from the City to use it for the Spring camp? Ideally, I need responses from everyone by the end of next week so we can move forward with this. I would like to revise the attached camp flyer with the new dates, etc. prior to the beginning of the Fall season so we can post it on the Area 1C website and you can distribute it to all of your VIP players and families during the Fall season. CVPA – check on your red flag volunteers If you are putting a comment please make it a short comment to say “contact you for further information”. Management Classes – Yeseenia 3 Regions- 40, 60, 214 are in compliance with your board, the other regions need to get their volunteer training done to be able to advance All-Star – Craig Dunkin Calendar will be distributed in the next few days Roadshow/Leo Nedeff Camp – Second weekend of Jan, we will have games that weekend, section only Dec 19 and 20 Play-thru Playoffs- Draw for match up at October meeting 1st week of Jan – coaches meeting Craig is working on website, hope to get a better understanding of referee assignments and what game responsibility is, be more user friendly. Play down issue – Discussion had about regions not providing a Section level team, but instead placing a team in Area play, currently that team not eligible for Area playoffs. Proposal made by Craig- I would favor a compromise that would require a detailed reporting of the reasons as well as a recommendation by the AD and PSC, plus a 2/3 majority vote, which prevents one voting bloc from railroading a team through. Teams may apply to “play down” from sectional to area, area to regional or area to regional. Teams wishing to do so must state, with detail, their reasons for doing so. This includes details of the ages of the players of the teams, past records of teams in the same division when playing at any levels, numbers of players on interlocking or play-through teams and the records of those teams during interlock or play-through. These requests, with information, must be submitted to the Area Director and post-season coordinator no later than December 15. The Area Director and/or post-season coordinator will then make a non-binding recommendation on the request. The matter will then be put to a vote of all the RCs in the Area. If 2/3 of the RCs approve, the request will be granted and the team will be allowed to “play down” and will be eligible for the playoffs. A team that does not follow this procedure may still play down, but it will not be eligible for the playoffs.

Motion made by Lisa, no second made. YDP – Tabled until next meeting New Business – Meeting adjourned at 9:30pm Minutes submitted by: Vicki Barstow

Region Reports Region 2- Peter Smock Region 2's final number is 1750. Our teams have been practicing for two weeks. We have held our coach pre-season and team manager meetings. Another coach meeting will be the Wednesday after the season starts. That will probably be an airing of grievances. Very few drops in any division. We have a U-12 class tomorrow night and Saturday. Participants will be fed tomorrow night. A region ref course will be held Saturday. I have identified a successor. Region 13 – Al Prado

We have registered 3,589 players at this point, 2 more than last year. Still 177 pre-registered, but getting them registered will take an act of Congress.
