John Moran called meeting to order at 7:20 p.m.

Minutes of August 15 meeting approved.

New Business:

New executive committee positions-vote required.

Sr. Karla and Nikki Ward approved the new positions for girl’s lacrosse rep. and girl’s soccer rep. The representatives would be Mollie Gronseth and Katherine Taddeo respectively.

A ballot needs to be done during registration of the sports to place these ladies in the positions. A motion was made by Laurie Maddox for these positions and seconded by Sonya Davis. Now the vote to the participants needs to be held.

Safe environment compliance-

The SCCYAA rep for each sport needs to be certain ALL the safe environment criteria have been met PRIOR to the coaches working with the children. There needs to be a deadline for all safe environment to be completed before the sport begins.  If it is not completed the person does NOT coach.

Information needs to come from Michael Lee of the diocese as to whether non-sanctioned sports need safe environment. 90% of the current coaches have not completed everything for safe environment.

There was some discussion that the computer center could be provided; so all the coaches of a particular sport could complete the computer portion at the same time.

All SCCYAA board members should go through safe environment training.

Parking Problems-

More red curbs will be painted.

This is a real safety issue. There has been some discussion as to whether or not to ticket the offenders.  A written warning would be posted on the vehicle first.  (An example was available at the meeting) It clearly states that the vehicle is parked in a tow zone, the vehicle would be entered in a database, and if it occurs again, it will be towed and impounded. This needs to be approved by the principals and then put into action as soon as possible.

SCCC communications with SCCYAA-

SCCC would like a SCCYAA representative at their board meetings beginning in October. They prefer it be one or two of the same people, to maintain continuity.

Uniform Contract-

Bids need to be gathered from at least 3 companies.

Accounting Update-Kim Darby

Kim had a handout of the finances. She will attend meetings for a quarterly update on finances.

Winter sports pre-season planning—Basketball and Wrestling

Chris Long may be interested in coaching 6-7-8 grade wrestling.
John Gavin may be interested in coaching the Little Eagles.

Sponsors need to be found for comp league winter sports. This league will consist of cuts, assessments and drafts.

Committee Updates:

Standards-Katherine Taddeo

She is going to set up a file on each coach. It will contain all their signed documents.

She is going to put together a coaches packet with all the information they need to fill out. She will give Kim Darby the complete list of coaches and Kim will check to see that all the necessary information is completed.  Anything that is now completed, she will let that particular sport rep know and they will see to it that the coach completes the necessary information.

The coaches will have 2 weeks from the time they get their coaches packet to the time it needs to be turned in and approved.
