Old Business

Ditch Picking

  • Overall went well.
  • We made $2175 toward the club.
  • 12 families have not paid for not participating.
  • Recommendation to collect monies for opting out prior to dividing the miles. 
  • Recommendation to increase the opt out fee for next season.

End Of Season Wrap-up

  • Discussion held regarding expenses for coaches.
    • Matti Nelson provided a breakdown of her hours, miles traveled and other expenses.
    • Determined she was getting paid about $10.25 per hour. 
    • This rate did not include time dedicated to practice preparation.
    • No specifics given for what a “good salary” would be but gave the group good information for the 2024 season.
  • Coaches liked the 5 tournaments instead of 6
  • Discussion on option to drop younger team(s) from a tournament or two and participate in local events later into the summer. 
  • Discussed another fundraising opportunity – food concessions at Timbermill during softball and baseball games.
  • Discussed option to practice after final tournament.
  • Discussion to change policy from 4 hours/week of practice to a total # of hours practice per season.
    • This would offset unavailable gym time, school closures, or coaches being gone. 

2024 Financials

  • Of the current balance approximately $3000 is designated to specific player accounts from fundraising events.
  • This leaves $5000 overage towards 2024. This would come out to $50 per player “overpayment” from 2023.
  • $50 would be difficult to offset or reduce cost by.

    • Treasurer’s position will be open
