At our end of season event, we voted in new officers and a handful of rule changes.
The officers for the 2016-2017 season will be:
President: Pete Savino
Vice President: Angela Aquino
Secretary/Treasurer/Webmaster: Mike Schwartz
Grievance Committee:
Angela Aquino (VP Presides)
Marcus Fair (New)
Lawrence Weisdorn
Van Tuck
Michael Lauta (pending acceptance)
Rule Changes:
We used to do 3 fees. A $25 Team Registration fee, a $10 individual player registration fee, and sub fees. Excluding the sub fees, a team would pay $65 to enter the league (the $25 team fee and 4x$10 individual fees.) They would then pay $5 for sub registration fees for the first 2 matches that sub played in. This was a confusing way to do things.
It was voted in that instead of these fees, each team will now pay an $80 registration fee which will cover all registration and sub fees. A team can use as many players and subs as they want and the initial $80 will cover it. If a team ends up not using any subs, their cost of play will increase $15 for the entire season, which works out to less than $5/player, a minimal increase. This will also bring in more money to the league, as, based on last seasons numbers, the old way brought in $220 in sub fees, where this new way will bring in $330 extra.
Weekly dues remain $40/week for each team, however the team captain will have their $10 dues waived for the first week of play as a small thank you gesture for the hard work of being a captain.
The officers hope everyone enjoys their summer, and we look forward to starting the league up again sometime in late September as usual. Look for us to contact everyone some time in August to start putting together teams for the 2016-2017 season!
