Travel Team – (A. Caschera) Angelo said all the teams are in good shape except for the U12 Boys team. They have only six players and still trying to recruit. The club has a U10 Boys playing indoor session only. The Club will find out if any players on the U10 team would be interested in playing outdoors with the U12 Boys. Discussion was held and apparently there may be only 2-3 players from the indoor team that may be willing to play outdoor. It was decided to keep the U12 Boys team and continue to recruit.

Registrar – (A. Bush) There are only five teams registered. All players need to register online. All adults listed on roster need to be registered and a risk management form needs to be filled out unless they filled it out last year.

Registration will be held on March 1 & 8 from 9am o 12 noon at the Colombo Club. The club has Draper for additional training on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6-8.
