April practices & clinics

Captain Jen suggested practices begin in April on Monday nights. As well, there have been some resumes sent for the male side of the roster. Combining the two, we can have tryouts AND practices. It's like sliced bread!

April 3rd might be a bit early to schedule at this point, but I will tentatively set April 10th at 6pm as the first practice. The where is a question. Douglas Park, per tradition I guess. There is another field down in Charleson Park that is always empty, but parking would be an issue.

Also, I don't think we should mess around: if the new guys don't show, that's a strike against them.

Also also, the VUL has posted it's Spring Clinic series, for the interested.

Team finances - Fall surplus, Summer Fees

There is a surplus of $96.16 from Fall session fees, due mostly to the roster expanding after the season began. This will be applied to the summer fees of the players who over-contributed. Speaking of which, the team’s overall fee for aforementioned summer session is $986, and is due by 5:00 p.m., April 26, 2006. There is also something called a “Performance Bond“, the precise details of which I am currently ignorant. I believe the gist is a team puts up a lump sum at the start of the session, and gets it back in full at the end if they don’t default a game, or a portion calculated by how many games a team does default.
