Las Cruces Soccer Referee Assn. General Meeting
Location: Gerald Thomas Hall, Room 200
Date: Mar. 10, 2010
Call to order by President Bill Lindemann
A motion to correct the February minutes was made by Gina Gomez and seconded by
Cathy
Short. The motion was to change the recognition of Andy Bristol's years of
service from 32 years to 22 years, as he so affirmed.
Treasurer report: Gary Manley gave the treasurer report stating that there is
over $3600 in the checking account.
Bill recognized two new referees for the excellent work and appearance on the
field. Nicole Shoemaker and Jaime Espinoza were recognized and Nicole
received a $10 gift card to Sonic. Jaime will receive his when he attends
the next meeting. Bill also sent a card around for everyone to sign to go to
Monty Wellborn. Monty, a long time active LCSRA referee, is in Sierra
Hospital with an infection.
Rick
Hendricks, a referee and past President of the HNSL, informed the group that the
new president for High Noon Soccer League is Dr. Anton Milavec. Rick will
be moving to Santa Fe at the end of March.
Dominique Gbogbo thanked the referees for starting out doing a great job this
Spring season for the Mesilla Valley Soccer League. Bill Lindemann said he
needed more referees to do centers on the men's open games. Bill is
working in the new referees on the adult games.
Gary Manley communicated what each referee should do about checking on game
assignments, informing about conflicts, doing game reports and accepting game
assignments.
Tom Duttle mentioned that the Striker Cup would be a good opportunity for assessment.
Those that need to have grade 6 and 7 maintenance assessments need to
communicate that to Gary. Get the assessments done early; don't wait until
fall.
If a youth referee has a problem that needs attention, please see Patrick Montelongo,
especially if your not comfortable going to an adult referee.
Under new business, Bill Lindemann covered Striker Cup Rules, Professionalism
(attitude, dress, good signals, and verbal commands). The Striker Cup
rules are on the web page. He also passed out
some free Velcro patches to be used to attach referee patch to shirt.
Example of what not to wear as a professional referee was demonstrated by Andrew
Bristol. Rick Hendricks will be the referee coordinator for the Striker Cup.
His cell phone number is 650-3205. Games will be paid for in cash at the fields.
There was not enough time for training tonight.
Adjournment of the meeting at 8:20 PM.
