Meeting minutes from tonight's parent meeting

1. Goalie situation: They have several things they are working on. Ross listed the following:
    a) They've contacted Kendel H. He is a U13 that plays catcher and goalie for the Christian Academy. He will come to practice next week for a tryout.
    b) Posted goalie request on SC Soccer website. Joel reports that 150 folks have viewed the request so far.
    c) Kevin Mc. (with US Club) soccer is actively looking for US Club players moving to or living near the area.
    d) Talking to area JV coaches
    e) Possible partnership with Aiken Soccer Club
 
2. Kevin Mc. (above) has put us in touch with a kid moving here in August from California -- not a goalie.  He plays at the gold level and will try out.
