Meeting called to order: 8:30am. James McBain presiding
1. D9 meeting update
Liability insurance for non-participants (participants and coaches are fully insured) discussed. McBain will look into the potential for additional insurance. Board prefers to keep current insurance netting is in place and potential hazards are obvious. Board would consider signs reminding the public of their responsibility at games.
District coaching clinic with “Big Al” suggested with different leagues sharing cost. Decision was made to arrange RNLL training that will meet our needs at a more appropriate time. (once we know who the coaches are) Ellen and Craig will follow up.
Request made to District 9 for Jackson Roo’s Tournament to occur the weekend following mother’s day. The expectation is that rules will be different from last year and it will be a true championship tournament. James suggested to D9 that RNLL be allowed to run the tournament.
