New Business: Dick’s Sporting Goods: Executive board met with Brandon. Very important to do the sales days where we push business their way. Sport night in spring and fall with all of the sports together. He is even open to having registrations available in the store. In the past the store set the date, but we can control that a little more, as well as having an entire weekend. They need 8 weeks notice to order specific products that we may want stocked for our teams. Will let Brandon know that we have had issues in the past and that we want more green gear. Brandon will attend our next board meeting, so all should come prepared with questions.

November is our annual meeting. Last year we met with all BCHS coaches. What do we want to do this year? We need to have good communication about what we all want to do.

Old Business: Golf Cart needs serviced. Lights on Sheds need replaced. Casey is going to look to see if they are replaceable.

Sports Reports

Baseball & Fall Baseball & Midget Baseball –Troy – Not present emailed update. Juniors- Registration open right now, tryouts on October 18th. From what I am hearing we are losing a lot of players to club level ball...Diamond club, slammers etc. Every time we turn around another "club ball" organization is opening and offering "elite" level tryouts.Very frustrating.

Fall Ball- Ray (it seems to be going very well and I have heard nothing but good things about it.

Midgets-Josh (should be nothing to report)

Fall Softball- Going very well, competition is outstanding, organization at AYL has been very good.Should be able to grow it next year.

Yes I will take on the Baseball Director position for 2 more years, lots of changes happening with the landscape right now ??? Hopefully by then we will have somebody from the Baseball Board wanting to take it over.
