Travel Director's Report: Girl's team selection meeting has been held. Boy's team meeting this Sunday, 7:00 pm at Maple St. Church. Coaches selection meeting Monday, June 20 8:00 pm at Liberty Tree Stop'n'Shop. Problem of dual-rostered players at ages older than U14 was discussed. A DYS U16 team forfeited games due to a dual-rostered player. Methods need to be determined to prevent coaches from dual-rostering on the sly, as it reflects on DYS. Coach selection process was discussed. Tryouts discussed - not as many players are participating in tryouts as in prior years. One problem was conflict with other sports (baseball) was particularly bad this year.

VP Admin: Intramural season extended one week. A mini-tournament will be played at the end of the season. There is a plan to cooperate with North Andover in the Fall, perhaps with an end of season soccer jamboree. Player ratings will be obtained by the end of the season. Doing very well for U7 coaches for the Fall 05 season. Will be making moves to make the U10 program more competitive in the Fall, as a means to retaining players. Trophies will be handed out to U6 players at end of season.
