Playing other cities, overall was very enjoyable. 8. Fair Turn Sports coaching tools were utilized and available to all coaches. Negatives 1. Coaching clinic needs to include a skill development component. 2. Fair Turn Sports wheel did not seem to work as well with the older ages. 3. We need to try and coordinate all "rules" with the area cities we compete against. 4. The coaches voted on the MEA situation and the vote ended up with 6 saying to keep MEA weekend on the schedule, 2 voted to eliminate that game, and 2 were neutral. We will be addressing this issue before next season. 5. Our photographer that we hired for our picture day did not get very good reviews. I was in agreement on that ( I was there that day) and would like to pursue another photographer. Conclusion The coaches did a wonderful job this fall and the season was a big success. The two • biggest issues were the MEA weekend and the coaches clinic should have a skill component included.
