o Steve met with Josh Groves, Frank Sanchez, Chris Brennan, Simon Rothman and Justin Sells to go over
and readdress U12 State Cup.
o After a long discussion with some wanting to see this, some not and some not wanting it to happen this
year. Do you go 11 v 11 or play 8 v 8 until state cup and go 11 v 11, the State has mandated 8 v 8 at U11

let the Directors of Coaching make a recommendation that Steve could take to the state and let them
decide.
