4. Fall Ball: There was discussion as to whether the Board wanted to offer Fall Ball. There was a suggestion to add a tournament to Fall Ball. It was mentioned that adding a tournament has associated costs. It was noted that people are needed to run Fall Ball, e.g. one person to organize it and another five to six people to coach. The timing of Fall Ball is typically six to eight weeks in the September/October timeframe. If TCLL decides to have Fall Ball, advertising needs to begin in July/August. A straw poll was taken to determine who was in favor of having Fall Ball. Fifty percent (5 people) were in favor and none were opposed. It was decided to poll the TCLL membership to see how many would be interested in participating in Fall Ball. The poll will be in the form of a survey that will also include questions asking whether the respondent is more interested in Fall Ball being instructional or competitive and whether the respondent is interested in coaching. It was also noted that first we need to find out whether the fields are available for Fall Ball. If it is determined that the fields are available, then the survey will be distributed and the results of the survey will be considered in deciding whether to have Fall Ball.
5. Committees: At the next meeting of the new Board, Steve Cousins will propose committees and committee memberships. These committees will meet separate from Board Meetings and will provide reports at Board meetings. Committees can have non-board members on them. Steve Cousins hopes to send out meeting agendas at least one week prior to Board meetings.
6. Next Meeting: If it looks like there may be Fall Ball, then there will likely be an August Board meeting. Otherwise, the next meeting will be in September.
7. Steve Cousins adjourned the meeting at 2:30PM.
