Winter League – Patrick Austermann & Laura Halfman reporting Fourth year of winter league is taking place in Sports Center in Afton. Registration does not take place on SLUA because of a lack of insurance. It is not sanctioned by USA Ultimate because this early in the year people have not yet renewed memberships, but the Sports Center needs just a waiver. Fee: $65/10 weeks, 5 on 5 game. Laura says this is the first year of women’s league, with 4 teams and a variety of skill levels

Coaches Clinic -- Dana Gray First year had great attendance, subsequent two years the participation decreased. Is there interest in another coaches clinic? Chris Martens suggests that Level 1 doesn’t draw enough interest. Level 2 more interesting. Not enough benefit from USA Ultimate.
