Meeting Notes for the Park View General Membership and Volleyball

Meeting of 6/5/01, 7:00 p.m.

All directors attended

Roll call taken; All schools represented, at the start of the meeting, except St.

Adalbert and St. Paul. St. Paul has probably withdrawn from the league.

Treasurer’s report. Volleyball produced a net loss of $202.00. Basketball

produced a net loss of $2,607.19. The primary reason for this was the necessity to

hire a consultant, due to Tom Linder’s departure from the board. The general

league operations had an overall gain of $407.00, due to interest that was earned,

over and above the general expenses of the league. Lisa reported that the various

accounts were combined into a single account at M&I Bank. There currently is a

$15,934 surplus. There were no questions presented for the treasurer.

Request for new directors. The principal from Blessed Sacrament was reportedly

interested in the league, and possibly a director slot, but was not present at the

meeting. No other people volunteered. The current board was reappointed. We

are currently looking for new members, and it was requested that anyone

interested contact Dennis.

Discussion about admission prices at league games. Current maximums are:

adults $1.00, high school students $.50, grade school $.25. There was discussion,

and a proposal to raise the maximum entry fees to $1.50 for adults, $1.00 for

seniors and high school students, and $.50 for grade school and under. A vote

was taken, there were 10 in favor, 4 against, and 2 abstained. Motion passed to

set the maximum fees as stated above. Schools are under no obligation to charge

the maximum.

There was an explanation of the rescission of the Parkview rule concerning

students from certain non-catholic schools playing for Parkview league teams.

The rule provided that if the school the student attended was a member of another

catholic sanctioned league, the student was not eligible to play for a Parkview

team. The student would not have the option of choosing either their school team

or a Parkview team. While the rule was in existence at Parkview for many years,

it was only used in the very recent past, including twice last year. While the rule

was at odds with a current Archdiocesan rule, the Archdiocese allowed Parkview

to retain and enforce the rule, with a request that we reconsider retaining the rule

this year. Since that time, the two strongest supporters of this rule are no longer

on the board. The directors took a vote, and it was the unanimous vote of the

board that the rule should be rescinded. That is, students who attend non-catholic

schools, for example, Brookfield Academy, would be allowed to participate on

teams in the Parkview League. However, the students would still be subject to

other rules, including the transfer rule, which would prohibit the student from

switching between the teams. The students would not be allowed to

simultaneously participate on both teams. The student must be active in the CCD

program of the parish in the Parkview League.

Dennis advised that there were suspensions sent to the following schools,

concerning coaches, players, or fans: Blessed Sacrament; St. Romans; Sacred

Heart of Jesus; St. Matthias; St. Leonard’s. Schools will be getting letters on each

of these matters.

Neil Witt had asked that all members pick up trophies promptly, so that our

supplier does not end up storing the many boxes at her small facility.

Other league matters. There was discussion of moving teams up and down, from

one division to another. There was some discussion of exceptions being made to

the general rules on assigning teams to divisions, but this would be on a case-bycase

basis, and would be looked at by the board very carefully.

General meeting concluded.

Volleyball meeting began

At the volleyball meeting, Catholic West, Tri Catholic, St. Matthews and St.

Martin of Tours were also present.

Tentative team commitments were taken.

Norm has a new phone number, and a new e-mail address. Do not use the

Children’s hospital e-mail. The number and e-mail address is listed in each

school’s packet of information

Norm requested that all scores be reported by email to keiths@execpc.com

Further, score sheets should be mailed to Norm by the Monday following each

weekend’s games.

Roger is still looking for refs. His phone number is listed in the handouts. Noncertified

refs are paid $13.00 per match. Certified refs are paid $16.00 per match.

18 years of age and older can be certified. 16 years of age and over can ref, and

they will be provided training.

Norm issued a reminder to coordinators to make sure that their scorekeepers don’t

change sides on the score sheets, when the teams change sides on the floor.

In the gym packet, gyms should be listing emergency contacts on that form.

Standings will be on the Parkview site www.execpc.com/stgregsports

Pertinent dates are as follows:

o

July 31, 2001 money due, $160.00 per team. Coaches listing sheet due.

Gym availability sheets due. Any special requests for scheduling must be

made in writing at that time. Norm would try to accommodate teams, but

no guarantees because of the short season.

o August 27, 2001, schedules ready.

o September 1, 2001, rosters due.

o September 8-October 28, the season.

Rosters must be signed by the athletic director, principal, and CCD director, if

there are CCD children participating on a team.

Coaches need to leave the lineup at the scorer’s table at the beginning of each

game. Not just for the scorer to copy, but it should be left there during the game.

The high school rules, which Parkview uses, have changed. Players can be

substituted an unlimited number of times (previously, there was a three time

limit). However, teams can substitute a maximum of eighteen times per game.

If anyone has tournament information, send that to Norm before July 31, and he

will distribute with the schedules.

There is a coach’s certification clinic on August 18, at St. Josephs in Wauwatosa.

St. Alphonsus will have a clinic, but that needs to be approved for certification

purposes by the Archdiocese.

Norm received a terrible response on the three hit awards. Norm called fifteen

coaches and had difficulty contacting them, which ultimately delayed the ordering

of trophies. The concept of the three hit award was almost unanimously favored

by the coordinators. This year it will be up to the coordinators to collect the three

hit votes from each of the coaches, and call them into Norm. Coaches can vote

for anyone other than the 1st and 2nd place teams. And it only applies to 5th and 6th

grade. If the teams are not voting or responding, this probably will be

discontinued next year.
