Member’s Concerns:

 

·         The logistics of getting player passes in time for a game was discussed – City Representatives are not available all the time to verify paperwork and issue passes.  Some temporary measures were discussed such as bringing the signed release form and a driver’s license to the game and letting the referees determine eligibility.  Asking for agreement from the opposing team was also mentioned.  The conclusion of the discussion was that team representatives should coordinate with there City Representatives and plan ahead in arranging to get new player passes.
