Meeting Today 11/8

Ok, so here is a rough outline of what we discussed at the meeting today at Preggo's apt.

1) We are going to have a monthly meeting around the first Tuesday or Thursday of each month to discuss goals, tournaments, and anything else we might be doing during that month. This will help to keep everyone aware of stuff and lower the time spent discussing this stuff during actual practices. We are going to try to rotate who brings the pizza, sodas, and cookies so please be prepared to volunteer for something.

2) Our tourney-We are planning on hosting on in January. Most likely the first or second weekend we get back to school. This is a huge fundraiser for us! If you have friends on other Texas teams (UTA, TX state, etc) start talking up our tourney. We are going to work on getting fields and stuff this month. It needs to be set up before finals!

3) T-shirts/Jerseys-We have to get some more money in the account before we can purchase jerseys OR people can bring their $60 and we can put it towards jerseys sooner. My goal is to use the money raised from our tourney and purchase jerseys immediately. As for shirts, we should be able to purchase a small amount (like 50) and sell them. We should be able to purchase them for around $6 and sell them (fingers crossed) for $15. This should allow us to make some money for our club.

4) Profit Shares-We have one coming up on November 19th. I was told this is a home football game which starts at 11am. I believe we have the profit share from 2-4pm which should be perfect to catch the after game crowd. However, we have to advertise WAY better than last time. Ideas include chalking our cars, passing out flyers, announcing it in class, fb event, and handing out stuff at the tailgates before the game. Preggo and Frankie have volunteered to work on making copies of the flyers for everyone to hand out.

5) Spirit Award-For those that attended Harvest, we were given one jersey and one tshirt in our team pack. Frankie and I decided that it would be fair if everyone that went voted for someone whom they thought showed good spirit, worked hard, and overall demonstrated a great team player. The votes need to be submitted to ME through Sam mail by THURSDAY before 4:30pm (we will announce the winner Thursday at practice). If you don't care to vote, don't worry about it.

6) We discussed this blog. If you're looking at this, you know about it. Keep checking it about once a week. More when we have a tourney or fundraiser going on. I plan on adding stuff every other day or so.

7) Practice Changes-We will be practicing all the way until the week of finals (an actual date will be decided as they get closer). We are going to go to a vertical stack. Vets, you know what I'm talking about. Rookies, you can google 'vertical stack ultimate frisbee' to learn some basics about it. I think it's going to fit our team better. We need to up our intensity and conditioning. I am available every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:30 until practice time to work out, throw, whatever. Preggo is available MWF? from 12-1pm I believe to work out at the Rec. Facebook her for more info.

8) Thinking about frisbee 4 times a week. I've mentioned this several times but just in case you've missed it...I've asked for the commitment of at least 20 min a day 4 days a week to something frisbee related. See my other post for ideas.

Ok, I think that's the majority of it. We will either have regular practice on Thursday or an HKC workout day so be prepared for either. We will let you know as soon as possible which it will be. Also, one other thing...don't ever be afraid to talk to Frankie or myself about anything. We are willing to do our best to help you in whatever is going on in your life. See you Thursday!
