Hi All,

Below is a message from Laura Watkins, she is the DeAnza League Registrar as well as the Assistant District Registrar for Foothill….All the stuff I process goes to her next so her vacation time is important for our processing schedule.  Please note if a team needs to be processed for tournaments the weekend of July 7^th and 8^th I must have the paperwork by the 13^th of June in order to get it to Laura before her vacation.

Any questions let me know.

Thanks,

Colleen.

All,

Below is an email I just sent to De Anza coaches with information about Abronzino deadlines, in case this is helpful to you with your teams.

Note also the dates that I will be out of town – June 22 – July 6^th.  If you have team registration packets that teams will need on or before the weekend of July 7/8, please try to get those to me no later than June 15^th.  The sooner the better, as if everyone drops off stacks on June 15^th, it will be a challenge to get through all of them before I leave.  My objective is to leave only emergencies for Melinda to deal with, not a stack of initial team registration packets.  I realize this puts some pressure on everyone, but I am hoping this won’t be too much of an issue, since the dates I will be gone have been known for awhile.

Thanks,

Laura

De Anza Coaches and Managers,

The registration deadlines I gave you in your registration packet were 1) 4 weeks before the first date you need your paperwork, or 2) the deadline for registration with whichever playing league your team is registering for, whichever comes first.  The Abronzino registration instructions are now posted.  Please go to the website for detailed information and to complete your online registration.  Please read below for information on how this impacts your De Anza registration. 

Key deadlines and requirements this year for Abronzino are:

-     July 8^th – On-line registration CLOSES; last date to get c1 team registration packets turned in to league registrar.  As a reminder, it is each individual team’s responsibility to meet these deadlines.  Please do not expect someone from the league to monitor the Abronzino site and remind you to register if you have not.  

-     July 9^th – Abronzino Board Meeting where paperwork for each team registered with Abronzino must be turned in by league rep

So… what does this mean for your team if your team is a class 1 team registering for Abronzino?  It means that you have to have either of the following completed and approved by the league registrar (me) no later than July 8^th:

-     Abronzino questionnaire – print this out from the website and turn in with your team’s registration paperwork (I cannot approve questionnaires without the team’s registration packet), or

-     2007-08 goldenrod, signed/approved by league and district – generated after processing team registration

Recall that I am out of town/country for two weeks from June 22 – July 6.  In my absence, the district registrar will be covering emergencies, but not processing initial team registration packets.  So:

-     Paperwork turned in between now and June 15^th – if paperwork is complete, your goldenrod should be ready for the Abronzino meeting on July 9^th

-     Paperwork turned in between June 15 and June 19^th – there is a possibility your goldenrod will be ready for the Abronzino meeting on July 9^th, but you should definitely turn in a completed questionnaire

-     Paperwork turned in after June 19^th – you should assume your goldenrod will not be ready for the July 9^th meeting, so you must turn in a completed questionnaire

Delgado registration instructions are not yet available on-line, but I would encourage class 3 teams to get their registration paperwork in order quickly, in case Delgado has requirements similar to Abronzino.

Please make sure to include a check for league and field fees with your registration materials.  Registration packets are not complete without payment.

Let me know if you have questions.

Laura
