Trying this again.  A few things I needed to cover.
1. We need a school to host part of the SLUJ invite on Saturday, April
18th. It would be set if it was near desmet. We need two fields all
day on saturday.

2. It looks like will have to go with the original schedule. If I
could get teams that want to, or are willing to, start later to email
me, I could schedule themb against each other week 1 and they could
reschedule.

3. For those teams that are close on a jv team, would any of you be
willing to field a team for a mini jv league that plays on a different
day. They would play less games, the players could still come to your
vasity gamas on sunday, and you could get your younger players some
game time. Thoughts?

4. Paperwok is due at the meeting on the 24th. Discs and rule books
will be handed out at the meeting.

Let me know if you have any questions.

For Parkway North, I do not foresee a JV team ... that is, we will be
filling just ONE team -- most likely with a freaky mix of equal
numbers of seniors and freshmen, with little in between.

I also have mixed feelings about the A & B division issue -- no clear
preference either way.

I also forgot A.P exams are the following monday.  A thought

Buck will have to chime in here. I am not sure about the ability to
move the tourney at this point. Dana indicated that they have reserved
buder allready. I am still trying to find another venue, but that
looks unlikely.  One week wouldn't be terrible, but it does gaurantee
that someone will have prom (probably a few) it may mean one less
game, if we were to do it. I am really torn here. It seems like a
gooid idea, but it also may mean some ewxtra work at this point, and
it may really hurt some teams participation at the end.

SLUH is on the fence with JV. Last year we had 31 or 32 guys sign up
and pay dues, so we did two teams, but struggled to field a JV team
some weeks. This ended up being a waste of my committed players time
as well as the teams that were scheduled to play us. However, we will
not make the decision until we see how many of the 45 currently
interested actually end up playing.

As far as strength divisions, I am against it. I think within
regional divisions everyone will play stronger and weaker teams.
While there will be games that are lopsided, there will also be
competitive games for every team. I also believe that less
experienced players have more to gain by playing a mix of teams.

I for one hate the idea. We had a first year team win state three
years ago. No one would have put sluh in a top spot last year after
their previous season, and I could probably name a few other
"shockers" additionally, how do we then seed teams for the state
tourney, do a-flight wins count for more? I also don't agree that
there is. No point in playing the game. Check last years scores, we
are developing some real parity. That wouldn't occur if there was a
mediocre division.  I'm all for a jv division, as long as we can get 4
teams in it, but otherwise I think its unfair and unproductive.

Hello, all.

What are the odds that you'll field a JV this year?  It could still go
either way at FHC . . . and I'm wondering whether it will be worth
pushing for . . .

I have a female experience ultimate player looking for a team to play
on this Spring. She attends St. Joseph Academy but lives closer to
Webster Groves.
Let me know -Melissa (melissahogan14@...)

May second and third.

I'm looking at February 23rd.  I also should have mentioned that we
were shooting for a March 8th start date.

When will the coaches/captains meeting be? Approximate date is fine, I
just want to make sure I have my paperwork deadline set.

Get ready for another season of SLUJ.  We are still growing, adding
more events and teams.  I expect we will have two more teams this year
(that would make 16), we are having a hat draw tournament (SLUJ
Bucket-3/21), and hosting a tournament (SLUJ Invite-4/18-4/19).  As
soon as you read this, go put your contact info into the 09 contacts
database.  Not entering your info forces us to call you repeatedly and
worry whether you've got it together.  We have updated the "files"
folder to include all updated necessary files.  The UPA fee remains
$20 per player and covers all upa events for the year. The league fee
remains at $10 per player and includes a disc and the SLUJ Bucket
tourney.

Any questions? Post it here.  Need to call me?  Chris Martens 636-634-6476
