Travel Report:  Glenn Dolata reported the following:

 

·          The Middle School fields are in rough condition and e-mails have been sent out regarding same.  No one should be calling the Board of Education regarding field conditions.  Extensive ground repairs were made before the season to improve field conditions and additional work will be performed after the completion of travel and house use.  The nets will be taken down at the close of the house and travel season to minimize further damage to the fields and equipment.

·          A big expense has been spent on coaches shirts and it is important to see the coaching staff wear such clothing to their games to support their Club.
