Presidents Report
Team snap
There is an online tutorial that TeamSnap could host to show the features fo the service.
The club could purchase the service for all nine teams at a costs of $679.44. This service would have all clubs and players in the database and there would be more features that allow the club to coordinate (e.g., the option to create and event for all teams, and allow coaches to communicate with each other).
To purchase this service, the club would likely vote on it for next season.
Discover Sports Club
Brea went to Discovery Sports Club (DSC) meeting and their AGM is coming up on October 25. Rugby currently holds the president position which alternates between soccer and rugby each year.

Secretary’s Report
Each men’s team (Division 3, Division 4 and Masters) all received $50 fines from Vancouver Island Soccer Association (VISL) for not submitting a B.C.
