10/11/09 DP Redbird Soccer Booster Meeting October 20 at 6:30

DP Redbird Soccer Boosters: The next meeting is Tuesday October 20th at 6:30 in DPHS commons.
Attached are the minutes from the last meeting.

10/08/09 Tuesday, October 13 explained...

Tuesday, October 13th Plans
On Tuesday, October 13th, De Pere will host Manitowoc. As you may know, the WIAA requires that in order to host tournament soccer, we must have a “soccer only” site. Our coaches have noted in the past that some of the sites we’ve played tournament games on in other locations are not much different than our “soccer only” field behind the high school.

With that in mind, we’re going to play Manitowoc on Tuesday on the field behind school @ 4:00. We’ll bring in some extra bleachers, use our portable scoreboard to track time and score, and we’ll also be charging admission for the event, as required by the WIAA. ($4 adults and students/no passes.)

Note that any game that we are eligible to this year will be held on this site.
Thanks and we’ll see you at the games!

Jeff Byczek
Athletics Director
