The W.C.Y.A.A. met on Monday, October 16th, at the W.C.Y.A.A. offices in Lucama. Those in attendance were as follows: Gay Varnell (LW), Tim Nichol (EC), and Charlotte Taylor (Saratoga). Athletic Director Mickey Davis presided over the meeting. New Hope, Lucama, and Rock Ridge were not represented.

 

Topics discussed were as follows:

 

2006-2007 Basketball   

  1. Signup information due now for each community. Mickey has received info for Elm City, Lucama, and Rock Ridge.
  2. Six signups are required by each community  
  3. Last signup date is November 18th.
  4. All paperwork including individual signup forms, roster sheets, and fees are due December 1st between the hours of 8:30am and 5:00pm at the W.C.Y.A.A. offices.  
  5. Community colors were discussed at length. Each community needs to stay within their color scheme in case a community wishes to purchase only tee-shirts and not reversible jerseys. If a community has two teams in the same age division and does not purchase the reversible jerseys, they can use the small pullovers that fit directly over their team tee-shirts.     
  6. Community colors: Saratoga/Navy  Rock Ridge/Royal    Elm City/Gold    Lucama/Red    New Hope/Charlotte Bobcats colors   Lee Woodard/Black
  7. No numbers above “5” can used for basketball jerseys. An example is that “55” can be used but not “56”. Please notify your teams/coaches/screen-printers of this rule. “0” or “00” maybe used but not on the same team. 
  8. Also discussed was an admission fee of $1.00 for all adults and 50 cents for all school age children (not players). These monies would stay in the community to help off set the cost of paying for the use of the gymnasiums. Mickey told each community to talk with their people and get back with him on Monday, October 23, by 5:00pm.
  9. Mickey explained the cost of the gymnasiums to each representative. If a school has a after school care program, the W.C.Y.A.A. community should have coaches their before 6:00 so the janitor does not have to re-open the gymnasium at 6:30. This $20.00 savings per day will make a big difference over the season. Schools with after school programs are Lucama, Rock Ridge, Lee Woodard (set to open in either October or November), Gardner’s, and Elm City. The Elm city Middle School gymnasium used by the New Hope Sports Commission does not have an after school program but does have basketball practices and games for the boys and girls that can be worked around.
  10. Basketball practices may start on Friday, December 1 at each community but not before due to insurance rules.        
  11. It was also suggested that each community sell sponsorships for their teams to help offset the cost of the gymnasiums. Putting sponsor names on a banner on the school wall would be great way to raise a few extra funds and also show your support for a basketball sponsor.
