We need an adult to be present at the 9/10 year team practices because if there are children not listening to
the coach, they can ask the children to behave. If no-one volunteers to be on the side- line at practices, we
will have to do a roster system. Please let me know if you can help. Rebecca Meek will be the manager of
the team at the games.
