Membership:  The paid level will be called the "Coaches Club."

Traveling team committee:  The tryouts went smoothly; the number of those trying out at the 6th grade level was up slightly.   All fee money was turned in to Mike Coenen.  The tournaments are set for all teams and our tournament information is on our website as well as Wishoops.  Practice for 3rd and 4th grades began the week of October 11th.  Email addresses of all team members still need to be collected and given to Brian.  Discussion held regarding an equipment manager for all of the traveling teams. This person would handle and coordinate all the equipment and maintain an accurate inventory of everything as well and keep the inventory up to date.  All teams should have a medical kit to take to each practice and tournament.  A website for all traveling team coaches is being researched with access allowed with a username and password.  This would allow communication between coaches to remain just that, between coaches.  The website will hopefully be decided on by the November meeting.

KAUKAUNA BOYS HOOPS CLUB

June 9, 2010

Present:  C. Miller, S. Fullerton, R. Radlinger, M. Coenen, T. Belling, S. Ferris, R. Giordana, D. Stumpf, B. Roebke, M. Schalow and K. VandeWettering.

Meeting called to order at 7:07 PM

The minutes from the May meeting were approved with one correction; Kevin Evers was in attendance at the May meeting.

Treasurer's report:  Mike Co. presented the current financial numbers.

Concessions:  There is enough money in the account to get us through the summer.

Traveling Team Committee:   A few changes were made when this committee met.  3rd and 4th grade format will remain the same, teams will be divided equally and they will continue to practice together. 5th and 6th grade will each play in 5 tournaments up to the Kaukauna tournament and a combination from the two teams (each grade) will play in the state tournament. 7 and 8 will remain the same.  The thought is to keep the progression of fundamentals throughout all grades.

Calendar of Events:

  • Wisconsin Yearbook Tournament:  There are 69 teams committed and 64 of those have paid their entrance fee, with 70 teams being the maximum number allowed.  The schedule for this will hopefully be done soon so that the concession help can be completed.  Games will be play at KHS Friday, Saturday and Sunday and at Riverview Saturday and Sunday.

Scholarships: Eight seniors qualified for the Hoops Club scholarships.

Display Case:  This is moving forward!!!  Coach Schalow met with the builder the first of June and he knows what we want. Cory Baumgartner will have the final approval on the plans draw up.  The first of August is the scheduled completion date!!!

Coaching Staff:  6 or 7 people have applied, with interviews the week of June 14th.  Hopefully there will be news by the end of that week or the next meeting July 8th.

Open Forum:  Brian stated that the basketball players represented the class very well at graduation.   The highlight video was lengthy but worth it!!!

Meeting adjourned at 7:57 PM.

Treasurer's report:  Mike C. presented the current financial numbers.

Concessions:  Interest has been shown from a few incoming freshmen parents willing to help out with concessions for the 2010/2011 season.

Traveling Team Committee:  A few outstanding equipment items still need to be collected.  The banquet went well and not many coaches' evaluations were returned.  Is this a good sign that there are good coaches in place? The way that teams are now divided up needs to be re-evaluated.  There is also a concern with the numbers in the younger classes.  This committee will meet in the near future to see if anything else needs to be tweaked before tryouts in the fall.  The date for future traveling team banquets has been moved to the Sunday after the boys state tournament.

Calendar:

  • High school banquet:  Banquet was well attended and went very well.
  • July 16-18 tournament:  Some registrations have already been received.

Scholarships:  8 seniors qualified for scholarships of $300.00 each.

Display case:  Design ideas are still being researched.  We are just happy that we have a location!!

2010/2011 coaching staff:  Jim Woelfel, Kevin Evers and Ryan Bowers begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlighting have resigned, resulting in 2 paid and one volunteer position that need to be filled.

Open Forum

1.      Shooting gun update:  Old gun is fixed and working well and it wasn't much to fix which is good!!  The new gun has been ordered as well.

KAUKAUNA BOYS HOOPS CLUB

April 7th, 2010

Present:  R Giordana, A Fullerton, M Radlinger, B Roebke, C Deering, D Stumpf, M Schalow, and J & K VandeWettering.

Meeting was called to order at 7:05 PM

The minutes from the March 4th meeting were approved.

Treasurer's report:  Brian presented the report in Mike C's absence.

Concessions report:  Concessions had a good year overall.  There will be concessions at the All-Star game.

Traveling Team Committee:  Better representation is really needed at the Hoops Club meetings from this committee.  As a result of no representation, we are running into problems with communication between the Hoops Club and this committee.  It is hoped that someone from this comm. will step up and take a leadership role due to Matt McCabe's job transfer.  A discussion was held about moving the Traveling Team banquet to another day, other than having it prior to the start of the All-Star game.  The Sunday after the boys' state tournament was decided as a date for this banquet.

Calendar of Events:

1.     Spring Tournament:   March 14th and went very well.

2.     High school banquet: This was April 18th at the Mariner.

3.     Traveling Team Banquet:  April 18th, pizzas were again provided by the Hoops Club.

Display case:  We have a builder, now we just need a design for the case.  The start of the 2010/2011 school year is the projected completion date. 

Board Applications:  These were due as of today's meeting 4/4/2010!!

Open Forum

  • Coach Schalow handed out Open Gym schedules through the end of the school year.  People need to be flexible with this due to spring sports and the weather.

  • Shooting gun needs to be fixed or replaced.  Discussion was held and a motion was made to see if first gun can be repaired and if so to keep, and to purchase a second gun as well.  Motion passed.
