Team Update Good News - Not So Good News

Good Evening!

I will send this out in an email tonight or in the morning as well.

I’ve got good news and not as good news!

We had the coordinators meeting this evening and I have all the juicy details.

First let’s get the money out of the way.

We will be signing up as a team so we will pay the “team fee”. This means each person will get around $20 off the price of the league, I still need to figure out the math. Most of the teams divide the cost of the goalie into the players and they do not charge the goalie. With this session I did not know this so I won’t “mandate” this for this session. If 75% of you respond that you do want the goalie fee split amongst all of the players then I will do this, I will not divulge who is for and who is against this. Going forward for the next sessions we will do like the other teams and have our goalie play for free, this is only fair since all the teams do it and the goalie has a much larger investment then we do.

Jersey update….

Now for the not so good news, I will speak with the Jersey folks in the morning to get some clarification;

We will now play our first game on April 18th, instead of April 26th, this is a Friday night and we will play in Plano. I would like to have the uniforms for the first game.

I have sent an email to the jersey guy and asked for a quote on shipping the jerseys 3 day UPS, he was going to ship Canadian Post but I paid out of my pocket to upgrade to 5 day UPS. There also maybe some confusion in the exchange rate for the money, if so I’ll eat that as it will only be $25 or so. What I want to do is spread the extra cost of shipping 3 day instead of 5 day amongst the team. So for example if it cost an extra $180 to get everything 3 day shipping then we’d need each player to pay me $10. So if it is less than $10 per player to expedite the jerseys I’ll make a “corporate” decision to pay the extra and you guys can bring me the difference on Saturday.

The good thing is with the extra savings signing up as a team you will net less money spent even if we need to pay extra to get our jerseys quicker!

My only fear is one of the captains mentioned it took his jerseys 4-6 weeks to get to him because of customs, I’ve been told by the jersey company that we will not have this issue but I do want to confirm this in the morning.
