Club Business
Real Tickets: Scott Reynolds and Stephanie Ebner
Real suggested that Murray Max have a Real ambassador to coordinate the club’s season tickets to make sure that they are always being used. They also asked what they could do as an organization to help make our season ticket holding experience better. Some suggestions were team tunnel, ball girl/boy, pre game activities, having a Murray Max night.
March 12 is a free night, 14th pick up tickets. They will have electronic tickets as well so that they can email tickets directly to the coach of the team going to each particular game. Other ticketing they are working with: flash seats using a credit card.
We have 20 season tickets. Joe asked about having a player or Leo at try-outs or camps. Scott also suggested having Murray Max come to a practice and allowing coaches to talk with RSL coaching staff.
Any other needs, ideas, wish list… email him at sreynolds@realsaltlake.com

Economic Impact of Soccer on Families- Ned Searle
Ned represented suggestions and concerns that many parents and families have had regarding the expense of playing soccer. The concerns and ideas expressed are listed:
• Compensation for coaches
• For the time being- find ways to cut back on some of the club expenses
• Real Tix- do we need them right now?
• Teams should keep the monies they earn through fundraising
Overall, we want to see the kids be able to continue to play soccer- we need to make in financially possible for them to do so.
Angela motioned to close the meeting. Ronda 2nd it, board unanimous.
