Umpire Escrow Refunds have been mailed/distributed

All Metro Coaches - 2009 teams

Your umpire escrow deposits (refunds) for the 2009 season have been mailed, or were given to team representatives at the Sept. 30 meeting. If your team was fined for a cancelled game, or two, you will receive a partial refund. In a few cases teams will not receive any refund due to multiple cancellations. Those should not be a surprise to the few teams involved in multiple cancelled games.

Checks were endorsed to the person, or organization that submitted payment and if mailed those checks were mailed to the person, or organization's address that was on the check used for payment of 2009 league fees.

This concludes the financial transactions for the 2009 season.
Any questions can be directed to the division coordinators - 10U - Dennis Ferris, 12U - Jim Stoyle, 16U & 18U - Bruce Pfalzer

Thanks for a great season, hope to see everyone at our January (1st Wednesday) 2010 meeting.

Insurance updates will be forthcoming in November once team insurance rates for 2010 have been established by the national organizations

Sept. 30 Metro Meeting Mania

Our Sept. 30 Meeting at the University Ramada Inn was a great success with over 75 softball coaches in attendance. Topics of discussion included a roll call vote to increase the Out of Area Players (OAP's) in each age division, the formation of a committee to study possible team boundary expansion, exhibition teams' playoffs and miscellaneous other ideas.

 

Umpire escrow refund checks were distributed to some of the teams in attendance. The remaining checks will be mailed this week to the organizations that submitted those deposits. Make sure your treasurers check their mailbox over the next week. For questions regarding these refunds, please contact us.

 

2010 Team Insurance requirements were distributed via a copy of the 2009 policy showing the amount and types of coverages required for teams to play in the Metro Girls Softball League next season. Insurance will be purchased in December, 2009 to cover teams for all of 2010. Teams will not be permitted to participate in 2010 without that coverage.
