Board voted on Lead Coaches after the general meeting.  Those coaches are noted above.  Gym Scheduler for this year is Keith Jensen. 

New Business: Jim Doell and Dave Shaw – PHS varsity coaches presented their assistants and also introduced the new Jr. Raider Basketball Program and how PYO will coordinate its efforts with this new system.  4 key goals of our work together:

1. Eliminate the politics of coach and team selection.  This will be done by having the varsity coaches sit in on the PYO Board coach selections and eventually (if approved with by law changes) become at large board members for issues during their season.  The varsity coaches and staff will lead the team split and selection process with the PYO coaches based on the interaction with players during the Jr. Raider season.  Boys will use even split teams for 3-5 and A/B/C for 6-8, Girls will use even split for all grades.
2. Improve Skills Development – Overall objective of the Jr. Raider Program.
3. Gym Space – Coordinate with the Jr. Raider Program, Share gyms and utilize the high school for more of the program.
4. Coach Training and Consistent Approach – More involvement by the PYO coaches in the Jr. Raider Program and also multiple session training camps by the PHS coaching staff for coaches and ongoing feedback during the season.

Motion by Jay R. and 2^nd by Paul F. to Adjourn  Motion carried.
