The box season has come to an end with the conclusion of provincial playoffs in the last
weeks. Congratulations to the Mission Sasquatch teams that participated in the playdown
process and those that made it to the provincials. In particular, great job to the U-16 and
co-ed bantam C teams!
A delegation from Mission presented before the district of Mission to ask the council and
mayor for a covered facility. A special thanks to Carrie, Stu and Nicole for their hard work
and terrific presentation.
I did speak and give comment to a local reporter from a newspaper in Abbotsford who
contacted me regarding the turf field issues in Abbotsford and the potential impact that may
have on field lacrosse and the partnership between Abbotsford and Mission lacrosse
associations.
There were no LMMLC or PCFLL Meetings in July. There is nothing to report. The PCFLL
president did email to express they were in communication with the BCLA regarding the
delayed registration.
We wish everyone a relaxing summer before the start of field season in the fall.

Needs to talk to CD about goalie gear for this season
Needs to order jersey’s ( for the U5’s and for Female teams)
We need to make a decision regarding the use of “Mudawgs” on female uniforms. As the decision is time sensitive and we do not have enough people present at this meeting for a vote, we will need to send it out via email to the board.
As of now there are no plans from PCFLL to use the ipads for scorekeeping so RS will store them during the off season
h) Head Ref
Not in attendance. No report sent
President has spoken with Angie (the head coordinator for umps) regarding some of our needs and concerns and she said she is willing to personally come out and mentor umps here in Mission for us if we have them this season. She mentioned the idea of booking female games back to back on home game days so that it would make it more worth the time for umps to come out.
Right now we have 1 parent and 1 teen volunteer that would like to take the course.
