Director’s report by Lisa. Baseball, softball, and t-ball registration is going on through next Tuesday. 62 people have registered with the largest group being t-ball. Three nights of basketball games were delayed due to the freezing weather last week.  Soccer games were postponed until February 8 because of the cold weather also.

I added one U6 team, one U8 team, and second U10 team for the girls due to the number of new players we had register for spring.  This is the largest number of girls we have ever had for U10 soccer.  I need one more estimate for the backflow preventer to present to the board.  I spoke with Zach Rudolph regarding wetlands mitigation, and he sent over the application for me to sign.  We need to have two retention ponds and a berm on the northeast corner to keep water off of the fields.
