Calvert and Waldorf are still interested is scheduling games with SMU Futsal. We are waiting to the release of the initial schedule before approaching the other clubs to schedule dates. Ray will attempt to schedule these games on weekends when the St. Mary's College gym is not available. Waldorf plays at the Capital Clubhouse and Calvert plays at Huntington and Northern High School. Most teams have made payments. All teams with outstanding balances must pay by the January SMU Board Mtg. In order to comply with Futsal requirements, all players should complete their registration on the US Futsal website by January. All players must have medical release forms. Players who are already playing soccer with SMU can use their medical release forms for outdoor soccer.

We are suppose to receive cards from US Futsal. To my knowledge, no one has received cards. Cards are required for entering Futsal tournaments. Futsal Cup, similar to MD State Cup, will be held in Waldorf this winter. SMU Futsal will vary some of the US Futsal rules. We will use a running clock with two 25 minute halves. Teams have one timeout per half. Continued with a general discussion of Futsal and some of the difficulties teams are having using the website.  Light Fee Collection All teams that practiced under the lights during the fall season were required to submit their fees by tonight's meeting. The fees were $15 per night.
