Minnesota Tag Association
Monthly Meeting Minutes
July 10, 2007

Camp Snoopy Conference Room

Board Members Present: Bozo, Ronald McDonald, Blinky, Buttons, Harpo, Jingles, Spanky, Elli, Pogo


Associations Represented: All

Officer Reports
President: Ronald McDonald

· Thanked everyone for coming.

Treasurer/Administration: Jingles

· Only $551,000 in the bank. We will need to raise registration fees and add a legal fee.

· Buttons requested $50 reimburesment for make up. Spanky agreed

· Remind all Districts to complete their registration. WE need our monies ASAP!!


Registration: Blinky

· Shut up Jingles!

· There is a change in the competitive levels this year. Instead of TAG levels based on a July 1 to June 30 calendar year, this year its June 1st to May 31st. Bozo’s boys just could not compete against those 7 Dwarf brothers whose birthdays were in July. Now he can be the star! Go jr Bozo!

· All parents will be required to review with their kids and sign the waiver that states “Only ½ of 1% of all players ever make it to the big leagues”. Remember we can’t have our players dreaming of the big leagues and striving to be the best they can.

· Team selection will be based on the Ennie, Meanie, Miny Mo meathod within age groups. All teams are "A" teams

· Move ups are not allowed you must play within your age level. One is not better than another.


Equipment-Spanky

· All players and coaches must wear helmets, elbow and knee pads for all practices and games of TAG. No bumps and scrapes on our little ones knees and elbows.

· All players must have the Blaze orange “STOP” patch securely fastened to the front of their shirts and the back of their shorts. The chest and buttocks area are off limits for tagging. Pogo's boy has been accused of trying to cop a feel or two during co-ed games. We cannot afford a sexual misconduct lawsuit! Added legal fee!


Player Development- Buttons

· 4 to 1 Practice to game ratio

· You cannot play more than 2 games of TAG in a day and no more than 35 in a season.


TEP( TAG Educational Program) -Harpo

· New this year. TEP points will be awarded to teams for good sportsmanship when after a game of TAG they all hold hands and sing “Ring around the rosie”


Supervisor of Officials-Pogo

· All games of TAG must be supervised and refereed by a TAG certified referee that looks younger than 12 or older than 70.


New TAG Business-Elli

· Beanie McMean has opened up a new private TAG facility in Edina. He is starting up a Choice TOT TAG program. This program boasts 70+ hours of training and 20+ games of TAG.

· Elli on the record “ Give me 12 kids, a lemonade stand and a park and I will develop players better than Beanie McMean”

· The rest of the clowns…… “ we are doomed”, “what are parents thinking”, “this changes the game of TAG forever”, “ there just TOTS!” “ They’ll never make it to the big leagues”

Well the post may get thrown out, but I loved it.

Especially the reference (I think) to me.

There is a bit of truth in just about everything written or spoken.

Bored Member, would you know the cost of MCmeans program,I'm currious because I lost my job due to addiction to this forum,I have posted over 600 times this year,And I am afraid I can't afford it,so I will also be looking for some alternative devlopment programs,
I know my boy will never make it to the big leagues,But I'm just looking for something he can waist his time at, ,Do you forsee any AAA Tag leagues?I believe that would be a bad Idea kids should play other sports like kick ball,or maybe I should mind my own business

While originally curious to find out which one would "reference" tyou Mr. Elliot, its seems much more fun to apply them all!

I think "boardmember" is an alias of another fine poster who has been treading these waters. Don't you think breakout?

I'm a first time poster, long time reader. I've been ready to jump into many different diccusions but in the end another staunch opinion was not needed. Instead, I decided to come up with some sarcasm and humor around some of the more entertaining topics here. I was hoping for the readers to enjoy the post but to also take a step back and realize just how foolish we all can be sometimes..... Especially over a topic like hockey!

Maybe you could earn some extra money by "Moderating" this site. There is always a need for referee! Are you qualified? Not sure if it pays enough to cover McMeans fees. AAA TAG are you kidding? All teams are A level only. No superstars in that league!

Welcome to you and your lemonade stand!

Pretty funny can't believe that's a 1st post
But while I'm here... why are girls playing in the boy's league anyway? it's diluting the competition...bunch of clowns.

[Pucknutz69]

MTA has given me the green light for my "Kick the can league". This is of course supported by them as long as they get there fees. This was supported due to the fact I went to clown school with Ronnie Mc, Bozo and Harpo. Beanie McMeanie tried this but was shot down for not wanting to ride in the Clown car to meetings.

The league is for the kids that don't want to be touched, they just want to have fun.
