Fall Season Review: All in all it was a good season with not really any issues until it was cut short by Haverhill Board of Health. 6U really got the short end of the stick with only 2 practices and 2 games. 9U was a good season it was noted for next year to realign age groups differently as there was a big gap between 7s and 9 year olds. 12U season was very competitive, teams were engaged and games were close overall. Successful first year with the different age groups, would definitely look to run a Fall season again next year.

6U Compensation? It was discussed that the Board needs to do something for those that played in the 6U division. Ideas were tossed around and we came up with crediting any 6U players a $50 credit for next year. Motion to accept made by Randel, Seconded by 
Andy. All in favor. Passed unanimously.
