Juniata Valley Football League

League Meeting Minutes, 19 September 2002 at 8:30pm, Terrace Community Building

OLD ISSUES :

Flag Football coaches expressed concern for the teams that have the same colored flags as shirts,

players are grabbing shirt tails and all. Flags may be swapped amongst the other teams to avoid this.

Referees for the 2002 season has become a major issue. Belltown and Stone Valley have no League

refs for their home games and the Little Mingoes use their own refs. The 2002 playoffs and for the 2003 season,

League refs will be present at all games. The schedule will be finalized by Daren Curry, once the schedule is

complete, and you need to change a game, you will have to make other arrangements for refs. This schedule

may be ready for the next meeting.

On 18 Sept., the Midget Game between Little Mingoes at Belltown, seen a player from each team

be ejected from the game for alleged physical altercation. The refs for the game were parents of the Belltown

organization. By word of both head coaches, there was absolutely no punches thrown, just some shoving

around after the whistle, no need for the ejection. The League was approached for the sanction of a game where

ejected, means a game suspension, be removed from this incident because of the parent referee situation.

The League brought to a vote, without a vote permitted by the 2 involved head coaches, to see whether the

players will be eligible for next game. The result of the vote was 13 to 1 in favor the players will be eligible for

the next game.

A good idea was mentioned for consideration for the 2003 season, place a weight limit on the 10

year olds, to be eligible for midgets for the players 10 yr old season. Example : Any player under the weight of

65 lbs. That is not ready for the midget level, may play an additional year at Pee-Wee.
