Steering Committee Mission Statement:
The Steering Committee shall promote the sport of Ultimate in the Chattanooga area and provide an unparalleled Ultimate experience for all members of the Chattanooga Flying Disc Club, continually striving toward a deeper fellowship among members and encouraging the pure enjoyment of Ultimate.



Items Discussed:

Introduction of New Members to the Steering Committee:

1.       There are about 5 months until winter league term is over, Steve is looking for help to develop the league.

2.       Overview of the (new) rules that will be in place for the winter Season.

a.       Callahan brick rule

b.      Callahan goal rule

c.       Equipment time-out.



Winter League:

1.      6 teams versus 8 teams.  It was voted on and approved to go with 6 teams with an option to go to 8 teams if there is enough interest to go to 8.

2.      We will follow Camp Jordan's rain policy during the winter league.  If it has been determined not suitable  play (by the League Coordinator), then games will be postponed to a later date. Pickup games can be  moved to the Rossville fields.

3.      New scoring, the main difference is the elimination of the spirit rating.  Instead a spirit award will be given to the best team/player at the end of the season.

4.      Amy would like to play a Mid Season hat tournament,

5.      Money for the league is more this year to meet insurance needs.

6.      Looking for more team captains.  We have 4 at this time.

7.      Looking for more team sponsors. We have none at this time.

8.      Captains meeting will be at 2:20 p.m. before game starts.  We need to push getting the games to start on time.  Keith suggested blowing a horn.

9.      The question of pickup players came up, there was a lot of discussion


Social Director:
  1. David threw out some ideas on how to make the season more interesting.  Listed below are a few of his ideas:

    2. a. Hat tourney
    b. Christmas Party
    c. New Years Party
    d. Lookout Valley Parade
    e. Paint ball game.
    f. League 
    g. Camping trip (Coed)
    h. Scavenger Hunt
    i. Movie nights
    j. Darts
2.      The end of the season party will take place mid to late February depending on how many games are postponed, mid season tournament, etc.  The budget for the party will be around $500.00.  This budget also depends on the response and how much money is available.

3.    David asked for suggestions on the opening season party.


Field Director:

  1. Keith asked about the cones for the fields.  Carl has cones and has done an excellent job of bring the cones to pickup and league games and Keith wishes to continue to get Carl’s help.  Keith would also like some extra cones (enough for a field) to be given to someone to help out when Carl or Keith cannot make to pickup.
  2. Same with the water coolers.
  3. Secure winter pickup fields.  Because of the football league being played at the Patton Parkway fields there will be a gap in the  pickup fields.  Keith and Steve will go to Camp Jordan to talk about the possibility of using there fields for pickup.
