Minutes—Athletic Directors Meeting
1. Introductions were
made
2. Discuss future
meetings in relation to Principals meetings.
The
Athletic Directors recommend to the Principals that the 2007-08 calendar
be adjusted to allow for the Athletic Directors to meet first and then make
their recommendations to the Principals at a later meeting. This will mean switching the dates of the
December and February meetings for both groups.
Also the times for the Athletic Directors meetings in December and
February will be moved to
3. Discuss a
supervision policy for the conference.
It
was discussed and recommended that schools send an administrator or
representative to all varsity level contests.
Whoever the representative is should introduce themselves to the host
school administration when they arrive.
It was felt this would help in the game management for both the host and
the visiting school.
4. Discuss trademarks
for SVC schools.
The
Athletic Directors discussed the practice of school getting a trademark for
their logo. Many schools’ products are being
sold at other retail stores that can purchase and sell below what local schools
or booster’s clubs can sell for. St.
Joseph-Ogden has an agreement that requires stores to pay them to sell St.
Joseph-Ogden items.
5. Review Golf Tournament
The
information is online for the tourney that will be held on Thursday September
27th at Brookhill Golf Course in
6. Review Cross
Country Meet
The
SVC will not host an official Cross County meet this year, due to only 4
schools offering the sport (St. Joseph-Ogden, PBL, Clifton Central and St.
Thomas More), the by-laws require 5 schools.
A meet between those 4 schools will still be held that day (October 16th),
but there will not be a SVC champion.
The meet will be held at
7. Discuss Soccer
Coop between Momence and Grant Park.
Momence
needs the SVC approval to enter into a COOP agreement with Grant Park in girl’s
soccer for the 2007-08 school year. A
survey/vote will be sent to the Principals thru email due to the need to have
the approval done and to the IHSA in time.
8. Discuss Wrestling Coop between Tri Point and
Tri
Point and
9. Site(s) for SVC
Track Meet—possible splitting into two meets
A
discussion was held on the 2008 SVC track meet.
It was decided not to change the date or format for the current school
year due to meets already contracted by schools. The possibility of splitting the meet into
two meets—the girls meet a week earlier will be reviewed at a future
meeting. The site for the combined meet
will be set at a future meeting.
10a. Discuss possible change in rotation of football games
in 08 & 09.
A
discussion was held on changing the rotation of football games. The current 2008 and 2009 schedules mirror
the current schedules—teams play each other the same week in future years as
they have the last two years. Some of
the reason for this is consistency in scheduling and the last week is a
traditional rival game week.
Some
of the reason for a change is to avoid the same teams each year for senior
nights and homecoming. One possible way
to change this was to move week 8 games to week 3 and then move all the other
weeks forward. This would keep week 9
intact, but change the other dates.
Drawbacks are local scheduling and officials.
10b. Review future football schedules
The
2008 and 2009 football schedules were reviewed.
Officials were hired for all 9 weeks.
2008 and 2009 schedules are
online with updated official assignments.
These are subject to change.
11. Review Volleyball
Tourney—sites, seeding, times…
The
2007 SVC Volleyball Tourney was discussed.
Format changes were made (see updated brackets).
The sites for the tourney will be Gilman and Paxton. The tourney will be seeded based on final
regular season record. Seeds/pairings
will be final on Friday October 12th.
10. Discuss Girl’s
and Boy’s Basketball Tournaments
Similar
changes in the basketball tournaments were made as in volleyball (see brackets).

11. Review fall and
winter schedules for 2007-08.
Volleyball schedules were reviewed. Winter schedules will be reviewed at the
October 17th meeting.
12. 2008-09 Girl’s
Basketball Tournament
A
discussion was held about the possible move of the Girl’s Basketball tourney
back a week to allow for one more week of SVC play. This will be reviewed and discussed at the
October 17th meeting. Some
officials have been hired for next year in the current week, so officials will
have to be switched.
13. The meeting
