2. The AD from Menlo initiated a discussion about joining a league. Maria Flaherty from M-A stated that she had been collecting LAX bylaws from San Diego and schools in the East. She had spoken to Gordie Young the head of the PAL about joining the PAL. Mr. Young wanted 4 or 5 schools. With Menlo, M-A, Woodside all fielding boys and girls teams Leland said they would join the boys and if Gunn and Castilleja would join the girls that would give 5. The rest of the schools are going to play as independents this year since they are geographically further apart.

6. Some of the coach's were worried boys would be playing for club teams rather than their H.S. team. John Turner said the he did not know about other clubs but the Tomahawks club wants to be a feeder team for the H.S.'s. Maria Flaherty said that the Tomahawks club had changed their bylaws so if your H.S. has a team you can not play for the Tomahawks club. The Tomahawks club wants the H.S. teams to succeed and not draw boys from H.S. programs.
