Ours are pretty structured and we meet about 8-10 times a year (mostly during winter ball). We check attendance and we can miss 2 meetings without being fined. If you are working a game, it is an excused absence. The President starts the meeting and then each commissioner (scholastic and rec ball) discuss things. The VP (who is also responsible for training) and the Secretary put in their $.02 worth. We ususally have a guest speaker (college coach, trainer, fitness guru, etc.), and twice a year we have vendors available before and after the meetings. I find the meetings very useful. We also have the mandatory clinics for fall (A & AA girls) and winter ball (A, AA, & AAA boys and AAA girls). This is the last year for fall ball because of a lawsuit -- next year boys and girls will all play in the winter.
