- Several missing components of the schedule were worked out, but there are several games that still need to be scheduled and many games that are scheduled, but do not have venues or time information. This information needs to be finalized as soon as possible, as there is not much time left in the season and teams need to make travel arrangements as early as possible to cut travel costs.
- The California Storm have been invited to the Soccer Festival in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The Festival is held July 21st, 23rd, 25 th . It is a high level, publicized event that will include the U.S. U19 National Team and the Mexican, Canadian and Australian National Teams as well as several other high level teams. Jerry Zanelli proposes that the league create an All-Star team to send to the Festival in place of the Storm. Each team would send 1 player (or 2 if needed) to the Festival. The team would bare the cost of travel and the $50 per day per player for food and housing. Teams are asked to notify Jerry Zanelli or Colette Hanlon by Friday, June 18 th if their team can participate.
- Joe Ferrara and Colette Hanlon will come-up with a proposal on how to organize a ãTeam of the Weekä that will help generate publicity for the league.
- In order to be considered for the 2004 Women's Premier Soccer League Championship Tournament, which is to be held July 31 ST ö August 1 st at Folsom High School Stadium in Folsom, California, the remaining balance for your team must be paid in full.
