Andover YMCA Community Center Advisory Commission September 9, 2012 © Page 2 MN Premier Volleyball Club Presentation NIN Premier is a J.O. Volleyball Club who has rented field house space at the facility since 2005. The club was originally under the name of Anoka Jr.'s Volleyball. Most youth participating in this program are kids that will be going on to play at the college level. In 2011 it was estimated that 70% of their participants were from Andover. MN Premier presented the commission with a handout providing more information about their organization as well as rental fees paid to the community center since 2005. MN Premier would like to sign a multi -year contract with the Andover Community Center, locking in an hourly field house rental rate. The commission requested that Erick bring a document to the next advisory commission meeting indicating the terms and fixed rate agreed upon by both parties. Document should also indicate additional benefits that MN Premier would bring to the community center above and beyond just field house rental. ACC Staff Update Reviewed the staff status report.
