REPORT OF OFFICERS

EXECUTIVE VP: ROBERT LINEBECK

 We held a strategic planning meeting for the future of NCYSA to establish long-range goals and to form the committees to help us reach them. Thanks to Caleb Miles for hosting it in Pinehurst, NC.

 

 

                                                                              

VP TOURNAMENT & TRAVEL: ANDRE BERGER

Report:

This report will cover the calendar year 2005. Our sincere thanks go to the Presidents and volunteers of the clubs/associations that stepped forward to provide hosting facilities for the various state cups. It is clearly way outside the capability of the state office to man the seven specific weekends that are currently required to run our state tournaments, let alone the lack of a state soccer facility. Therefore, as a state, we are dependent on you, our membership, to provide the valuable resources and facilities that enable NCYSA to organize the needed tournaments.

 

Special thanks go to:

Recreation Cup - fall:          Greater Cleveland County Soccer Association (preliminary round and finals)

 

Challenge Cup - Fall:     Wilson Youth Soccer Association (preliminary round)

Greensboro Youth Soccer Association (finals weekend)                                             - Spring: Lake Norman Soccer Club, Burlington Soccer Club,
         Piney Green Soccer Club & Jacksonville Area Soccer
         Association (combined)

   Greensboro Youth Soccer Association (finals
               weekend)

 

U-11 Festival – spring: Capital Area Soccer League

 

Presidents Cup - fall:           Lake Norman Soccer Club (preliminary round)

                                    Fayetteville Soccer Club (preliminary round)     

Greensboro Youth Soccer Association (finals weekend)

 

Kepner Cup - Spring: Greensboro Youth Soccer Association & Lake Norman
                                    Soccer Club (preliminary round)

Asheville Buncombe Youth Soccer Association & Capital Area Soccer League (preliminary round)

Greensboro Youth Soccer Association (finals weekend)

 

USYS State Cup - fall: FC Carolina Alliance (preliminary round)

  Asheville Buncombe Youth Soccer Association
  (preliminary round)

  Greensboro (finals weekend)

 

- Spring: Fayetteville Soccer Club (preliminary round)

FC Carolina Alliance & Charlotte Soccer Club
   (preliminary round)

 Greensboro Youth Soccer Association (finals weekend)

It is also noteworthy to recognize that NCYSA teams were issued 976 Permission to Travel forms and that NCYSA Clubs/Associations organized 42 tournaments during the year. All of the above requires the dedication, support and commitment of our excellent state office staff and the hundreds of local volunteers great big thank you!!                                             

 

2005 was the year in which we adjusted our state cup fees. The results of the increased application fees that were voted on at last year’s AGM produced the following financial results:

Recreation Cup: Fall $4747

 

Challenge: Spring $13,965

                  Fall $1142

 

Festival: Spring -$1068

 

Kepner: Spring $5,281

President: Fall $2960

 

USYS Spring -$8,627

Fall -$1826

 

Another first in 2005 was the inaugural Festival in late April at SAS stadium. The U-11 teams that participated were treated to a very special day, not only of hard fought games, but also by being honored by selected ACC soccer players and a tailored program that filled that day. We look forward to an even better event in 2006 when the new U-11’s will join the ‘old’ U-12’s. 

 

Thanks to the teams and clubs that represented NCYSA so well in the Regional Premier League East sub-region. This year four boys and two girls’ teams were invited to participate in the spring U-14 age group (2005), and twenty-three teams were invited to participate in the U-15 to U-18 age groups (2005), boys and girls. Outright league champions were OCSA Coastal Crew (U-14) girls in 2005, Carolina Select in the U-15 boys age group, CASL Spartan Elite (U-18), CASL Spartan Elite (U-16) and OCSA Coastal Crew (U-15) girls. The U-15 to 18 teams thus earned the right to a Regional Premier League slot in the 2006 Southern Regionals. Other NCYSA teams may also be invited to participate, dependent on the age group champion winning their state cup.

 

As a direct result of the Executive Board weekend last July, changes have been made to the state cup events. Daily start time has been moved back to around 9:00 a.m., efforts are underway to standardize the rules across all events, and application deadlines have been moved up to permit better planning of these key tournaments. We hope that these meet with the general approval of our membership.

VP CLASSIC: CALEB MILES

Classic recap given in packets.

Classic soccer is growing, evolving, and has a strong connection with its constituents and is well manned turning out a great product. Some numbers: currently we have 10617 classic players playing on 683 teams, which is a good parity between Classic and Challenge numbers. This is a 6.4% increase over last year.

We have a few changes in Classic soccer 1.The scheduling meetings, which are a great success thanks to the organization of Debbie Morton our Classic Staff director.  2. The Classic Handbook which Debbie and Kim Zimbal have worked to make user friendly. 3. The promotion/relegation committee being formed has put it in the hands of the people who are involved. They are doing a great job making it fair for everyone. Classic soccer is alive and well and we will continue to try to make it better in the future.

 

VP CHALLENGE: KEITH PRICE

Challenge recap given in packets.

I took over as Challenge Vice President 16 months ago.

Some numbers: currently we have 80 associations approved for challenge level soccer. We have 838 teams 10667 kids playing.

My goals are to have more participation in council meetings. Some history 2003 we held 2 Challenge council meetings average attendance was 13 people representing 13.5 clubs which is 17% of our approved membership. 2004 we held 3 Challenge Council meetings average attendance 20 people representing 18.3 clubs, which is 23% of membership. 2005 we held 3 Challenge Council meetings average attendance 31 people representing 30.3 clubs, which is 38% of membership. With this being said I would like for this participation to continue to increase because this is you opportunity to be heard.

I would like to offer many thanks to Kim Zimbal for doing a great job for Challenge soccer and wish her luck in her new endeavors.

 

TREASURER: BILL POLK

REPORT LATER IN MEETING

 

REFEREE REPORT: PAUL JAMES

We currently have app. 3500 referees registered with the state.

The Arbiter is our new system for assigning referees. It is up and running and is available to all assignors throughout the state. We feel that it will help us better communicate and have better access to referees to make the referee program improve throughout the state.

Congratulations to Sandra Serrfini for being appointed to the FIFA list of international referees for women.
