Recreation District
Review
Danny Sharpe gave a
history of the formation of NCYSA Recreation Districts. Mr. Sharpe explained
how the district map was drawn and the purpose and goals of Recreation
Districts. Mr. Sharpe explained that each District set up a district council
made up of presidents from each association in the district for the purpose
working together.
Tim Nash gave an update on the current
state of Districts. Mr. Nash explained that NCYSA’s focus is now on providing
NCYSA services to the clubs in a district. For more information on District
Services, contact Tim Nash at 336-856-0063, or tim@ncsoccer.org
Suggestion was made by RMYSA that
district meetings be set up between the fall and spring season. Mike Baptiste
of MYSA suggested that associations come up with lists of things with which
they need help in preparation for District meetings.
Suggestion was made that a District
meeting be held at the Southern Soccer Show.

Creating a State Cup
bracket for 8v8 at U13 and above
Discussion was held
on the possibility of creating an 8v8 bracket (in addition to an 11v11 bracket)
at the Recreation State Cup for age groups U13 and above, the reason being that
many associations and teams don’t have enough players to enter the State Cup at
the ages that play 11v11.
Mr. Tutterrow asked that each
representative take the proposal back to their association presidents for input
and the idea will be discussed at the next council meeting.
3.
Creating a State Cup
Bracket for U8
Discussion was held
on the possibility of creating a bracket for U8 at the State Cup. Suggestion
was made that Regionalized District Jamborees be held that would include U8s.
Mike Rottjakob from ABYSA explained how District 5 holds a Recreation Festival
that averages 50 teams. It is held on one day. Teams play 3 shortened games so
as not to exceed US Youth Soccer recommended playing limits. It includes a
skills competition and clinics during the day.
Mr. Tutterrow
suggested that representatives take the idea back to their club presidents for
input and it would be discussed again at the next Rec Council meeting.
