Annual Meeting President’s Year End Review
November 7, 2004
Soccer – Playing the Game
 The spring and fall seasons averaged 533 players and 71 volunteers.
 Introduced great looking new uniforms for all travel teams to replace out
manufacture old uniforms.
Administration
 Scoped, selected and started a new web site that has been very well received and has
been very helpful. The site has implemented on-line: registration including fee
payment, score reporting, field schedule, rosters, library for policies and board
materials, and event registration and ticket sales. Approximately 80% of registration
payment is now on line.
 Developed and implemented new team selection process that has been used for this
fall and proven to be very successful.
 Partnered with NVYSL and other towns with similar philosophies to create very
positive balanced team divisions that are working well.
 Implemented a new play-up policy to help develop the higher skilled kids.
 Held monthly board meetings with a strong presence of board members each month.
Player Development
 Began player development programs for all players but especially the less skilled
teams to help improve their confidence, team and individual skills.
 Revised the Jamboree process to be fairer and more comprehensive with better
outside expertise to rate the players.
 Coaches and Age Coordinators worked to refine the definition of specific steps
for rating players and standard application of those steps by all coordinators for
all fall travel teams.
Coach Development
 Successfully held F License Coach training 30 people.
Fields
 Two new fields brought on-line, Harvard Park and Charlie Waite. The Harvard
Park field was used by all levels, age and skill within the club. The rumor that the
club arranged to conveniently open a new Dunkin’ Donuts across the street is not
true.
Other
 Held a Harvard Night at Gillette Stadium for a Revolution versus DC United
game attended by 43 club members.
