[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I had to guess, I think travel soccer will win tomorrow’s vote simply because of the strong “out” campaign and the fact that travel parents tend to be more motivated to show up. SYC travel parents in particular seem highly organized and ready to follow direction. Rec parents, on the other hand, are generally more laid back—which is part of why they choose rec. Still, it’s been interesting to see the travel side looking nervous leading up to this.[/quote]

Personally, I’m a travel parent planning to vote for the rec candidates. My kid plays travel because that matches their drive and abilities, but not a fan of the way management has handled things in recent years. Rec sports are an important community resource.[/quote]

this is too funny. [b]Someone willing to vote against their own child's best interest.[/b] Sounds like 24 and then they complain why they are being impacted by the changes.  SMH[/quote]

Not PP, but don't you have a great deal of respect for people who are willing to behave on principle? The prior poster thinks rec sports are a community resource and is voting for that regardless.

In addition PP is hoping that the rec preferred slate will try to act in organization-wide best interest, which would theoretically include travel soccer. After all, they say "not a fan of the way management has handled things in recent years." After all, before this thread became a conversation about field allocation, it was a conversation about the extra fees piled on after contracts were signed.[/quote]

"theoretically" but what then when it doesn't?  Vote however you want but there's a risk that it may impact your child's program.  People are trying to stir fear that soccer parents are trying to push all resources to their sport which is not the case.  As you say, the board is there to serve everyone so why create so much fear that if they are soccer parents that they will do the other sports wrong.  Vote on the best most qualified candidate and not "us vs them".[/quote]

Why would you wish for an entire board to be travel soccer.  Then there is no representation of any other sport. Travel soccer is one of sixteen sports SYC has. A Board with one sport does not look out for the interest of the other fifteen. [/quote]

I don't, I said vote for the best candidate. Just don't think it should be an agenda of us vs them.  If the best candidate is one that isn't soccer, than so be it.  I think all of these groups are afraid that they are going to get less if "one of theirs" doesn't get the vote. The SYC board should serve all sports but assets should be allocated appropriately.  It's also kind of dumb to take away from a sport that potentially is bringing the most income to the club.  I don't know if soccer is the top earning or not but it seems to be a large part of it.[/quote]
