[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what happened?!?!?[/quote]

EM got his head handed to him. Lol[/quote]

Travel soccer parent. EM completely mismanaged this. He first angered a heck of a lot of us with his Edge $1000 team fees. Then he got greedy and nominated too many people. Then he expected us to vote for his slate. What a joke. No one trusts him. And I support getting rid of all the other sports. [/quote]

So you support getting rid of other sports that 1000s of kids participate in? [/quote]

We were just told the optional EDGE training would only be $220 for 11 sessions.  Which is a great value over the other training options in this area, which run closer to $40 per session.  And it is optional, except for the 1st teams U13-U19... which to be honest, is a great deal for year round prioritized team indoor training space.

Secondly, 'getting rid of the other sports' is a complete mischaracterization.  That is not the same as dividing SYC into SYC Soccer and SYC All other sports, it would be easier to manage if that were the case.  No one wants to remove options for kids playing sports, it's just becoming an organizational management problem. [/quote]
Looks like SYC has entered the chat[/quote]

Off the top of my head if SYC soccer takes the organizational management piece away, the other sports have to suddenly:

* Find someone to do their taxes (even when tax exempt you still have to file) - even if they hire this out someone has to collect the paperwork
* Fill out the paperwork to get the tax exempt status, which I remember being kind of a pain when we went through the process
* Manage their own bank account and mailing address (will they still get to use SYC's office?)
* Handle permitting and pay county fees, unless it's already on the commissioners of each sport to handle permitting for their fields/gyms themselves
* Handle insurance unless, again, they already do it
* Get a website such as Playmetrics, Demosphere, Sports Engine, or Sports Connect, set it up, and run their registration, team building, scheduling, and such through it as needed.
* Post all the current information that's on the current website (rules, overviews of sports) on the new website and continue to keep it current
* Handle their own social media and communications - some sports do, some don't currently

Sounds like the current organizational management wants to focus in one place, not that it'll be easier for everyone else.[/quote]

The other side would have to acquire field space as well as many other things. Don’t cherry pick.[/quote]
