Subject: PSC proposal for U14G Stars for spring 2007

 

EVERYONE,



 

The Lady Chiefs had too many "transfer players" making them ineligible to be state carded. Currently, the Stars + the Strikers have insufficient players to be viable state carded teams. Therefore the PSC proposes the following procedures to insure all the girls will play:

 

The Strikers + Stars players will be combined to form U14G Stars.



The Lady Chiefs + the Stars would BOTH be US Club Carded due to the very rigid NJSA carding rules. As such, they will play "friendlies" vs teams of their choosing, on days and times and locations of their choosing, as opposed to league games. They would BOTH be eligible to enter any unrestricted tournament. The lady Chiefs will be attending (3) tournaments in the spring. The Lady Chiefs will probably play a total of 14 friendlies when all is said and done. These same opportunities will be afforded to the Stars and can be acted upon (or not) based on the wishes of the Star's Coach and parents.

 

The Lady Chiefs will continue to wear the Middle School uniforms that the PSC purchased for them last September. There are (5) EXTRA sets which would afford the movement of players between the 2 teams for tournaments and/or friendlies when BOTH coaches see fit. The Stars will continue to wear the Adidas Cosmos uniform. In the event there is any duplication of jersey #'s, we will use tape IF the referee requires it. Except for tournaments, this should NOT be an issue. The PSC has EXTRA Cosmos uniforms on hand that it can loan to the Stars if they will need them for "guest" players. 



 

The Stars will be afforded the opportunity to utilize the same trainer as the Lady Chiefs and the teams will be encouraged to train together. This will also be at the discretion of the Stars coach. The Lady Chiefs plan to train OUTSIDE for most of the Winter. This will NOT be forced upon the Stars, but will be made available to them.

 

The 2 teams are currently divided by "skill set". This division will be subject to review and change as may be warranted. The coaches of both teams will work together to insure the girls are all developing and are on the correct team based on their skill set.



 

The head coach of the Lady Chiefs is Joe Portelli. Jerry Sandoval is the team manager and assistant coach. Calvin Simons is being offered the position of Stars coach. If he declines or decides to leave the club, Jerry Sandoval will become the Stars Head Coach and Joe Portelli will be the Assistant Coach. 

 

The PSC has made these changes in the hopes of improving the girls program. By placing girls of similar ability on the same team, regardless of age, it is expected that the girls will be able to develop more quickly. When slightly weaker players are supported by stronger players, the weaker players get less touches, less play time, and less opportunities on the ball to improve. The stronger players may lose interest, are not sufficiently challenged, and stop developing. We think this is part of the problem with the High School girls team.



 

The other problem was a lack of chemistry. By providing this training atmosphere we were successful in getting (4) girls to return to the PSC from outside clubs!! This should result in the girls having better chemistry as they enter High School together, having just played 2 seasons with eachother.

 

No scenario is perfect. Given our choices, we feel this proposal provides a lot of bang for the buck and will absolutely create opportunities for player development. Unfortunately, playing in MNJYSA is not a choice for the spring. If any of you absolutely needs to remain in that same environment you have become accustomed to, we will simply have to issue you a polite and speedy refund. You would be given your state pass and be free to pursue playing opportunities with any club of your choosing. It is our hope that everyone who has registered will adjust and enjoy the season!!



 

THERE WILL BE A TEAM MEETING ON THURSDAY NIGHT 1/25 AT 7:00PM AT WESTERGARD LIBRARY (20 MURRAY AVE) FOR THE PURPOSE OF CARDING ALL THE STARS PLAYERS, ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND MAKING NEW FRIENDS!! PLEASE BRING:

 

1) BIRTH CERTIFICATE (COPY)



2) PICTURE (HEAD SHOT) FOR NEW PLAYER PASS

3) YOUR SMILE AND AN OPEN MIND! 

 

I look forward to seeing all of you at that time. Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have prior to the meeting. Thanks!



 

Joe Portelli, Executive VP 

Piscataway Soccer Club
Concerns of Members - None
Old Business:


  1. Mike DeLello requested the board be able to apply for a gaming permit from the township of Piscataway to cover 50-50s and a possible Casino Night Fund Raiser. – Mike DeLello will apply for same with Piscataway Township.




  1. Chuck Myers advised he would be meeting with the Boys and Girls PHS Coaches to implement a “Program” of soccer development, and ask them for a “wish list”. Chuck will report back to the board. Mike Majorczak suggested also speaking with the PHS Booster Club in regard to financial support. Item open. Joe P advised he was trying to set up a meeting on December 11, 2006 with the coaches.

Jan 2007: Chuck reported meeting went well, and will schedule a follow up meeting. A Turf Field Equipment Box has been purchased and placed at the Field, shared with PHS Soccer Teams.


  1. Joe Portelli requested payment from the club on the $6,000 he laid out for Futsol Equipment as directed by the club. Brian Hinds to issue payment. Joe Portelli reported item closed.




  1. Joe Portelli advised he would like to look into Portable Lights for the PSC for night games and training.

January 2007: Tabled.
New Business


  1. Joe Portelli has recruited a U9 Girls Team for the Spring 2007 season from the ranks or Instructional, to be coached by Jen Vrooman. Susan Manno will be the coach or record until Jen obtains her license.




  1. Chuck Myers has 1000 PSC patches for Travel Use in Tournaments.




  1. Joe reviewed the New Uniforms:

The Cosmos uniforms we are currently using will remain in production until November 2007 and will still be available for purchase from the vendor until at least Spring 2008. Therefore, you can keep your team in the Cosmos for at least 1 year if you want to.

 

The NEW uniform kits will still be red and white but will be CHEAPER.



The NEW uniform will be the Adidas Squadra. ALL NEW TEAMS are free to purchase these kits immediately. The kits will consist of exactly what you now receive, EXCEPT the artwork will be scaled down tremendously. The sewn on patch will be replaced by a "screen" of the patch. The tackle twill numbers will be replaced by "iron on" numbers. The will NOT be a number on the shorts. There will NOT be a name on the jerseys. These will NOT be available as options.

 

These NEW kits will come with 2 jerseys, 1 shorts, 1 socks, and will cost ONLY $75.00! It will also be much easier to transfer stock among players and even teams with the demise of the numbered shorts and names. You can also purchase the Cosmos kits this NEW way (no tackle twill, no names etc) for $75.00 as well. 



 

As far as accessories - the Escudo warm-up is discontinued, but will be available for a month or so from the vendor. After that, you would have to purchase it from an online source like Eurosport, and we can get it screened for you.

 

There are a couple NEW warmups out - I will get pricing info to everyone asap. Since winter is half over, I don't really see the rush to get a warm-up unless you really want to get 1 before they are all gone.



 

I will also get prices on backpacks and field bags. Unfortunately these items have lives of only 3 years as well and may have changed.

 

So to recap:



Cosmos (old way) $89.00 (no name) - $99.00 WITH name.

Cosmos NEW way - $75.00

Squadra NEW way - $75.00

End of New Business.
