Dear Coaches and Managers:

I have several announcements so please read through the entire email.

North Tract Task Force Presentation at County Board Meeting:  On Saturday, February 21, County staff will present their recommendation to proceed with the North Tract’s conceptual plan.  That plan includes four synthetic turf soccer fields.  This is the first step in a lengthy process of determining costs, how much to pursue in upcoming bond elections, and which North Tract facilities should be developed first.  This item is the first under the regular agenda; consent items will come first.  Our best guess is that it will come up around 11:00 am.  There will be an opportunity for public comment so if any of you or your players want to come out and express your support for the staff recommendation, please come to the County Board room on the 3rd floor of 2100 Clarendon Boulevard, and fill out a speaker slip.  We do not expect any opposition, but it is always a good idea to have supporters present.

ATSC Directory:  Attached is a draft copy of the Spring, 2004 directory.  Please make sure that all information for coaches, assistant coaches, managers and assistant managers is correct, especially email addresses and cell phone numbers.  I am adding the names and email addresses of team treasurers at the request of our ATSC treasurer.  Those of you using indoor space know to send that information to me.  Others can send me that information too.  Remind your treasurers if you have not sent payment for indoor soccer fees at the Bubble or Reed, the deadline was February 14.

Need More Pictures for Website:  Our webmaster informs me that he’s fresh out of boy team action shots.  As you participate in tournaments and scrimmages this spring, please take pictures and send them to Chug Roberts.  Remember that they need to be ATSC-approved uniforms.  We want more girl team shots too so Chug can add more teams to the rotation.

March Newsletter:  We will be preparing a March newsletter with information about DC Scores, report on our Club Council meeting, and lots of pictures and information from upcoming tournaments.  If you have an idea for an article, please contact Ned Leonard, our chair, at ned@westernfuels.org.

Goalie Coach Tryout Session on Sunday:  Don’t forget to contact Grant Smith if your goalie can attend the tryout session this Sunday at Gunston from 1:30-3:00 pm.

Arlington Soccer Association Referee Clinic:  Mark your calendars for April 6, 7 and 10 for the Arlington Soccer Association’s youth referee clinic.  The outdoor field practice is from 10:00 am to noon on Saturday, April 10.  Location and times for the classroom portion to be determined.  You can check the ASA website (www.arlingtonsoccer.com) and I will send a notice with specific times and locations.

 Club Council Meeting on March 16:  Don’t forget that a manager and coach or their representative from each team should attend this meeting, scheduled at 7:30 pm at the Langston Brown Community Center (directions on ATSC website).  Thanks for reading the whole email.
