MVSSCA Newsletter

Fall 2005

Greetings

Hello! I would like to welcome everybody to another exciting season of high soccer in the Miami Valley. This is probably the best way to get all of the information to the coaches within the association. The purpose of this letter is to give you the important dates and information pertaining to MVSSCA and high school soccer.

Dues

All dues are to be paid to Bob Ellis, Treasurer, no later than August 28, 2005. If the dues are not paid on time, your players will not be eligible for any All Area and All State Awards. Any questions concerning dues and membership must be directed to Bob. The national dues remained unchanged at 60 dollars and will remain for the next three years. However, under the Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association (OSSCA) bylaws, the head coach must be a member of the local, state, and national associations. Check with your application for the breakdown of the dues.

Seed Meeting and MVSSCA meeting

The next MVSSCA meeting will be held on Saturday October 8, 2005 9:00am at Centerville High School. The tournament draw will be held at 10:00am. Please confirm with your Athletic Director, The Southwest District Athletic Board website () and local website () about the date and time of the draw. The All Star packet will be handed out at this time.

Open Draw (Super Bracket)

There will be no open draw for DII Boys and Girls and DIII Boys for the Fall 2005 season. The surveys were conducted for Boys DII and DIII and Girls DII last fall. Despite the votes we have needed to pass the open draw, the SWDAB felt the open draw was not the best interest for the Miami Valley in these participating districts. Again, I had no support from the Southwest District Athletic Board. We will try again during the 2005 fall season. Each member will receive a ballot for the open draw during the general meeting on August 13. The ballot must be completely filled out and signed by the coach, athletic director and principal and return to the seed meeting. If the ballot is not turned in, you will not vote in the All Star Meeting. We want 100% participation from the association for an accurate voting. The form can also be obtained from the Miami Valley website.

MVSSCA Website ()

Our website has received a face lift this year. I encourage everyone to check it out. The current webmaster is Sean Humenansky from Alter High School.

We have places to post needed games, scrimmages, and preseason tournaments. There is an area for forms (open draw ballot, membership application and etc.) The leagues are now posted on the site, if there are any changes or omissions, let Sean know. Sean is currently taking schedules from any schools within the association. If there is anything that you would like to add to the website email Sean at webmaster@

OSSCA Website ()

I would like to encourage everyone to check out our state website. Our website (Gene Pistick) has made some additions to the website. Any news or updates concerning the state association and membership will be posted on the site. If anybody has any questions please contact Gene at genep@woh.

Ohio Soccer Stats ()

Ohio Soccer Stats is a website created by Jake Cooper from Orange High School. After each game, you can enter the results and provide stats for individual players. It is a great tool for you and your players. I strongly encouraged you to use the website. It is very easy to use and takes a little of your time. If you have any questions, please contact Jake at ohiosoccerstats@
