Education and Risk Management were the key features during this year's annual meeting, not to mention a very special celebration to acknowledge 30 years of SC Youth Soccer and the past President's who gave birth to the organization three decades ago. And let us not forget the awards banquet with a keynote address from Mark Berson, University of South Carolina Men's Soccer Coach. The SC Youth Soccer State Council meeting held scheduled elections for the positions of SC Youth Soccer Vice President and Treasurer. In addition to education and operation training, a review of SC Youth Soccer's overall financial state was delivered by Rick Cunningham. Barry Bynum continues to drive the importance of safety on the soccer field, with important information concerning goal safety and the necessity to inspect soccer fields before every practice and game. Pat Pullen of Pullen Insurance Services delivered the details on SC Youth Soccer coverage and the finer details of claims and liability. Everyone was reminded that 15-Passenger vans are NOT covered by SCYSA because of the likelihood of turnover on the road. Presidents from soccer Clubs across the state joined to trade information and hear changes to player registration procedures from Jane Simmons. Other important information delivered during the Workshop included State ODP Administrator Mary Bynum and Steve Cothran who had a few words about the Red Card Ejection Reporting. This year's administrative workshop was followed by the Awards Luncheon, sponsored by Pullen Insurance Services, Inc. Barry Whittington was honored as the 2007 Coach of the Year while Neil Veloso received the Publix Parent of the Year award. Significant contributions to the ever-challenging task of refereeing came from Stephanie Gauthier and Dalton Betzen who took high honors as the Female and Male Youth Referees of the Year. >>MORE 2007-2008 Administrative Manual A great deal of hard work and effort was expended in revising our latest edition of the SC Youth Soccer Administrative Manual and continuous updates of the web site. >>MORE  ODP
Reflects on SuccessesThe Olympic Development Program has had many successes in 2007. It started with our “over the top” numbers for ODP tryouts last fall. We were able to create strong teams and with the ability to compete at the Region III Sub Regionals and at ODP Region III Camp. Our teams enjoyed many wins, our players made the pools at camps, and our boys and girls achieved the selection to the Region III pool level. >>MORE Report

As soccer continues to grow and new members join your clubs, please educate your members on how they can be a big participant within your club. Families do not understand how a club works or what a club needs unless you inform them regarding the works of your organization. In order for a club to continue to improve its growth, they need volunteers to run a tournament, field maintenance, concession stand workers, board members, coaching staff, coordinator of the divisional play, webmaster, team managers etc. We need all of this to continue the growth of soccer and to be successful. >>MORE Thanks
