9 Area 1C - October Region Reports Region 88- Aldo Things in Region 88 are about par for the course. Entering the 9 th week of the season, two more games for U10 thru U14, then playoffs will start. Pink soccer balls were passed around the week before last and we collected almost $5,000 to be donated to Children s Hospital Los Angeles to help find a cure for childhood cancer. Thanks to Bruce, Scott, and several other parties, we re getting quite a few R88 referees assessed for Advanced and National badges. Final player evaluations will take place the week after next (for those who may not know, every U5 thru U19 R88 player gets evaluated). All-star team numbers and all-star coaches are in place. Several of our teams have signed up for the MST. See you all Thursday! Region 60 - Rolando Things are pretty normal (a coach here and there being sent off) for the most part. - We had our first ever Silent Saturday on 10/18. It was overall a successful event, enough to try it again next season (although earlier in the season) - Region 60 Galaxy Night on 10/19 was a success - Playoffs begin for BU12 this weekend, U10, GU12 and U14 begin on 11/09 - We will be sending teams to both MST & ASC - All-Star coach selection and player ratings will begin next week Region Sandy Had picture day on October 4, Playoffs began last week for Divisions U-10B and U-12B they will have championship games and 3 rd place games this weekend. Finally having volunteers commit to completing their e-signatures and on-line certifications. Scheduled a volunteer meeting last Friday October 24, 2014 for all 2014 volunteers and gave them a brief talk on RC term being open and recruitment of a board and positions that have to be filled.

10 No one is willing to step up and take over but willing to help if I stay one more year. There were 25 volunteers present at the time of the meeting. Volunteers requested an immediate meeting for October 29, 2014 to discuss board positions and other volunteer duties. In need of U-10 Coach certification and U-12 Coach for new coaches anyone offering last minute? Thank you Lisa for the referee certifications. My apologies on behalf of our region for any disrespectful coach or parent. Region 214 Maurice Things are going well along with some of the ongoing challenges to keep the region running smoothly We will have field issues to deal with soon at the high school in South Pasadena due to some work they have to do on the track more information on that to come. Looks like the high school will be asking to share some of our field space in the Arroyo. will have to navigate through this process We had all star tryouts for 14 year olds and 12 year olds last weekend and will have tryouts for 10 year olds this coming weekend Extra teams are doing well the 14 year old team is 4th out of 12 teams in a very tough division. games are with teams from Palos Verdes and the west side of Los Angeles Santa Monica Beverly Hills 11 year old team is doing well many nice comments from other regions about the conditions of our fields and the quality of refereeing Will participate in an extra only tournament in January We will be forming all-star teams and tournament teams in the next week. Looks like we will have 3 or 4 teams go to Myles Standish and 5 or 6 teams go to the Arroyo Seco tournament The 21st annual Arroyo seco Cup tournament will take place November 28th and 29th it will be run by yours truly once again. Our relationship with the Challenger coaching organization has gone very well. planning on having winter camps and planning camps for spring and summer. thinking about using the Galaxy organization for winter camps related to All Stars and tournaments Will be working on our budget for 2015 Have started advertising the slate of new candidates for those rolling off the board this year Registrar, treasurer, assistant commissioner secretary, special events are open one last thing we did participate this month and had up on our website October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month asked teams and parents to wear pink where/when they could...made October 25th Think Pink day...socks shoelaces pink face paint spray painted pink hair pink stickers great idea from Aldo on the pink soccer balls I think we'll do that instead next year.

Some sign up but do not show up. In talks of putting some stringent sanctions at every level for next year. No participation in our TC Cup, play-through or All Stars I would love to hear what some of you have in place in your Regions. Just to be candid, only one Ref (AR) from Region 2, I believe, actually helped out one time, one game out of all the U14 and U12 games throughout the season at Live Oak Park. Very disappointing to say the Least! We are getting ready for our Closing Ceremonies on November 15th. Announcing all the League winners, passing out Year Books. We have Baskets that we raffle off Lunch Trucks, Games, vendors A great time to recap and have a fun day at the Park Selection of Tournament coaches and All Star Coaches Selected Lastly but Most importantly Regions 98 and 2 are jointly sponsoring a Bone Marrow Donor Drive in support of Vicki Barstow and her fight against Leukemia. The Barstow Bone Marrow Donor Drive will be held this Saturday, November 1st from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at Live Oak Park in Temple City (10144 Bogue St.) and from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Camino Grove Elementary School in Arcadia (700 Camino Grove Ave.). Attached is a flyer with important information about the Donor Drive. I will not be able to attend on Thursday but will have someone to represent!

12 Region 2 - Peter Every year one division causes more trouble than all the rest. This year it's BU-12 with coaches and parents misbehaving. Section and area coaches were selected weeks ago and they are in the process of selecting their tournament rosters, For Thanksgiving, we are sending 13 area type teams to MST and 11 section types to Huntington Beach. Saturday we are coordinating with Region 98 on a Be the Match bone marrow donor program to benefit Vicki. Arcadia has decided on a fee schedule for the turf fields at AHS and ACH. They will be charging $28.95 an hour for any use. We have provided new goals at City Hall and arrived at an agreement with the city regarding acceptable equipment in the CH area. EZ ups are now OK with saucer type anchors. Four legged chairs are also fine. Everything must be placed on the cement. We'll be forming a search committee to vet CVPA and Registrar replacements.
