GRAND VALLEY SOCCER OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION (GVSOA) (9-10-2009)
A new West Michigan soccer organization that has been formed. This new organization, Grand Valley Soccer Officials Association (GVSOA), will focus the majority of its time on developing youth USSF officials. GVSOA will be assisting local officials and assignors in certifying and recertifying, mentoring, advocating, and providing updated official USSF rule changes and positions. These are just some of the areas that this new organization will assist officials with.
Heading up this new organization are the founders, John Corbett, Jack Wolf and Mike Wint. The GVSOA is a sponsored organization of the Michigan State Youth Soccer Association. WMSOA recognizes this new organization and looks forward to working with them and coordinating activities during the year. Look for more news directly from GVSOA in the upcoming weeks.
The website for them is now up: www.gvsoa.org.
TRAINING MEETINGS AND WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND (6-15-2009)
WMSOA arranges a number of member training and development meetings throughout the year. We work hard to arrange these meetings to benefit our members and help to grow our association for the benefit of soccer. These meetings offer a great opportunity to foster teamwork and membership cooperation, review important issues in West Michigan Soccer, and review and gain education in current topics. These meetings are extremely important and are strongly supported by MHSAA, NISOA and USSF – you really need to take them seriously, become active participants and attend. If you have topics that you would like to included in the agenda – please advise any board member as soon as possible. Active members are given many advantages and get better game assignments.
