HSC
BOARD MEETING INCLUDING ELECTIONS
May
8, 2008We will have our board meeting
on Weds May 14l 9 at 8:00pm at the high school - room C308
In addition to our typical discussions on business
of the club, we will hold our annual elections for the fall season. This is typically done in April, but due to a Pens
game and Central open house, there were only 9 people in attendance
Elected positions and incumbents are:
President -
Jim Janovsky
Vice President(s) -
Girls and Boys - Paul Lawson Treasurer -
Dave Duessel Secretary - Jeff Bauman Registrar - Allison Waldschmidt
All of these offices are open for competition
The elected board then may appoint commissioners for the Age groups; u-6; u-8 boys; u-8 girls;
u-10 boys; u-10 girls; u-12 boys; u-12 girls; u-14 boys; u-14 girls; u-16/19, along with Parents Auxilliary; Uniforms; Fields;
Coaching and Player Development, etc.
I know several people who will either move up in age group,
and/or do not want to be handling 2 ages as they are now. We can have more than one person act or handle the position
of age group commissioner.
We will also need at least one new referee scheduler for the fall - my wife is
retiring. These may be behind the scenes positions, but without them, we don't have officials for our games.
As always, we need new volunteers for many positions.
Please encourage coaches, friends, etc to come to this meeting if they are interested in participating in the decisions of
Hampton Soccer Club. Particularly, if someone has questions about the responsibilities of a position, we can address that.
If you are unable to attend and have something for
discussion, please send me an email.
Sincerely, Jim Janovsky

Fields Announcement
from Jim Janovsky
March 30, 2008
First off, I wish to THANK all of those who came to help with field day yesterday.
We probably had the best turnout ever - sorry if we didn't have enough work to keep all of you fully busy, but I'll take that
versus the many times when we had 6-8 people show-up and struggle to complete the work. We had all of the fields painted, nets on goals and
moved to their fields, the equipment room cleaned - all of that done by 12:15. Again, a BIG THANK YOU to
all who attended. Unfortunately, that's the
good news for the moment. The bad news, as many of you saw, the fields are still very wet and soggy - they are closed for the moment. I will check them everyday
this week and give you an update. We really need several days of 60 degree weather with a breeze and little, if any, rain.
The forecast I've seen doesn't look great right now. Possibly at the very best, I would hope that we might get games in this weekend - that will probably
be without any practices on the fields, but the jury is out on that. We are actually starting the season about a week early, so just be patient please. Fields
will remain closed for the moment. I'm trying to work on schedules and hope to provide everyone at least with the home game information for next week. Let me know if you have any questions. thanks, jim

FALL 2008
REGISTRATION
Added March 8, 2008
The Hampton Soccer Club will hold a 'live'
registration session for the Fall 2008 season on Thurs. May 22 from 7 to 9 pm in the Hampton High School cafeteria.
More information will follow.

GRADE 9 REFEREE CLASS - Hampton High School
Added Jan. 3, 2008
The
Hampton Soccer Club will be hosting a Grade 9 - starting referee class.
It is on the Pawest website
(www.pawest-soccer.org) - go to the referee section and check under 'calendar'
The class will be held on January 15, 17, 22 and 24 from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at the
high school, room C310 - you must attend all 4 sessions to qualify of a referee license. Cost
is $50. A portion of that will be refunded via two bonuses that are payable based on officiating a number of
games in the spring and/or fall seasons.
Please sign-up as soon as possible. PaWest plans to cut-off the registration one week prior to the class date.
Also please send me an email at: janovskys@verizon.net if you wish to register.
We usually have a good turnout of young players with interest to referee. HOWEVER,
I am challenging our adults/ coaches, etc to have at least 6 new adult referees for the spring. It is time well
spent. You may think you know the rules, but it's not the same until you take a referee class. It provides a whole new perspective
of the game.
Commissioners - please consider taking the course yourself and try to promote this with your
coaches.
Please contact me with
any questions.
Sincerely,
Jim Janovsky - President, Hampton
Soccer Club

FIELD CLEAN-UP
September 20, 2007
Email
from J. Janovsky:
Dear Parents and Coaches,
Hampton
Soccer Club is so fortunate to have nice fields and facilities. However, some people believe
they can use them as personal garbage cans. While I was setting-up this morning
for the u-6 games, I picked-up 13 water bottles, two cans and a variety of other pieces of garbage.
Unfortunately,
this was not the first time - it happens almost every weekend and sometimes during the week when I'm walking the fields.
I don't believe that we should be garbage collectors, and the coaches
have enough already. BUT, I will ask that you all make attempts to police the field for garbage after your games and
practices - make your team responsible. Otherwise, we may have to consider alternatives about food and drink on the fields.
Commissioners
and coaches, please pass this message along.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Sincerely, Jim
Janovsky - President, HSC
