The BOE has notified the SPFSA as of Friday, 12 noon, that Park Middle School will be closed Saturday, 2/6 due to expected winter storm conditions. All indoor soccer @ this venue is cancelled. Enjoy the snow! Have fun. Be safe.

The SPFSA Winter program for Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st, & 2nd graders will begin on Saturday, 1/23 at the Park Middle School.  Click here for schedules. This program will run on Saturdays at the Park Middle school through early March.

Team coordinators are seriously needed for ’coaching’ Saturday mornings. The fast pace of play yields high scoring games and requires little more from coordinators beyond ’subbing on the fly.  Please email Rob Monroy at robert.monroy@citi.com to volunteer your services or for any questions that you may have.

A late registration period for the Spring 2010 season was held held from January 15th through the 31st for all pre-kindergarten, 3rd/4th grade and Inter-County division players and for new players in kindergaten, 1st and 2nd grade divisions, ie - children who did not play in the fall but wish to join for the spring. A new 'wait-list' option will be announced shortly. For full details about all registration periods, go to the link for General Information/Registration.

New challenges and new opportunities await the SPFSA as it moves forward in a troubling economy w/ growing enrollment and new playing venues. The board has pledged to keep registration fees unchanged while recognizing that financial aid will increase. However, some operating costs like training expenses and field lighting payments will grow. A lighted turf venue provides ample opportunities for new events for our children, but the current group of dependable volunteers need your help.

Specific areas as the planning and administration of social events, field maintenance, fundraising and publicity will be crucial as we go forward. These efforts do not require a soccer background, just some enthusiasm and/or organizational skills. The executive board of the SPFSA is commited to the families of our community, but is going to need that commitment returned. Please contact Jeff Kowalczyk @ 908-322-5200 or jeff@connectionspersonnel.com to join the volunteer pool.

The SPFSA Executive Board would like to be able to use parents’ expertise in various professional services when such input would benefit decision making and policy implementation. The panel participants simply need to be available for occasional telephone/email communications about specific topics. The board is most interested in, but not limited to, having readily available resources in the medical (pediatric medicine, social/behavorial science, physical therapy), legal (personal injury/liability, child safety, labor/employment) and financial areas (fundraising, insurance, banking). All interested parties should contact jimfawcett@comcast.net or call 908-419-4426 for details.
