The Bill Heard Soccer Complex consisting of a 12 fields on 40 acres of land devoted as a soccer only facility. This makes it one of the largest privately owned soccer sites in the South Eastern United States. Receiving no government funding to maintain the facility it is classified as a non-profit organization. Funding is obtained from generous donations and fund raising efforts by parents and volunteers.
An open letter addressed to all players, parents and coaches involved in the Florida Soccer Alliance/Seminole Soccer Club.
Welcome and a warm word of thanks to both the families already involved in our activities and the new family members tat joined us recently.
As you all know our club is 90% a volunteer organization and as such we depend on our members for support, encouragement and participation in the upcoming events. This club belong to its members, players and their families.
Our team consisting of two full time Directors of Coaching, Andy Ashworth and Kim Montgomery, two part time office staff members, Tanya Neidert and Sue McCarthy, and Bill Eissele, a volunteer Director of Coaching, are all working at full capacity to maintain the mission of the club. The mission is to create a fun environment for players and spectators alike. In this environment we develop the players into becoming proficient in the game they love. The staff members and coaches gives them age appropriate training and coaching.
The club have a volunteer board consisting of 12 members to ensure that the visions and mission of the club is followed. This is thus the responsibility of club members and the staff. There are times when the objects are not achieved and could be due to lack of suitable volunteers, lack of enthusiastic support from the members or even judgement errors made by the staff members. It is a huge undertaking to ensure that the 800 plus family members are aware and responsive to the needs of the Seminole Soccer Club. It is always that a positive environment is created for the young players at all times. Are we always successful, no, the game of soccer is evolving and so is the club.
How can this problem be solved? The players must learn the rules of soccer, not for the reward of winning a game, but for the game itself. We all know that soccer is the most creative game on earth. The eventual rewards available in soccer is fantastic, players get huge financial rewards and public respect.
Parents can do their part in three simple ways. They must allow their kids the opportunity to have fun while playing a match and give them as much support as possible. The coaches will assist them in the art of the game. Parents must support and encourage the coaches for their efforts. In the unlikely event of disagreeing it should be handled with care and in private. Lastly, parents must get involved in club affairs to make it succeed. Become volunteers in the activities and assist in raising funds to keep the club in a good state.
The coaches, must remember that the games are there for the children. They must train them in a way appropriate to their age while still having fun and grow in the game.
This letter is asking for all to support and make this club the best in Florida. We thank you for all past assistance.

People enjoy going to sporting events. It does not matter whether they are players on the field or spectators in the stands. It is exciting and enjoyable in most every way. However, there is one problem that many people have. It is something that can put a damper on the day for everyone and is the main reason a lot of people opt to stay home. It is the pests that can sometimes plague the field and the stands. Since no one wants to stay home, eliminating pests on the soccer field takes top priority for most venues.
Foggers and sprays are considered safe in a lot of places. The downside is that it is a chemical that is being sprayed on the field where players will be spending a couple hours. This exposure to a lot of chemicals over a long period of time could cause health concerns eventually. It may not happen in a game or ten, but after a lifetime of playing sports, it could begin to cause issues. For this reason, a lot of arena owners have begun looking at 
If you have never searched high and low to discover which cooler could be best, you haven’t lived. Once you rule out the rock-bottom priced ones, because they do not provide you with enough ice retention to last a game in the middle of summertime, you are stuck trying to decide, which is best out of the higher-end coolers. This lead me to search for 
My son may not get the importance of my cooler choice. I’m quite certain his father isn’t really sure of it either, even though he loves Pelican and Yeti style coolers. He is an avid outdoorsman, but I’ve told him this cooler is mine and for use on game day. Just think about it, when your team is out there on the field and it is super-hot outside, they know they can come to me for their ice cold pouch drinks. I reserve the soda for myself. Occasionally, one of them will bring a special sports drink along and I always have plenty of room to put it in the cooler. Even a game that runs longer than planned can still have a cold drink at the end of it. My son probably thinks you can get that from any cooler. I know better than he does and all other opposing team moms envy me. Therefore, I am happy.
When it comes to extreme sports, most people picture things that can cause massive and sometimes fatal injuries. However, as a soccer player, I can tell you that not all extreme sports have to be life risking tricks and stunts. Our team and others like us, all have a lot of battle wounds each season and even though we aren’t risking life and limb on the field, we are still in jeopardy of our own brand of injuries that can make it impossible to play the sport we love.
Any sport that a person plays can cause injuries. The severity of the injury depends on what type sport you are playing and what exactly goes wrong at that one moment when the game turns into something that isn’t much fun. Each player on our team was warned before they began playing that they were risking injuries to the legs. Every player accepted that risk and none of us have managed to escape a full season without either a leg, knee, or ankle injury. However, because we love the sport of soccer playing, we all are 
Since we use aquatic therapy before, during, and after an injury, we often heal up faster than other teams that go against us during a season. When asked what our secret is, we talk to them about the fact that we have a great pool to work out in. Their first response is usually curiosity about the type of workouts we do to heal a specific injury. Once that curiosity is satisfied, they usually get onto the topic of how hard a pool is to maintain. Once that comes up, we tell them that thanks to our 
Now, the picture that comes to mind when someone says, “soccer mom” is a middle class woman who lives in a suburban area. She is often pictured driving around in her minivan hauling a van load of school aged children wherever they need to go, especially to their soccer games. This woman is not commonly seen as sexy, nor is she mentally pictured as awesome. In fact, more often than not, she is seen as a nerdy type woman in dress pants and button up shirt, with glasses on her nose, and no makeup.
