Sun Prairie Soccer Club

     building a soccer community

Parent Advisory/Team Manager Group

The following is a short definition of some of the committees the SPSC Board of Directors feels necessary to develop the Club and guarantee a long and prosperous soccer community. The definitions were left short and unspecific to allow for creativity and remove unnecessary constraints.

The Board thinks that the committees should be able to organize itself internally and present the Board with their own operational procedures, according to need.

The Board will strive, however, to maintain operational coherence between Committees and its interaction with the club.

The ultimate goal of the SPSC Parent Advisory Group/Team Manager Meeting and the Committees therein formed is to enlarge the pool of talent and participation in the activities of the Club.

Contact Tony Veroeven at ParentRep@sunprairiesoccer.com for more information on any of these committees.

The committee needs to address a whole host of issues related to fields.

• identify current and prospective fields and evaluating its condition, ongoing and in the future;
• identify and forecast needs for new fields
