2009 Spring Season

Welcome to the 2009 soccer season, we hope to have a great year with the help of all our members. Over the past year we have made several improvements to our fields and facility and we have many more planned. Just to let you know where your fees are being spent, over the past year we have purchased 12 new goals, reseeded and fertilized all of the fields, repainted the interior of the concession stand and restrooms, new cabinetry will be in the concession stand for the start of the season, purchased new soccer balls, and have recently purchased a aerator to be used on the fields. Our newest field next to the new parking lot in the front of our facility should be ready for play in the fall; we would ask that until then please do not use this field for any reason so that the turf has a chance to get well established. Our next project is to install irrigation for the fields; we have been working on this for several months and now have a finalized plan and cost. We will be working with the county and the recreation department to make this happen and will keep you updated on the progress.

The new Nelson County Youth Soccer Association board has been elected and is listed with contact information on the link to the left of this page. If at anytime you have a question or concerns please contact any board member and they will lead you to the person you need to talk to. We have a wonderful group of people that have volunteered and worked hard to help this league progress, but we still need volunteers to fill the following positions,

U-16 COMMISIONER
U-12 COMMISIONER
PUBLIC RELATIONS COMMISIONER

If you would like to volunteer for one of the positions please contact a board member. The more people we have involved the more we can accomplish for the league.

If you would like to attend a board meeting for a specific concern please contact Maureen Weir Secretary/Treasurer she will let you know when and where the next meeting will be and add your concern to the agenda.

Sincerely,

Dan Weir
2009 Board President

NCYSA is Looking for Several Adult Referees

NCYSA is looking for several adults that are already referees or willing to become referees for the upcoming spring season. Usually in the spring because of the older kids playing competitive soccer we sometimes have trouble finding age appropriated referees for the older age group games. If you are already a certified referee and are willing to referees games please contact our referee commissioner, Chuck Russman at (502) 639-5009. If you are not certified and are interested in becoming a soccer referee go to KY Soccer Referee Association and click on "Recertification/Entry Level Courses" and then click on "District Three" to see when a course is being held so that you can become certified.

Being a referee for soccer games is a great way to earn some extra cash and also a great way to get some exercise. Click here to see our referee fees.
