Message from the President February 2010 Fellow
Coaches: As we
enter the final part of soccer season 2009-2010, I can’t help but think about
how far our sport has advanced in the last two decades. I just finished an Executive Council
meeting and have received official approval for some funding of our soccer
all-star event in July. Can you
believe it? The LHSAA and the LHSCA
are now treating soccer as a full-fledged LHSAA sport. Those of you who have followed soccer
through the past 25-plus years know that it has been a long process to
receive this recognition. While
we still have some work to do, I feel very confident that we now have a
voice! Now to
the end-of-season business: (1)
Thank you to Sean Esker and Chad Vidrine, our two vice-presidents. They have spent many hours communicating
with you with reminders and answers.
They both really love working for you and the sport, and so do I. (2)
There is much information that must be gathered and sent to the LHSAA,
including district certification reports, district records, division records,
and overall records. Each playoff
qualifying team also must pay $26 to the LHSAA. Please refer to instructions that have been sent by Sean and
Chad. (3)
Coaches will rank the playoff teams in their respective divisions through the
principal’s secure lhsaaonline.org website.
If you are not familiar with this process, you will need to become
familiar very quickly. Coaches’
rankings were extremely successful last year because of the diligence of our
coaches. (4) It
is not too early to begin the nomination process for all-state and the other
end-of-season awards. Forms are
available on this website. (5)
Academic all-state is still being certified by the LHSSCA this year. Please send the forms from our website to
Sean Esker and Chad Vidrine for girls and boys, respectively. (6) Once
again, Sean Esker will conduct the Girls’ All-State process and Doug Hamilton
will conduct the Boys’ All-State process.
Nominations and questions should be directed there regarding that
process. (7)
Make plans to attend the LHSSCA annual meeting to be held at Menard High
School in Alexandria on March 6, 2010 at 1 pm. (8)
With all of this selection going on, please begin to consider which seniors
you would like to nominate for the second annual All-Star Classic on July 10,
2010! Nominations will be sent
directly to the LHSAA this year. See
their form at lhsaa.org. There will
be some differences to the process this year, and we will attempt to keep every
member coach well-informed. (9) A
final reminder – please join the LHSSCA. You must be a member in order to nominate and vote. Membership is slightly down from our
previous high percentage, but it’s not too late to join! Doug
Hamilton President,
LHSSCA |
