Final Futsal Update

What  a great 3rd Futsal season for us.  With over 120 kids participating, we certainly kept Safari Island hopping each Sunday!  Congratulations to our division champs and I hope everyone saw the value in what we did.  I have no doubt that each participant left the season with improved technical skills and ball control from where they started.  Best of luck in your summer seasons and I hope to see everyone back out for Futsal again next winter.  Check back regularly and be sure to watch for registration to open back up in October.

As always, please send feedback this way (positive or negative).   Your feedback is critical to make sure we continue to offer a relavent and valuable experience for all the players.  Thanks again, and stay in touch.

Far Post Soccer and Waconia Soccer Club's Work Together

Far Post Soccer Club and Waconia Soccer Club are happy to share that we've developed a common solution to provide notable improvements for competitive soccer environment for Waconia.

Waconia Soccer Club have committed to the following:

- Begining future soccer years in August
- Offering Fall MYSA Soccer for U9/10/11/12 (possibly 13)
- Utilizing the same referee assignor and mentorship program that FPS was pursuing
- Promoting and providing financial supports for coach licensing and development
- Develop and leverage a Field Committee and others as necessary
- Publish an annual MYSA soccer budget for Waconia
- Holding an Annual General Meeting for parents, players, coaches and referees

FPS have committed to the following:

- Not taking registration for Spring/Summer 2012 MYSA soccer
- Not offering MYSA soccer for Fall 2012
- Championing and supporting Waconia Soccer Club
- Improving and continuing Futsal/Indoor Soccer opportunities for Waconia

Areas that we'll continue to improve focus on include:

- Developing a player development approach and plan that works for Waconia Soccer Club
- Refocusing key points for Risk Management in a way that works for Waconia Soccer Club

Over the past months, passion and engagement around the competitive soccer landscape for Waconia has been at a high.  This is good in that support and desire for continuous improvement and providing what's best for the kids participating in competitive soccer are in focus. This is also dangerous in that there are strong opinions and positions on a number of topics which can cause divisiveness and issues during a separation of clubs. 

We firmly believe this solution is in the best interest for the competitve soccer players of Waconia as it:

1) Avoids a painful split which will no doubt have negative impact for some players and teams
2) Provides significant changes and improvements for the current club

Thank you for your support over the past months and we are looking forward to working together in an effective and value adding way for the kids in Waconia.

Yours in Soccer,

Mike Bruggeman (President FPS)
