Brian Davis, LISA District Scheduler | 
As the 2011-2012 season draws to a close we want to thank Brian Davis, the LISA District Scheduler. It is Brian who draws up all the LISA schedules for league play, cup play, rescheduled games, LISA tournaments and makes sure that we all follow the rules set out by LISA, BC Soccer and CSA constitutions. Needless to say it is a huge job which demands someone with a tremendous amount of patience and knowledge of intersecting rules.
Thank you Brian! |
| Do you know the Coach of the Year? | |
