Greetings!
Your RPSC board is working to improve the timing of team formation.  An important factor is having enough volunteers to efficiently accomplish the various tasks needed for our club to run smoothly.  Three roles particularly need filling NOW:  Coordinator for Soccer Camp, Equipment Coordinator and U6 Coordinator.  (Select links or scroll down to see details.)
Sincerely,
Ed Stimac (Manager/Board President)
Phil Pasqua (Treasurer)
Alison French-Tubo (Registrar & Webmaster)
Deborah Diller (Secretary)
Mike Canty (Head Coach)
Abdel Villalobos (Head Referee)
James Christiansen (Fields Coordinator)
Mandi Sittarich (Uniform & Picture Night Coordinator)
Help for the Fields
Beyond the weekly field lining that rotates among teams, the playing fields benefit from regular TLC and maintenance.  Recently, Matt Hargett has stepped up to assist with the U6 & U8 fields at Caleb Greenwood.  Thank you Matt!! 

More help will be needed.  Whether you are offering a weekend of scooping topsoil, or an on-going commitment, please express interest to Fields Coordinator James Christiansen (fields@riverparksoccer.org).
