Your tenure as a Park & Recreation Commissioner has come to an end. Something brought you to the commission back in March of 1990. Whatever your inspiration was, the city is a better place as a result of your contributions. Over the past six years, we have both lived through the joys and frustrations of conducting the business of a park and recreation department. Fortunately, many success stories have been written; enough it seems to temper all the lost opportunities. On Monday, April 8, 1996, the Chanhassen City Council would like to honor you and your contributions by presenting you with a Chanhassen Maple Leaf Award. This recognition is bestowed upon public servants who have dedicated more than five years of honorary service to the community. Mayor Chmiel will present the award on behalf of the city council and our residents. Jim, I look forward to your continued involvement in a variety of community organizations. I trust that your role as a champion of a variety of issues affecting our community will continue to live on. It has been a pleasure to work under your guidance. You will be missed.

Coaches are also parent volunteers (I coach two teams, Ron Galuska of Goldstar Mortgage coaches one team. He has two children playing on two teams). We have hired professional organizations to handle the following duties: 1. Graphic designer to screen print shirts - Jack Jensen of Chanhassen 2. An Attorney to file non-profit incorporation papers with state and legalize by-laws - Dan Tyson, Tyson and Bromander of St. Louis Park. 3. Minnesota Developmental Basketball (MDB) to give fundamentals instruction during summer (we volunteers are working, but this is like a basketball camp). 4. Minnesota Youth Athletic Services (MYAS)/AAU administers tournaments and insures all participants who are practicing or playing on registered teams. None of these organizations has an affiliation with Ballmeisters or any parent/volunteer who is a memer of Ballmeisters. Thank you all for guiding me througl~ t~.is process. I know it is not always easy for any of us, but we do appreciate that this all must be done correctly. It is in the best interests of the long term organizational health to do so and my hope is we will all proudly look back on a good thing and say "I helped start that!. Sincerely, Chris Polster President Ballmeisters, Inc, Chan/Chaska Soccer Club PO Box 735, Chanhassen, MN 55317 April 2, 1996 Chanhassen City Council Mr. Mayor and Councilmembers: The City of Chanhassen has had a long history of being a good friend to youth athletics. In parmership with the City, organizations like ours have been able to provide the youth of Chanhassen with quality athletic experiences and a solid foundation for the future. The City has taken the role of Facilitator and allowed the parents to operate the programs. This has been a "Win-Win" situation. Soccer is one of the fastest growing sports in the United States. Our Club has been growing at about 20% per year. Two years ago we created our Under 6 program with 1 kids. This year we expect to have almost 60. Soccer is growing faster than we can lind places to put fields. We are not alone in this problem. Baseball programs need more fields, basketball needs more gym space and even in Minnesota hockey needs more ice. The rate of growth of athletic facilities is much slower than the rate of growth of the City. The last soccer field built in Chanhassen was the one at Lake Ann Park. Since that field was built the soccer playing population has more than doubled. Two more fields are scheduled for Bandimere Park in 1999 or later. By then the youth soccer population may have doubled again. Without facilities, we will eventually have to place limits on thc number of young athletes that we can handle in our programs. Some youths will have to find other activities to fill their time. We must work together for the furore of our youth, who are our future. Sincerely, President Chanhasssen/Chaska Soccer Club The Organization The Chanhassen/Chaska Soccer Club (C/CSC) is a parent run nonprofit youth athletic organization which provides competitive traveling and recreational/instructional soccer programs for youth in eastern Carver County. The Club was started as a division of the Chanhassen Athletic Association (CAA) in the late ~)'70's and early 1980's. In the la~e 198~ ~, the Club split from the CAA to concentrate its efforts on traveling competitive soccer for youth. The CAA continues to offer recreational fall soccer programs. At the request of the parents of our players we have added a spring/summer recreational instructional program for the younger players and a fall traveling program. Several of our teams also participate in various indoor winter leagues. The Need for Playing Fields There is a known and desperate need to create established soccer playing fields for our youth. Take a look at what was used in 1995: Summer Programs, 418 girls and boys share 6 fields - 70 players per field Of the six fields only one, Lake Ann, is considered a regulation field in good condition, the other five fields are not regulation and in very poor playing condition. The 266 boys and girls who make up the competitive traveling teams have 3 fields, 88 players per field Fall Programs, 879 girls and boys played on 16 fields - 55 players per field The 10 additional fields used for the fall program are fields created over baseball diamonds behind City Hall and at Pioneer Field. They are not regulation and can be hazardous because of play on infield gravel. High School, Our varsity teams plays their games on the football field, a good use of resources, but a substandard field that is often torn up by the football games and practices. The field of play often is confusing because the football field lines conflict with soccer lines. They do not have a regulation field or regulation practice field. How do you calculate this player to field ratio? ~The following page compares us with other area and Lake conference communities~ SOCCER FIELDS,,,, Following is a comparison of the traveling team programs of other communities. These are the competitive teams similar to AAU in basketball and tournament teams in baseball. 1995 PLAYERS FIELDS PLAYERS/FIELDS 1. APPLE VALLEY 500 20 25 2. BURNSVILLE* 450 20 23 3.

These teams involve boys and girls of ages 6-19 years of age. The following shows the growth of the organized teams of soccer: Summer Programs, Includes the competitive traveling teams and the developmental in-house teams: 1989 ... 7 teams and 105 players 1994 ... 31 teams and 341 players 1995 ... 38 teams and 418 players (an increase of 23%) (Preliminary 1996 enrollment show over 500 participants) Fall Programs, Chanhassen and Chaska organize fall leagues and teams. The Park & Rec. are responsible in Chaska and the CAA is responsible in Chanhassen. This involves developmental training for boys and girls ages 5-12. Following is the growth pattern: 1994 1995 Chaska Soccer ... 348 419 Chanhassen Soccer ... 286 460 TOTALS 634 players 879 players (An increase of 38%) High School, Varsity soccer competes in the Lake Conference. At this time, the soccer program does not have a regulation playing field or practice field. The numbers in the high school programs are: Boys & Girls "B" squad, junior varsity and varsity teams, each team with 18 players or a total of 108 high school girls and boys. Other, The Minnetonka Assoc. has reported that over 400 Chanhassen boys and girls participate in their programs each year. Chanhasssen/Chaska Soccer Club Soccer, Baseball/Softball These two sports will always exist side-by-side in our communities and both require the use of large open areas. Both programs are extremely beneficial for the youth and adults of our communities° We all know how baseball games work and how many people are involved, please be aware of the workings of soccer. Soccer involves more players in a fast moving aerobic sport. Following is a breakdown of a typical summers night at a baseball field and a soccer field: Baseball Field - One game involving approximately 25 players over two hours 50 player hours (2 hours x 25players) Soccer Field - Two games, each involving 30 players over 90 minutes or a total of 60 players for three hours. 180 player hours We have provided you with comparative data only to show the inequalities on the youth who choose soccer as their sport of preference and not baseball or softball. There is no intent to take away from the baseball/softball program as their membership and needs are also great. ~The following page compares these two sports within our communitiesv~ Request for Action We ask for your help in creating short term and long range goals to provide the needed facilities for the residents Chanhassen. Currently Chanhassen offers one field by Lake Ann. We ask for: 4 new permanent regulation soccer fields to be established by the year 2000, or one per year, with the two regulation size soccer fields at Bandimere Park being worked on in 1996 and available for use in 1997. Summary The enclosed data is for your consideration. We are asking all of the involved communities to help us provide more permanent soccer fields for this growing sport. We are not trying to do this at the expense of the baseball/softball programs, but rather to ask for equal consideration. Soccer is a sport played year around. With the increased numbers and demand for soccer fields across the Metro area, cities are running out of available land to develop for recreational uses. We need to be providing for the present but also need to look ahead to the future needs of the community and look ahead to the future needs of the community and support outlets for healthy "asset" building with our youth. The need is painfully evident that our youth need soccer facilities. Soccer fields are needed not only to play soccer on, but to provide open space multiuse areas for our residents. Where they may run their dog, fly a kite or radio controlled plane, throw a frisbee, have a pickup game of football or just take a walk on a field of grass and occasionally kick a ball. Recreational Outdoor Space Used by Sports~ Soccer and Baseball/Softball fields are the primary users of outdoor recreational space. Currently 31 permanent Baseball/Softball fields and 3 permanent soccer fields are maintained.

In fact, many of the associa- tion's grade-schoolers spent the ' season keeping an eye on the Eden Prairie Eagles, the No. 1- rated Class AA high school bas- ketball team that lost in the quar- ':~terfinals of the state tournament Thursday. · But Bryan's entry into the league made many realize that there was something they hadn't noticed. The association had paid scant attention to federal laws re- garding access for the disabled. As in other cities and suburbs, most disabled children wanting to play sports in Eden Prairie .'have relied on special leagues or city recreation programs that are not nearly as competitive. That changed in Eden Prairie when Bryan, a third-grader, .showed up in November wanting to play. After months of confu- sion, city attorneys said earlier this month that the association had to pay for his interpreter be- cause the league played its games in public school gyms, making the league subject to government laws on access for the disabled. The attorneys advised all of Eden Prairie's sports associations -- soccer to baseball -- to adopt formal plans for accommodating handicapped players. -. 'They learn a lot more' · Gay Lewis, Bryan's mother, ~ said the season was worth it. "He played for a deaf team. He really needed to work on his skills .... I just feel they learn a lot more through.., the association here," ,,she said. Bryan attends a school :. for the deaf in St. Paul. .,:.~ Association , president Iohn ,. Focht said that when the issue · came up of who should pay for ; the interpreter -- about $1,000 · for the season -- "we really didn't knowwhat to do." i~ "The question you want to re- _ solve is not a Bryan Lewis issue. ~,:... The issues [are] what can we handle," said Focht, whose league is for second-graders to high school seniors. As Bryan sets his sights on summer and applies to Eden Prairie's youth baseball associa- tion, his story has highlighted just how far a nongovernmental asso- ciation has to open the door. In Bemidji last summer, Don- ald Tompkins, who uses a wheel- chair, was turned down when he applied to play in a youth base- ball league at the 9- and 10-year- old level. "Allowing the presence of a wheelchair on the playing field ... would be subjecting Donald and the other players to in- creased risk of injury," said the league's president, Bruce Etchison. Relatively few profoundly dis- abled children have tried to play competitive sports. Maplewood's nonprofit athlet- ic association allowed a boy born without thumbs to play youth baseball last year. "It was hard for him to hold onto the bat {and swing with] any power," said Jer- ry Harrigan, the association's president. Chanhassen's athletic associa- tion had a girl who is deaf play softball a few summers ago. And in Eagan, there was an all-deaf adult softball team among 220 teams in a city league last year. "When we had our managers' meeting, they didn't have an [in- terpreter],'' said Ken Vraa, Ea- gun's director of parks and rec- reation. "We had to bring in a signer.' Look beyond cost Ion Gurban of the Minnesota Recreation and Park Association said there are few Bryan Lewis cases in the state, partly because the percentage of disabled chil- dren is relatively low. But, he said, nonprofit groups must look beyond the cost. "We're trying to encourage people to meet their neighbors," Gurban said. "He may be blind. He may be deal ... His school may be somewhere else, but he Star Trbune Photo by Jerry Hott Bryan Lewis, wearing Jersey No. 12, plays In a recent Eden Prairie Boys Basketball Association game. He's the only deaf player In the 1,.1.00-mem- ber organization. lives in that community. Let him share in that community." That's an attitude that Sharon Poehlmann, a Minnetonka moth- er of two deaf daughters, said isn't always prevalent among par- ent-mn athletic associations. "It really has become very, very negative and very, very diffi- cult dealing with parent associa- tions,'' said Poehlmann, whose oldest daughter, 8-year-old Jenna, plays various sports. "Those assbciations have nobody to report to. They don't have to worry about losing their job." Bryan's highlights Bryan Lewis' assimilation in Eden Prairie has had many high- lights. After his team played its final game last week, he stood excitedly with his teammates as assistant coach Tom Brussell awarded each player a trophy. Bryan's father, left, talked be- fore the game of his son's season. "The coaches have been great," he said. "The association has been great." Bmssell said the transition was awkward at times. "You're used to just yelling things to the kids. You had to realize he wasn't pick- ing up on things," he said. To compensate, the team's point guard would signal plays by holding up fingers. To set a screen, teammates were told to clap their hands together. And before each game, the referees were told that Bryan was deaf. But the fact remains that Bry- an is playing a fast-paced game that demands on-the-fly strategy and communication. At one point, Bryan was unaware when a referee blew his whistle, stopping play, to call a foul. As parents and players watched uneasily, Bryan proceeded to steal the ball and continue playing. As speculation arises over whether Bryan is good enough to make a traveling team -- mean- ing more games and practices -- there is concern about whether the stepped-up competition will more noticeably expose his lack of hearing. Traveling teams are typically made up of the league's best players and play against sim- ilar teams from other cities. Bryan's best moment in the game may have occurred early in the third quarter when he was matched against No. 15, the op- posing team's tallest player. In one 'sequence, No. 15 drove against Bryan, shot and missed, got the rebound, shot and missed again. But Bryan got the rebound and started his team up the floor. In a glimpse of things to come, Bryan's 7-year-old brother, Ben, also deaf since birth, is talking of joining the association.

Suddenly, everything stopped: The children froze as the other team's coach began yelling. The ref called a time-out and the kids sat down meekly. "The coach was yelling, shaking his fin- ger in the ref's face; Magee recalls. 'The kids didn't know what to do. My daugh- ters, Kat)', 2t/2, and Kiley, 15 months old, ran to me and hid their faces in my lap. The crowd was silent. It was awful.' The frenzied coach was screaming obscenities. 'I know where you live,' he bellowed at the ref, slam- sports ming a gate into one spec- tator as he stormed off. The incident lasted five minutes. But for Brian, the damage lingered. 'He asked me about it constantl);' Ma- gee says. 'He was so scared. Even Katy kept as-king m.e if the bad man was coming back.' Brian, now 8, gave his soccer ball to his sisters. He has not played since. Brian is hardly alone. After witnessing a coach, parent, or referee lose con- trol, many kids just quit sports: The National Al- liance for Youth Sports (NAYS) says 70 percent of kids in organized sports drop out by age 13. While there's no way to judge how man), drop out be- cause of gonzo coaching, experts believe the number is high: 'We've created an atmosphere of profession- al sports for children; sa)~ Fred Engh, president of NAYS, a group he founded in 1981 to help educate vol- unteer coach- es. 'How can someone 7 )'ears old be a loser?' Children need to see adults act like adults 'Kids count on us to know the rules. We encourage them to trust grown-ups, not just for games but for how to behave in Ere,' says Thomas Tutko, Ph.D., a sports psychologist. 'So when they see an adult act out, it terri- fies them--they are without stability. It's as if the ground they are standing on can't be trusted,' Sometimes the con- sequence of witnessing an adult tantrum is far graver than simply souring a child on sports. Travis Mat- thews, in Harker Heights, Texas, passionately played Little League until age 11. Then two coaches changed 49 that. Over the season, the duo frequently insulted and berated some kids. One day one of the coaches lost con- trol, dragging one of Travis's teammates out of the dug- out by the throat. Travis gave a police statement, and his fear of retal/at/on was so great that he couldn't sleep. Ultimately, he needed hospi- talization, then home tutor- ing for slx months. The diag- nosis: post-traumatic stress disorder. His therapy, which included marking up his team jersey to help him vent his anger, lasted a year. Preadolescents are on the verge of recognizing how scary the world can be, his therapists told the family. So "trauma from witnessing child abuse is very com- mon,' says Lauretta Lewis- Matthews, his mother. A judge found the coach guilty of assault. Travis, though, has yet to play ball again. Despite such horror stories, parents are of- ten reluctant to question coaches, experts say. Most are keenly aware of how much time coaching takes and how few volunteers there are. About 20 million kids under 16 play out-of-school sports, reports NAYS. They rely on 1.6 million coach- es, virtually all volunteers. "You wouldn't let your child go to a school with un- trained teachers--why let them spend several intense hours each week with an untrained coach?' asks Beth Campbell, a T-ball coach in Bellevue, Washington.

But they're picked':.~ , your ma up, . inmind that~ Babe Ruth Base- (; 'Si~orti'~61Unteer: 7Coach Of the, experiences are positive. And there are a number of steps you can take. First, think hard about the sport. Among children be- tween the ages of 7 and 11, basketball is the most pop- ular sport, with 5.6 million children participating an- nually, estimates the Nation- al Sporting Goods Associ- ation, followed by soccer, with 5.5 million, and base- ball, with 5.1 million. An additional 3.3 million play softball, and 3 million play football. While none of these sports holds a monopoly on badly behaved adults, some experts--even Red Murff, a professional baseball scout and author of The Scout (Word Publishing)--say baseball is more prone to coaching tantrums. "Some child is going to make the last out," says Murff. Soccer, though it certainly has its problems, offers some ad- vantages. "You don't stand out if you're terrible,' says Jim McSherry, a coach in the New York area. "Everybody can kick a bail.' Next, make sure the league has a person you can con- tact if you see out-of-line behavior. And ask that the league join the National As- sociation of Youth Leagues (1-800-729-2057), which trains coaches. (Member- ship costs leagues $100; training sessions cost $15.) Next, find out about the skills of the coach. Does he know basic first aid? Does he understand the capacity of kids in the age group he's coaching? (Un- til age 11, for instance, most kids can't fully grasp abstrao tions like "offense" and "defense.") Will he play each child? Once your child is on a team, experts offer these guidelines. Don't ask, "Who won?" Make sure your conversa- tions center on behavior. Your child is supposed to be learning to be a good sport. Emphasizing that, experts say, inoculates her against outbursts. "Bad calls are a part of the game, says Tutko. "Once your child accepts that, she can under- stand why a coach's tantrum is so out of line.' Praise your child's efforts. "Only discuss positive things you see," Murff says. "Kids under 10 want 3'our love, not tips on what they could have done to catch that grounder.' Go to bat for your child. [f an upsetting incident occurs, speak to the coach. If that doesn't work, ask a league official to speak to him-- and let your child know. "You've shown your child that you care about his wel- fare more than anything else,~ Murff says. Let her quit. "Many people enroll their kids in sports so they won't be quittersf says Tutko. 'But if your child is still frightened, don't force it; otherwise, in your child's .eyes, you be- come an ogre too.' Don't let the jerks turn your child~or you~off. "Sports give kids the chance to learn discipline," Murffsays. 'They learn the physical discipline-- that you have to keep prac- ticing if you want to get bet- ter. And they learn the men- tal discipline~that you have to follow the rules of the game. As long as your child knows that winning is far down on the list of what's important, sports teach him about playing fair while having fun.'
