Mr. Todd Hoffinan, Director Dale Gregory, Park Superintendent 1591 Park Road Chanhassen, MN. 5317 4/24/01 Dear Mr. Gregory, I'm glad that you have tennis courts for public use. I think that most of these courts are in good condition and fenced very well. However, there is one problem with the courts that I would like for you to deal with. In the past I have found it difficult to play when balls from other courts roll onto our court. To solve this problem I ask that you put up a small rod or bar in between courts to stop the balls from rolling into other courts. me comments.

During your tenure, the city grew by approximately I0,000 people, added 8-10 park sites, and built over ten miles of trail. You helped oversee the construction and management of the Chanhassen Recreation Center and Skate Park--facilities the community so greatly needed. You should be proud of the level of dedication you committed to this position. Jim, you were always them for the community and for that I cannot express enough gratitude. Serving just less than three full terms on the commission ranks you very high on the list of appointed and elected officials who have served the city. Your presence on the Commission came at a very important time in our history. With annual growth topping out at 1,000 people and land being developed at an alarming rate, you provided calm and concise recommendations. Jim, even under pressure you were able to analyze complicated data and produce sound decisions. Seated at the far end of the Commission bench, you served as our "anchor" for many years. Jim, I do not think there is any disputing that your greatest accomplishment was the success of the 1997 Park, Open Space and Trail special election. You committed two years to serve as one of the Commission's representatives on the task force! This commitment added dozens of additional evening meetings to your schedule - above and beyond your regular commission work. The benefits that resulted from the success of this important initiative are endless. Volunteering for this and other duties was second nature for you. I also wish to thank you for volunteering at dozens of city-sponsored events. Taking the time to do this meant a great deal to your fellow commissioners and our community. I will miss your presence on the commission, but look forward to seeing you around town!

I have enjoyed your company and marveled at the contributions you have made. Early on it was clear that Fred Berg was dignified and stood up for his community. Your strong presence on the Commission served as an inspiration for new recruits. Everyone appreciated your no nonsense approach to the community's business and we all are better off because of your dedication to service. Fred, your Park and Recreation Commission resume reads like a book-- historian, community advocate, tough negotiator, big heart, volunteer extraordinaire, master of ceremonies, and practical joker! Call it what you like; we all know what it means--Fred Berg gave a lot of himself to our town and for that I cannot express enough gratitude. During your tenure, the city grew by approximately 10,000 people, we added 8-i0 parks, and built over ten miles of trails. You helped oversee the construction and management of the Chanhassen Recreation Center, a facility the community so greatly needed. You made contributions to dozens of recreation programs and were instrumental in the construction of the skate park. Many wonderful amenities we all enjoy today have a part of you in them! Lastly Fred, thank you for your support of the 1997 Park, Open Space and Trail Referendum. This was an enormous undertaking that owes its roots to the Park and Recreation Commission. It will not be the same without you! I trust you will find another productive outlet to invest your energy. Good luck and best wishes. I will see you around town.

Board Business By Joe Scott, Letter From the President As parents, ",lob #1' is to develop our children into responsi- ble adults. We assist in many ways, one of which is acting as their "life coach and referee". How did we learn those skills? Probably by following our parents' example. How will our chil- dren learn those skills? By following our example. Contrary to what we may think, how we conduct ourselves at home and, especially, in public, is the major influence on our children's future conduct. In that context, let's take a moment to consider the example we set for our children on the sidelines at a soccer match. Just as we expect our children to follow our lead off the field, so we should also expect them to follow the lead of their coach and referees on the field. "An authority figure is an authority figure" and anytime we question a decision made by a coach or referee we, in our children's eyes, compromise our own authori- ty. "Do as I say, not as I do"just doesn't cut it. We have all read or heard of youth sports spectators verbally al)using and physically assaulting coaches, referees and each other other. Unfortunately, this has occurred at several recent CCSC matches. With this in mind you will be pleased to know that the MYSA has instituted a new sportsmanship program called OATHS ~Outstanding Ambassadors of Teams Honoring Sportsmanship). Our Ull and U12 girls and boys traveling teams will be partici- paring in this program. According to the MYSA, "recognition will be given for those teams who spend the extra effort to build positive experiences for their players, fans, referees and coaches". Here's how it works: each team will be provided with a pack~ et of postcards. Each postcard is filled out with identifying information by the coach and given to the center referee prior to each game. After the game, the referee rates the conduct of the players, coach and fans, then sends the postcard to the MYSA. At season's end, "the teams that have been recognized by game officials for their superior sportsmanship will be honored". We'll keep you posted on hoxv our Ull and U12 teams fare in this endeavor. Since the last newsletter your CCSC Board has: · Implemented the first-ever CCSC budget; · Changed from a calendar year to a fiscal year, ending 7/31, for more accurate financial reporting; · Greatly improved the registration process; · Retained the services of our Director of Coaching (through 7/31/02) and our Paid Administrator (through 7/31/01); · Voted to assist the Eden Prairie Soccer Club by allowing them to use our fields to meet increased demand for their annual tournament. This arrangement will yield approxi- mately $3,500 in net proceeds to the CCSC. Thank you for your support. If you have any questions or comments, please contact me via e-mail at ioes@scottassoc.com. See you on the pitch] 2 Referee News By Carol Brenton, Referee Coordinator Congratulations to the more than 40 individuals joining the ranks of newly certified referees within the Chan/Chaska Soccer Club. These folks attended a 1~ hour class and passed a referee exam consisting of 100 questions. With these additional individuals, we have more than doubled the number of referees from last year. Please welcome them as they assume their new responsibilities within the club. We are excited to have them.

Attendance will be mandatory for all referees wishing to work the traveling and recreation league games. ( Coaches Corner By Terry Leiendecker, Director of Coaching As the summer season begins for both the travelling and the 'n-House players I would like to share with all of you my notes from a meeting ! attended a few months ago. The speaker was Sports Psychologist Darrin Treasure at Arizona and a spokesperson for the USSF. The topic "Creating the optimal environment"-- THE ATH- LETIC TRIANGLE. The three points of this triangle consists of the player, parent, and the coach. All three are interrelated with the most important part of the triangle being the relation- ship between the parent and child. The relationship between the player and the coach is veW important and exists for the short time they are together. Understanding how each child needs to be taught and adapting as coaches is very important. A good positive relationship with the parent and coach in an open, non-threatening environment aids in the lowering of stress in the other relationship combinations (player- parent/player-coach). Tbe relationship within this triangle can enhance the experi- ence of the child tremendously. However, if the triangle is not functioning it can be of great stress to tbe child. The strength- ening of the triangle helps implement the objective of youth sports which is described as: 1. The development of character-- Leadership and discipline Creating discipline of playing fair, having respect for players, opponents, coaches, and referees. Allowing players responsibilities for their actions. 2. Social Activity: for both peet' and family relationship Should be reflective in practices, provide opportunity for the ~ players to interact with each other. This could bring family time together or it could be a disadvantage. Some players do not look forward to the ride home because typically the whole way hmne the player is being told they could have and should have done this and that. Instead the time together should be enjoyed with other good discussion. Nothing is more important than the parents relationship with their child. 3. Fun: the players are not miniature adults The top 5 reasons why players play, based on the survey in 1978 and 1992 by Seefeldtet, which proved that the reasons have not changed for 14 years -- 1) Fun; 2) To improve; 3t For thrill and excitement; 4) To be with a friend; and 51 To succeed or win. If the parent or the coach puts too much emphasis on #5 then everyone is missing the point. A correct balance is needed. Pm'cnial commitments that can add to a positive CXl)erit, nce ~Smith and Sm()11,1999}: 1. Can the parent share their daughter/son and allow the coach to be a parent for the short period of time. 2. Can the parents accept their child's disappointment. Parents have an unbelievable responsibility when the dis- appointment takes place. Parents have the ability to help their child improve. Adversity teaching is very valuable moment in which to make a defining moment and create a positive out of it. For example, Brianna Scurry never made the state ODP team as a youth, obviously this adversity drove her to strive harder for excellence verses giving up and blaming the system or others. 3. Can the parent show their child self control with refs/ other drivers, etc. 4. Can the child have the opportunity to make their own d~isions. 3 Communication is a two way street: Is there invitation for the parents to express their genuine concern with the assurance that they can be heard by the coach in a respectful nice tone? In order to ibster good communication between the coach and parent, one needs to provide a favorable environment to discuss any comments/issues. Typically moments immediately follow- ing a game as well as before a practice are not favorable. It is appropriate to set up meeting times after a practice or any other time during the week to discuss/resolve concerns. Finally one last word about player development. This season players and parents may have an issue with the placement of their child on the field. It has been communicated to the coach- es that a key part of player development is the ability of play- ers to play multiple positions ie, midfield/fullback-- forward/midfielder. All of these positions require learning the game and different skills. As a coach it is shortsightedness if we pigeon hole a player for only one position. A valuable player is one that fully develops the skills and knowledge from differ- ent locations on the field. FYI... the leading girls scorer for the state last year was recruited by Penn State and is to play fullback. And I know she is not complaining about not playing forward. Also the starting goalie for North Carolina was a field player in high school, hence total player development is neces- sary in improving one's skills Rec Corner By Scott Simonson, In-House Coordinator With the Recreation League fast approaching, our In-House coaches have received some formal training at the Eden Prairie Dome on April 14. It xvas a fantastic turnout with a total of 21 youth coaches and 26 adult coaches attending the sessions. They received instruction to enhance their knowledge of facili- tating practice sessions. The clinic was presented by Terry Leiendecker. The coaches learned bow to run their practices utilizing drills that enhanced the skill sets needed for developing our youth. Their enthusi- asm and eagerness to ]earn was exciting for me to observe. Notes... · An informational packet with rosters and the first two games are being mailed tbe week of May 7. If you do not receive one, please contact 763-493-0118, box 2. If you do receive a packet, but have questions, please contact the age group coor- dinator listed on your roster. · Coaches will be distributing uniforms and a full schedule on the first day of games. · Players should come to each game with shinguards, ball, proper shoes and water bottle. · We are still in need of help with our prograln.

The advocacy banquet, held on May 18th offered a special evening to honor not only the achievements of individual group members for the past year, but also to celebrate the success of the self- advocacy movement which has enabled many people with disabilities to make more choices about their own lives. Thanks to this movement some new County services even empower consumers to direct their own supports. A program called "Consumer Directed Community Supports" gives funding directly to clients who then make their own decisions about what kinds of support they need. WHCS helps prepare people with disabilities for these new, exciting challenges through skill instruction and support groups. This year we graduated ten more self- advocates from our LOMO (Living On My Own) class series. Graduates may then progress on to one of our empowerment groups where, working together with other self-advocates, they may continue to learn and grow in their abilities to have a life of theft- own choosing. Bowl-A-Thou The 2001 Bowl-A-Thou was a huge success! We had a total of 52 bowlers this year and many volunteers to help out! We greatly appreciated all of your support. Competition was tough this year to gain the position of the most amount of pledges raised. Carl :Johnson came in number one with Jim Lundquist following close behind! Without all of you bowling and raising pledges we would not be able to be successful. The money raised will be used to help with programming for the coming year. Thank you again to everyone who supported this event!
