Competitive Youth Soccer Clubs (4/28)
To: Competitive Youth Soccer Clubs From: Director of Coaching and Representatives Group
The Directors of Coaching (DOC) from the Premier Clubs in the Portland Metro area began meeting in December 2006 and have continued meeting at least one time per month up to the present. The purpose of the original meeting was to share visions and to discuss problems common to premier clubs that were not being addressed by the state association. The original clubs represented were: Lake Oswego, Westside Metro, Eastside, FC Portland, Southside, Portland City United, Oregon Soccer Academy, and Tualatin Hills United. Clubs that have been added the past year are Rogue Valley, Eugene Metro, Bend United, Oregon Rush and Willamette United. All meetings have been in an open forum format with a prepared agenda. The premise of each DOC group meetings was to discuss and offer changes to the state association in the interest of the competitive player.
