Annual General Meeting FEBRUARY 27, 2022

Report of the Chief Executive Officer Chris Branscome

2021 provided challenges, but was more certainly a step towards normalcy from the previous year. We gained experience that we never intended to, but 2020 provided us with a better ability to navigate the challenges of 2021.

One of my hopes for 21-22 was to see us all return to full strength. We ended 20-12 year with over 100,000 registered players, roughly 20,000 short of recent non-covid years. The pandemic is still hurting many families and a number of clubs. A full and complete return to full strength has not yet happened. Travel numbers are near normal but recreation and intramurals have not bounced back.

There are positive signs that we are rebounding strongly. The resilience of our kids, our coaches, administrators and the overall community has been impressive, if not inspiring. Player registration as of February 1, 2022 has already cleared 100,000 players. Our ODP numbers are as strong as ever and the number of teams entering the 2022 Cups is on target with a “normal” year.

We’re still experiencing a shortage of referees. More classes were added this past fall and over the winter. Clubs, leagues and other partners are coming forward to support the recruitment and training of a new generation of referees. We need to continue on this path and grow our corps of officials. In addition, we need to continue to change our behavior towards them, and each other. We established the task force on Sideline Behavior last year and they have been diligently working towards providing resources and solutions. This is being done together with the referee community and with the coaching community. We must be better examples to the players and to the parents. The interactions of coaches and referees need to be more respectful and professional. It will lead to a better experience for all.

Financially, we fared well although much of our programming was still at reduced levels. Coaching education was mostly online; the indoor cups were cancelled; resident camp was cancelled and of course registration was down 17 %. Supply chain issues and inflation has at times made things more difficult, and also more expensive. We are all experiencing this and we must prepare for the continuing rise in expenses.

The major news we’re all waiting for is the announcement of the host cities for World Cup 2026. We had an incredibly successful visit with FIFA in September. By all accounts, we exceeded expectations. Thank you to all of the supporters who lined the streets that day and everyone who has attended the many other events that were held over the summer. We’re near the finish line and expect the announcement later this spring.

Lastly, this is the 50th anniversary of the founding of this association. What started in 1972 with charter members Inter-County, Delco and United Juniors and nearly 5000 players has grown in to the sixth largest state association in the country and has consistently been among the best in developing players, coaches and referees. Eastern Pennsylvania has proudly hosted some of the most significant soccer events and games of the past fifty years. We’ve also provided the country with some of the great leaders and visionaries of our sport. I’m proud that we are all here today as part of this great heritage. The challenge ahead of us is to grow the game in new directions and lift our community towards greater achievements. Let’s keep pushing forward to bring the game to every, and any child who wants to play. Let’s continue to remove barriers and create opportunity for all.

On behalf of all of our players, coaches and families, thank you for your continued efforts and support of them and our great game.

Annual General Meeting FEBRUARY 27, 2022

Report of the Treasurer Jim Brown

FY ending 8/31/2021

I am very pleased to report that the financial position of the Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association remains secure and strong. Despite the continuing challenges and disruptions of the worldwide pandemic, Chief Executive Officer Chris Bransome and Chief Operating Officer Kelly Connor continue to do a commendable job of managing the Association’s finances.

Balance Sheet

Total assets are almost $4M coming in at $3,992,855. The majority of those assets is in investment funds that are managed by Mark A. Vergenes of Mirus Financial Partners. The balance of invested assets at year’s end was $3.7m, an increase of approximately $536,000 from the previous year. Investments are targeted to allow for supporting capital projects and grants as well as for strengthening the association’s reserves and stability. The investment mix includes growth assets (equities), income assets (bonds) and other Income opportunities (cash, real estate-REITs) Liabilities total $271,270, including $132,500 from the second payroll protection program (PPP) from the federal government.

While technically a loan, these funds soon will convert from a liability to revenue on the asset side of the ledger since rules and guidelines for use of the funds were fully followed by the Association. The first PPP loan of $152,430 was forgiven fully.

Net Equity - Assets minus liabilities = slightly over $3.7m

Income Statement

Income from operations was $2.3m up from $2.1m in the prior year. Other Income from the first PPP loan forgiveness ($152,430), a Covid relief grant ($10,000), interest ($133,804) and the opening fund balance ($22,203) resulted in Total Income of $2.629m.

Total Expenses were $2.367m including staff compensation, benefits, payroll taxes, insurance, grants, scholarships, office supplies, office rent and utilities, uniforms, USYSA and US Soccer fees and other operating expenses.

Net Income - $2.629 minus $2.367 = $262,000

Annual General Meeting FEBRUARY 27, 2022

Report of State Youth Referee Administrator Jeff Tener

I typically cover to a few areas related to the referee program each year, but for the 2021 AGM update, I’d like to focus on one key area.

While many challenges continued in 2021, we are making good progress in terms of overall recruitment and training. Our number 1 challenge was lack of referees. The Lack of referees has hit all the other States in the U.S. at all levels, from youth to adults, recreational to professional. Soccer is not exclusive in this area, the same impacts are happening in baseball, football and other sports. Entering 2021 we had just over 1,700 referees. Historically we would have over 3,200. Working throughout the year, we ended at 2,600. We achieved this in a few ways: •

We trained and certified more Referee Instructors to teach more classes

•

For returning referees we made the system easier for their annual license. It’s now online. The online modules included the new Laws of the Game and focused on common issues like offside and handball.

•

We ran numerous (57) new referee courses throughout the Eastern Pennsylvania

•

We also offered online clinics for anyone who may have been a referee in the past or cross over with High School or College

•

We added more referee Assignors hosting 2 new referee Assignor classes, recertifying current Assignors and added new Assignors

All the above will be continuing this year, along with some new approaches and strategies being developed.

Looking ahead, we need to leverage the resources and programs in EPYS while taking the advantage of potential synergies. To give an example the coaching training staff developed a training newsletter reviewing coaching strategies and tactics. While the referee population are certified each year on the Laws, they don’t get overall coaching trends. Creating that knowledge base referees it allows the referee to better anticipate play and how to be in a better position to not interfere with play. This lets them be in the best position to observe active play. We are also on looking to create better partnerships between coaches and referees.

When we build common understanding and trust we can then make the game more enjoyable for all. This will also create a unified front for dealing with issues like poor sideline behavior. Poor sideline behavior negatively impacts our retention of newer referees and players enjoyment of the game.

We recognize this was a challenge year and suspect your Club experienced some sort of referee shortages. With our limited referee pool and Fall Season’s surge of return to play games back to 2019 numbers, we were pressed to make all the assignments. Your support has been greatly appreciated. Please feel free to connect me directly with any questions or ideas you may have related to the referee program.

Respectfully Submitted, Jeff Tener State Youth Referee Administrator Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer

Annual General Meeting FEBRUARY 27, 2022

How it Will change (changes in bold or strike out): a. Officers of the Association shall be the President, First Vice President, Second Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, two At Large Members, and Immediate Past President. shall comprise the Executive Committee.

The President, Second Vice President and Treasurer shall be elected for a two year period in odd numbered years by the Council. The First Vice President, Secretary and the two At Large Members shall be elected in even numbered years.

The State Youth referee Administrator will be appointed as a voting member to the Board of Directors by the President with the approval of the Board of Directors. b. The elected officer’s shall assume their duties the day following their election. c. In order to be eligible for the position of President of this Association, a candidate must have been a member of the Board of Directors. d. Any person must attain a majority vote of the votes cast of the Council in order to be elected as an officer of this Association. e. When a District Commissioner is elected to the Executive Committee to an Officer position, thereby relinquishing their original status, the district they represent shall elect be elected a replacement in accordance with Article X, Section 6 in this Constitution. f. An officer of this Association shall not also be a District Commissioner. g. An Officer of this Association shall not also be an officer of any member organization.

Rationale: Good business governance should seek to avoid, wherever possible, conflicts of interest. By simply codifying that the member of the Board shall not also serve as an officer or director of any member organization removes potential conflict of interest in voting as well as arbitrations and discipline.

Similarly the State Youth Referee Administrator is moving to an in house operational staff position in order to better serve the membership. The SYRA will report directly to the Chief Executive Officer. Over the past few years, as more duties have moved from a volunteer role (i.e. Registrar) to an operational role the Board of Directors has been amended to reflect these changes.

As with the Registrar position the Board kept a spot as an At-Large Member to allow for broad representation, so to the move of the SYRA toward an in house operational position will allow for a second At Large position to be filled by the membership.

The current SYRA term runs through December 31, 2022. The incumbent will remain as a Board member until the end of that term. The board position will sit vacant until the new Member At-Large will be elected at the AGM in February of 2023.
