Making Our Soccer Club The Best It Can Be! ASC Continues Surveying Parents and Players in 2007 Once again this year, ASC will survey club members in July to determine in what areas we’re succeeding and where we need to improve. We want to thank you in advance for your input and time in completing these surveys, as it will help ASC become an organization we’ll all be pleased to be a part of. Please look for more information regarding the surveying process, coming your way in July.
Passback Program Thank you to all who donated used soccer apparel and equipment during the Flatgrass Showdown tournament and the Nutmeg Recreational tournament. We will also be collecting during the Cost Cutters tournament. Please bring your used soccer equipment that no longer fits you, and ASC will “pass it back” to families who need it. A collection site will be set-up near the tournament registration tent. Be a part of this effort that is helping to bring soccer to anyone who wants to play! Jeff Burton ASC Equipment Director
