Directors’ Message Director of Travel – Bill Gardner Director of Coaching – Nick Harrison The Fall Season has successfully concluded, so it is time to reflect on the significant changes in 2012 and planned improvements for 2013.

The introduction of the Player Development Model and appointment of Nick Harrison as our Director of Coaching are the most notable changes. That said, we also made important changes in the introduction of TDA Plus, an augmented Skills Night program including an extra hour of organized pick-up games, the introduction of the College training series run by College coaches, and the introduction of Community nights at Rider and Princeton Universities. Plus, we launched the Mercer FC Summer Select and Yearround teams, with one team reaching the NJ State Cup quarterfinals in its first year. 2013 expects to bring further improvements to the program including improved Club and Team Communications and Parent Education Series, additional Skills programs, trainer coordination across teams, and expansion of the College training series for Boys and Girls. We appreciate your continued participation in WWPSA Travel.
