Hello KSYSA!

I hope to meet all of you personally in the coming weeks and months but for those of you who are unaware, my name is Joel Dragan and I am the new Executive Director for Kansas State Youth Soccer Association. I am sincerely looking forward to the opportunity to join this great organization. I have a huge passion for the sport of soccer and I’m positive this will be evident in my relationships and work at KSYSA.

Personally, I have spent the last 9 years at Michigan State Youth Soccer Association. I have an intense knowledge of youth soccer, specifically in the Midwest Region. My background has had a specialization in risk management, budgeting and member support/services.

I am also currently the Chair for the Midwest Regional Soccer Across America Committee. On this committee, we strive to bring the game of soccer to all kids particularly those in underserved and disadvantaged areas. I will use my experience in this role to spread our sport throughout Kansas.

In the immediate future, my focus shall be on three primary goals:

- Develop and implement a strategic plan with the Board of Directors to determine the long-term goals of the organization. - Expand the membership of KSYSA (particularly in the outlying areas). - Meet with our current members and identify their needs and relationship with KSYSA.

With this in mind, I would like to extend an open invitation to all of you to contact me anytime to discuss your organization or these immediate goals.

This is an exciting and important time for soccer in the United States. We will be selecting a new president of the US Soccer Federation later this month. Our recent history at the highest international level has not been acceptable and our selection for President will determine our new path to success.

Finally, I would like to genuinely thank Chris Duke for his tenure as the Executive Director of KSYSA. Chris has left the association in great standing on a regional and national level. I know I am stepping into a terrific situation that Chris has fostered.

Yours in soccer,

Joel P. Dragan Treasurer's Report Gary Mitchell

During my third year as Treasurer, we have continued enforcing “controls” to reduce any risk of fraudulent activities for KSYSA. These “controls” include the following: • Check writing, Online Banking Transfers, and Signature control • Restricting employee access to payroll, and using a third-party payroll vendor • Mandating background checks on all individuals and contractors providing services to KSYSA • Monthly reviews and reconciliations • Utilizing third-party bookkeeping services • Restricting employed staff members from making changes to KSYSA Accounting information • Obtaining banking and investment statements directly from the financial institutions • Providing detail reports and reconciliations to the Executive Board Members

During 2017, the Board of Directors dissolved the Kansas State Youth Soccer Foundation, and transferred the approximately $130,000 back into KSYSA’s possession. Meetings were held by the KSYSA Board of Directors, and discussions are continuing to be held with regard to the future of the usage of these funds.

KSYSA is in a very good financial position, ending the fiscal year with over $800,000 in total assets, which includes the $130,000 of funds transferred from the Foundation. Director of Coaching Nathan Hunt

Risk Management Report Chris Campbell

Risk Management Comments:

Anyone paying attention to the horrific narrative emerging from the sentencing hearing of convicted sexual abuser Larry Nassar in East Lansing, Michigan during the last few weeks can begin to comprehend the potential impact on our respective organizations if we allow our focus on protecting our membership to become complacent. Far more importantly, the economic impact on our organizations would immeasurably pale compared to the personal, life-long catastrophic cost victims pay.

Collectively, we have made strides advancing our abilities to offer reasonable protections to the participants playing soccer through Kansas State Youth Soccer Association (KSYSA). You, the club members, play a significant role since our program does not begin to function without consistent involvement at the grass-roots level.

We can do better.

It is almost an automatic, defensive reaction to tell one’s self that Larry Nassar’s abuses couldn’t possibly happen “here”. Unfortunately, “here” has happened in far too many locations, which is why Risk Management is the one topic where a youth organization cannot afford complacency.

One way to avoid complacency is to instill Risk Management as an engrained piece of your club’s culture, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. No one, regardless of ability, influence, position, or reputation, can volunteer and/or hold any position that may work with or influence our playing members, or have access to their personal information, without having submitted a KSYSA disclosure report. It seems simple, and yet remains one of the more challenging pieces club leaders and managers face as this requirement is consistently pushed down to every team within your club. Years-long friendships and long-time acquaintances of the family are not excuses for the lack of a completed background check.

With that in mind, KSYSA will be reviewing and revising its policies throughout 2018. Given recent actions by the US House and Senate regarding Senate bill S.534, titled “Protecting Young Victims from Sexual Abuse and Safe Sport Authorization Act”, it is likely that KSYSA and all other state organizations may be affected in some manner if and when it is signed into law.

We would certainly welcome any thoughts you may have, and please feel free to share them at [email protected]. District I Commissioner Report

District I Commissioner’s Report – Johnny Duker and (Alternate District I Commissioner, Sharon L. Stolte)

2017 was a tremendous year for district 1 players, parents, coaches and volunteers. Our membership in the district continues to grow. Our coaches with the support of the state continue to get the education to improve players’ ability. District has worked with the leagues and referees to help foster a more positive experience during games for everyone involved. Heartland Soccer Association continues to support the growth and good of the game. The referee development academy has been valuable in teaching young and old referees who have the desire to grow. This offering is an “invitation” only offering at this time, and is being used to accelerate Referee performance and develop future Mentors.

Our KPSL/Heartland league is the largest league in the country (both spring and fall) with over 1500+ teams in each. The league provides great competition for our players. Wyandotte County fields have been open to add another venue on which our players compete, providing the best surfaces in the country.

Coaching licenses for E, F and National “D” were held in our district, with great attendance from other districts and other state associations. Nathan Hunt needs to be commendedState Cup Champions: and applauded for all his efforts.

Tournaments in the district continue to grow, attracting top teams from all regions. Heartland, GSI and Challenger Sports events are well attending and provide multiple levels of play to support our members. We would like to see a better showing of college coaches and referees at the college showcase events.

The district would like to thank Chris Duke for all his hard work and dedication to all our members and state. We wish Chris the best of luck on his new role as U.S Youth Soccer Midwest Region II General Manager. The district held interviews to replace Chris as Executive Director. Process was led by VP Vic Boyd who did a tremendous job with the help of many DOC’s, board member from various districts and SKC manager Peter Vermes.

Thank you for all the support in 2017 as we continue to make our state the soccer capital of the world. We look forward to a great 2018. District II Commissioners Report

AGM District II (Serving South Central Kansas including Wichita/McPherson/Hutchinson)

League numbers – SCSA

Fall 2017 1480 games scheduled for 371 teams (159 girls & 210 boys) total number of players: 4000 based on average roster size per division. This is an increase from the previous year in total players of about 14%. Growth came from second generation players with parents who played at SCSA and overall increase in soccer in community and heavy growth from the 8U and under age groups. 16 Clubs with more than 4 teams - Augusta, FCKC, Azzurri, Jaguar, Kansas Rush, Newton United, Sporting Wichita, Wichita Legends, Wichita United, WKS Eagles, Azteca, Atlas, Cholita Strikers, Derby AREAUnited, TOURNAMENT FC Premiera, Wichita NUMBERS: Warriors

Mid America Cup at SCSA - Mid America Cup tournament in 6th year, growing each year with 120 competitive teams in 2017. Net proceeds are put back into paving the parking lot. We are in 3rd year of a 10 year project and plan to pave the next 1/3 in 2018. 2018 sponsor is Dick’s Sporting Goods. Created smaller sponsorships (Coaches, Teams, Families & Fans, Referees) to encourage additional sponsors and allow changes without financial impact if not renewed.

Hutchison Club Azzurri Mason Wedel in Hutchinson Kansas (fall tourney) had 50 total teams with 26 boys and 24 girls teams. The Fall had 60 total teams with 34 boys and 26 girls teams. This tournaments popularity has dwindled over the past five years as more and more teams are opting for GeneralKansas City information: or other destinations. This tournament is also sanctioned by Wichita’s SCSA.

SCSA celebrated their 26th year in the Wichita community since 1991.

Last year was the first year that the Director of Officials were working on the mentor program with the State for all ages of referees to help in retention and individual growth. This past year Referee mentoring program in beginning phases with new Director of Officials, Rey Rameriz, and Referee Development, Brian Bauer. This has been seen as a positive step in the soccer community and has helped mentor and retain some of our youth referees. Has been received very positively and has had good results. Overall Consensus of Soccer in the Wichita Community:

Soccer is strong in the Wichita community. We have continued to see a lot of growth in the competitive field. Clubs have merged and or changed but overall we have seen growth and positive changes with most. We have also had challenges as most in the soccer community in regard to parents or sideline issues. There have been incidents of referee abuse – verbally or physical and it seems like these issues continue to escalate. I have personally spoken with the Executive Director of Kansas Youth Soccer, Referee Officials and Mentors, coaches, Club Directors and parents and all agree that something needs to be done to control the incidents of Strykerabuse. This Soccer is something Complex that Upgrade we need Project: to get under control in 2018.

Stryker Soccer Complex is currently undergoing a massive rebuilding project. In 2017 Wichita approved rebuilding the complex and the funding of it through star bonds. The project currently will cost about $22 million and will also use sales taxes from and around the complex to pay back the money. Once the project is complete there will be 10 outdoor turf fields and a championship stadium. The new complex will also have an indoor facility by the end of this year, while the turf fields could be ready by late this summer (2018). This will allow the city, and more importantly local clubs to host larger tournaments on state of the art fields and facilities. District III Commissioner Report

District III was active during the past year with little drama but lots of positive changes. Restructuring has led to expanded opportunities for the regional soccer community.

Sporting Kaw Valley continued existing programs and launched several exciting new initiatives: 1) SKV merged with the Salina Soccer Club 2) SKV started an 8v8 Adult league in Lawrence that includes teams from Lawrence & Topeka 3) SKV is currently operating an internal I70 Academy league that hosts and plays games in Lawrence, Topeka, Manhattan and Salina 4) Recently announcement a formal partnership with Kansas Wesleyan University men's and women's soccer programs. 5) SKV started a PDL team (Kaw Valley FC) that will play games in Lawrence and Topeka beginning this summer. The team has recently been named as the Developmental Partner to Sporting KC.

Sunflower Soccer Association was energized when Andrew Fletcher became the new executive director last year. New ideas are already producing growth in terms of player numbers and programs. Topeka Select will go through a transition with the upcoming retirement of long time leader Jerry Stamm. FC Majestic continues to provide the Topeka community with a stable option.

Little Apple and Flint Hills merged and then affiliated with Puma FC to become Puma Manhattan. The new group produced several teams that had strong showings in the fall season. Jambars FC continued to grow and elevate players using a unique training model. Plans for a club complex are being worked on. State Youth Referee Administrator Andrew Fletcher

KANSAS REFEREE PROGRAM Andrew Fletcher - State Youth Referee Administrator [email protected] 816-820-1703 1. Overview:

At the present time we have just under 2300 certified referees, of which just over 1200 are under the age of 16. In 2017 we registered 799 new officials and so our turnover rate remains at approximately 30% which is comparable to other Midwest Region states.

2. Education and mentoring:

Significant resources continue to be put towards education and then mentoring in an effort to improve the overall quality of our new referees and increase our retention percentage. Peer mentoring programs have been established with Heartland Soccer Association, Sunflower Soccer Association (Topeka), Leavenworth Soccer Association and Sedgwick County Soccer Association (Wichita).

Notes: ● 548 mentor reports were submitted in the Fall season ● Over 600 referees were mentored at least once in the Fall season ● There were over 600 hours of peer mentoring completed in the Fall season

We look forward to continuing to improve this program with the assistance of the state.

3. Referee needs:

The Referee Committee continues to request local clubs and associations encourage their players and parents to certify as referees, and to continue to help monitor the behaviour of players and parents at all games. Kansas State Youth Soccer Association Annual General Meeting
