29 WISCONSIN SOCCER ASSOCIATION Annual Hall of Fame Banquet 1914-2011 April 2, 2011 American Serb Hall 2010 Hall of Fame Inductees Hall of Fame Website: www.wisconsinsoccer.org Dear Friends of Wisconsin Soccer: Welcome to the 29th Annual Wisconsin Soccer Association Hall of Fame Banquet. Through the hard work and planning of the Hall of Fame committee, this occasion has become a cher- ished yearly event where the Wisconsin soccer community can come together as one to honor our past, celebrate our present and strengthen our resolve for the future. This year also marks the 97th anniversary of the Wisconsin Soccer Association, established in 1914. Please join me in congratulating the newest inductees, a proud addition to the already distin- guished list of WSA Hall of Fame members. The Hall of Fame committee is openly seeking nominations for future classes. Application forms are available in this program booklet, so please take this opportunity to begin the nomination process for the next class of inductees. I also want to thank the Hall of Fame committee members for their hard work and dedication throughout the year. They have selected a very deserving class of inductees and organized another outstanding banquet. This evening we will also recognize individuals and clubs with outstanding achievements and contributions to the WSA from the State Referee Committee, the Wisconsin Youth Soccer As- sociation and the Wisconsin Adult Soccer Association. Awards will be presented to youth, the coach of the year, along with Meritorious Awards to individuals in recognition for decades of service with the Wisconsin Soccer Association. The WSA is a family with four divisions: Adults, Coaches, Referees and Youths. I want to call your attention to several of the wonderful programs offered within the WSA family like TOPSoccer for children with disabilities, competitive leagues for adult men and women in the WASA that offer opportunities for players after both high school and college, and the Olympic Development Program (ODP) for boys and girls at the top of their youth club play. The as- sociation also offers coaching and referee clinics at various levels, several times each year. Volunteers are the foundation of the Wisconsin Soccer Association and will fuel the future growth of soccer in Wisconsin. Many mothers and fathers get involved as coaches or manag- ers when their children begin playing soccer, and then continue to give back to the sport as they move on into the role of club or league administrator. Many soccer players also become coaches or referees. If you want more information about volunteer opportunities within the Wisconsin Soccer Association, please call 414-545-7227. Finally, I would like to thank all of you for your efforts to support and advance the sport of soc- cer in Wisconsin, and for your continued support of the WSA and our Hall of Fame.

    "We Are the Kickers!" the Milwaukee

    WE ARE THE KICKERS! The Milwaukee Kickers Story Chapter 1: “Realizing a Dream” The Wisconsin Soccer Association began a youth soccer program in 1962 with the Milwaukee County Parks & Recreation Department, which, by 1968, had become the third largest participation sport in the park system. In 1970, it moved up to second largest. Because the league program was basically ethnic-oriented, it became evident in 1968 to several people deeply involved in Milwaukee area soccer clubs that a new club needed to be formed to accommodate the growing number of American kids enjoying the game. Recognizing the lack of opportunity for the American player in an almost totally ethnic controlled sport, the 12 initiators wanted to develop the sport in a unique way to become a “traditional American” sport: to give everyone a place and a chance to play, boys and girls alike; to provide good coaching and stable administration; and, most importantly, to develop FAMILY INVOLVEMENT, which, in turn, would provide a strong volunteer base from which to operate the club. After much soul searching, these people left their respective clubs and founded the Milwaukee Kickers in November, 1968. Using the slogan, “American Soccer is Our Goal”, and choosing red and gray as club colors, the twelve Founders were: Carol and Lorenzo Draghicchio, Lew and Louise Dray, Dorothy and Frank Kral, Aleks and Helga Nikolic, Irene and Milan Nikolic, Elfriede and Sirous Samy . The fledgling club operated literally on a shoestring, relying almost entirely on car washes, rummage sales, newspaper drives and merchandise sales to finance the operation. The first adult squads competed in January, 1969, in the Indoor Season of the WSA at the Milwaukee Auditorium.

  • About the Wisconsin Policy Forum

    About the Wisconsin Policy Forum

    About the Wisconsin Policy Forum The Wisconsin Policy Forum was created on January 1, 2018, by the merger of the Milwaukee-based Public Policy Forum and the Madison-based Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance. Throughout their lengthy histories, both organizations engaged in nonpartisan, independent research and civic education on fiscal and policy issues affecting state and local governments and school districts in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Policy Forum is committed to those same activities and to that spirit of nonpartisanship. Preface and Acknowledgments This report was undertaken to paint a clearer picture of the youth sports landscape in the city of Milwaukee: what options are available to kids and their families, what are the characteristics of these programs and how are they supported financially, and what are some of the primary challenges facing the city’s youth sports organizations. We hope that this research will help guide youth sports leaders, funders, and policymakers. Report authors would like to thank the representatives of youth sports organizations who shared information by responding to our survey, as well as key informants who provided additional insight. In addition, we are grateful to members of the advisory committee convened to guide this report for generously providing their time and expertise; and to representatives from Milwaukee Recreation for taking the time to provide us with important information about the unique role they play in Milwaukee’s youth sports landscape. Finally, we wish to thank the Milwaukee Youth Sports Alliance for spearheading this initiative, and the Milwaukee Bucks and Bader Philanthropies for their contributions that helped make this research possible.

Walzer A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee August 2017 ABSTRACT MAKING AN OLD-WORLD MILWAUKEE: GERMAN HERITAGE, NOSTALGIA AND THE RESHAPING OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY CITY by Joseph B. Walzer The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2017 Under the Supervision of Professor Rachel Buff This dissertation examines the importance of white ethnicity, and especially Germanness, in the “civic branding” and urban restructuring efforts of city officials, civic boosters, and business leaders in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in the mid-to-late twentieth century. Scholars have increasingly identified the significant roles the “revival” of European ethnic identities played in maintaining white racial privilege in response to the Civil Rights Movement since the 1960s.
