ALWAYS ON MY UPDATES
It is the key to our continued success. I brought this to the attention of everyone last year and I want to continue to stress the importance of good communication between our members, managers, coaches, directors and myself. We had our first coaches meeting of the year last week, and we continued to stress the importance of our staff being active listeners if any problems occur and communicate with their teams on the progress of players and the team in general. Good communication is a major part of continued success here at SCSA. Please keep communication lines open with managers, parents, coaches and Directors. If you have any issues relating to your team and need assistance please do not hesitate to contact your respective DOC. They are full time employees and are here for you as a member of this association.
Have a good week
Brad
