I hope you are all well. As the Outdoor season draws to a close and Registration gets into high gear for the 2010 Winter Indoor season, I would like to inform you of a couple of items that we feel are important going forward.

Troye Flannery and I (Shaun Lowther) have been working diligently to ensure that the NSDSC Evaluation process is both transparent and fair. In consultation with a number of coaches at various levels throughout the Club, we have developed an evaluation process which we believe will address some issues that were highlighted in the recent survey that was completed by some of you. I have been involved with many different Clubs over the years using different processes, and for the most part they have all received some negative feedback regardless of the process. Generally, the negative feedback stems from a parent and/or child not being happy with the placement of the player, and not necessarily the process itself. With that being said, we recognize the importance of improving the current evaluation process, and we will make every effort to make sure that our lines of communication to our players, coaches, managers and parents regarding the Evaluation process are kept transparent. To that end, this document comprehensively explains the NSD Soccer Club Evaluation protocol for the 2010 Winter Indoor season. Please take the time to read the document to familiarize yourself with the process.

In addition to the Evaluation Protocol, the short notice in regard to Evaluation dates was also cited as a major issue. I would like to take this opportunity to inform you of the Club's general dates for evaluations at present. Please note the timeframe for NSD Soccer Club evaluations below. A more detailed schedule will be posted..
