14. Why I like LUFC The communication and spirit! More kids involved gets kids playing at proper levels The fact that its merged Chisago, FL, and NB. I liked that you offered a payment plan for paying the soccer fees! overall positive experience Feeling of belonging to a club that is trying to improve and build. Used to be loyalty of players. Well Organized Tryouts website The resources available to the players and coaches. The multiple levels of play. the colors mixture of girls my daughter gets to play with I like the parents and staff. I like that the board members are visible and communicate. Development of it's coaching staff to better support and develop players The players and their families. I love the unity and enthusiasm the player and club have about soccer our manager this year; LUFC offers a competitive option for my son vs a community ed program. community based, player with his friends. quality character coach that also teaches life lessons. The vision that Chris and the Board have put together is spot on. Lots of ways to get involved and help The clubs vision for the future, the direction for coaching, the focus on development of all players and not just the top players (C1)

15. What Needs Improvement? More training for coaches and support for them. Also, watching each level Play up ruling - if player makes it, they should be allowed to play, not top 3-5 Communication and informing public of tryouts/info about traveling soccer Player development, facilities, coach development. What dies our registration money go to? Would like to see a breakdown. training' for parents on the game of soccer. How teams move from C1-C3, nutrition education, how to help kids at home/train/practice. Retention of players Focus on U9 and U10s Make more opportunities for C2 players to continue to improve their skills and keep them driven. Experienced trainers, provide more 1/1 training to the players, while coaching the overall team. establishing final rosters earlier communicating with other clubs for learning/growth. Investing in land for training/game sites. keep cost down to build numbers, when numbers improve slowly implement stragies not requiring paid coaches at c1 levels. Coaches surveys seen by the entire board, not just DOC. Hopefully the survey results will be acted upon with open minds more urgency and ownership of the DOC in appointing coaches for ALL teams by NOV have goalie tryouts more committee management & too many parent conflicts of interest. I would like to see an anti- bullying policy among the players that is in writing. more free training that are specified (foot work, cardio, goalie, etc.) More people willing to help rather than the same people stuck doing everything

16. Next Steps Elections Set Strategy Implement Repeat

17. What makes the club work?....You!!!! As we all know, volunteers is the key to success with any club. It is important for all of us to make a point to volunteer time and or talent to make the club a success. There are several opportunities, board member, committees and during our fundraisers. (Flower sales and tournament). The board is made up of 10 members. It is vital that we get new people, voices, ideas on the board. The positions are for a two year period, staggered with a chance to re-up once. PLEASE consider serving on a committee or the board. A club needs new members and ideas to keep moving forward.
