As the club leadership already starts to look ahead to the Fall 2024 season, I want to advertise two new board positions aimed at distributing the workload and making sure the club responsibilities are addressed in a timely and proper fashion.

The MOD Coordinator and the Coach Coordinator will help:
1. Run the MOD program (our youngest U6-U9 teams) and coordinate the field and game logistics with neighboring clubs.
2. Assist our team coaches with practice resources, new coaches onboarding and training.

SYSA South End MOD Soccer is a Fall soccer program for teams U6 to U9.  The SYSA South End MOD league is comprised of 4 neighboring clubs; McGilvra, Capitol Hill, Mt Baker, and Beacon Hill.  Each club has a MOD Coordinator who represents their club.
