SCYA Elects New Board, Summer Baseball Tourney and Fall Sports Registration is Open

South County Youth Athletics elected some new board members at their June meeting. They also announced that they will be hosting three summer baseball tournaments in August. In addition, registration is open for fall sports: soccer, field hockey, baseball and volleyball.

Baseball tournament begins in August.

As with any organization, a core group of hard-working volunteers are needed to keep things running smoothly. As the largest youth athletic association in south county, SCYA needs 26 individuals to serve as a board of directors, commissioners for each sport plus someone to line up volunteers for the snack shack, registrations, photos and the newsletter.

Luckily, some kind souls stepped forward to serve, although they still have a few vacancies, including:

• Secretary
• County Girls Soccer Commissioner
• Clinic Soccer Commissioner
• Clinic Basketball Commissioner
• Picture Coordinator, and
• Newsletter

The new crew includes Joe Canter as Baseball Commissioner. Ed Carney comes in as Soccer Commissioner—with assistance from Kelly Baker. Bill Collinson is stepping into the Boys Lacrosse Commissioner job.

Congratulations to all of the people who keep sports programs alive for our children.
