____________________________________________________________ OCYSA Hosts Successful 2010 Eurosport Challenge Cup KYSA shared their appreciation and gave high marks to OCYSA in hosting the preliminary rounds of the 2010 Eurosport Challenge Cup tournament on May 21, 22, & 23. 69 teams competed in the tournament. This was the first time OCYSA hosted the event. Thanks to all the volunteers that helped make the tournament a success. Proceeds generated from the tournament will be placed in the OCYSA Green Fields Fund for field and facility improvements. ____________________________________________________________ Despite Rain, 6th Annual Derby Cup Tourney is a Success Tournament Director, Joe Wisdom, declared the 6th Annual Derby Cup Tournament a success and thanked all volunteers for their help in hosting the tournament on April 23, 24 & 25 at OCYSA fields around Oldham County. Over 170 teams from the Midwest region of the USA competed in the select soccer tournament. This is the largest annual fundraiser for OCYSA and TSC. OCYSA proceeds go toward Green Field Fund field and facility improvements. ____________________________________________________________ Over 1,000 Youth Played Soccer with OCYSA in Spring 2010 Final enrollment numbers for Spring 2010 show a total of 1,008 players participating in OCYSA programs. Recreational soccer has 553 players, and select soccer has 455 players (TSC and Legends combined). ____________________________________________________________ Letter From OCYSA VP of Fields and Facilities The greatest asset to OCYSA is the over 50 acres of property either leased to us by the Oldham County Fiscal Court (OCYSA Soccer Complex) or loaned to us by three private property owners, the Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve, and Oldham County Public Schools. With the exception of OC Public School grounds, OCYSA mows and maintains this property from a portion of the registration fees paid by all soccer players in the OCYSA family (Rec, Academy, Legends, & TSC). We receive no local, state, or federal funding for maintaining the properties we use. The top priority for OCYSA is to provide the highest quality game fields for our players, even though none of the fields are irrigated and our annual operating budget does not allow us to complete major renovation of the fields on a regular basis (hopefully our fundraising will eventually help!). In recent years, we have implemented a turf management strategy for the game fields within our operating budget, that we believe has been effective in increasing the quality of our fields: 1.) Providing a limited annual turf management program of aeration, fertilization, and reseeding; 2.) Closing fields to minimize turf damage when they are too wet and soft for game play; 3.) Controlling game schedules to insure fields are not overused and allowed to rest. It is important to note that we have been incorporating this same strategy to a lesser degree in managing our practice fields. However, the biggest and cheapest field improvement is attained by simply not playing or practicing on wet or soft fields. Hopefully this gives all OCYSA family members a better understanding of our field usage policies and our strategies to improve the quality of our field turf. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and understanding because it will truly improve the OCYSA soccer experience for all our young soccer players. Thanks!
