COMMITTEES

To ensure the efficient operation and direction of SUSC, and to accomplish the work of the Club and its Board of Directors, the Club has committees focused on specific Club activities and functions.

Inquiries and questions should be directed first to specific team organizational members, and then to specific Club committee members. The Club and the leagues in which the Club's teams compete have designated individuals/liaisons through whom all questions and concerns should be directed. The leagues have requested that all questions and/or issues come ONLY through the Club's league contact.

The Officers and Board of Directors, as well as the individuals on the Club's committees and assisting in its support, volunteer their time, expertise and enthusiasm in support of the Club. Their efforts are greatly appreciated.

The demands of maintaining the Spirit United Soccer Club as one of the top youth soccer organizations in Pennsylvania continue and are growing. There will be increased demands placed upon the Club, particularly in light of (1) the USYSA changes to travel soccer, (2) the changing methods of communication, (3) the increasing demands of a successful program, (4) the increasingly diverse makeup of the Club's constituencies, and (5) time and resources are both limited commodities.

Fortunately, there are many in the Club who would like to become more involved. To address the Club's needs, the Board has identified committees that effectively delegate the Club's functional activities/responsibilities. These committees follow the axiom that "many hands make little work" and are established to ensure that the Club functions smoothly.

The following briefly outlines the responsibilities of each of the SUSC board committees. Each of these committees is chaired by a member of the SUSC board or a volunteer. The Club encourages all who would like to participate on one or more of these committees to contact the committee chairperson. The committees are listed in alphabetical order.
