This is actually an editorial mixed with news.

A Sad Day

It is an unfortunate fact of life that change comes when you least expect it.

One of West Michigan's best young coaches is heading for a new challenge.

Ryan Fitzsimmons, the Alliance Youth Director...

...is headed to Las Vegas, Nevada.

We are all sad to see him go.

He is a great coach, a great role model for our youth and just a very nice young man.

*********************

State Association Presidency

Most of what passes for youth soccer in Michigan is part of a state association called the Michigan State Youth Soccer Association (MSYSA). 

It has 80,000 members and historically has been run by the same people over the last 15 years.  That statement, in and of itself, explains much.

Different individuals, including myself, have gotten involved in an attempt to effect change over the years.

If you interested in the process, here is a look at the individuals running for the Presidency of this Association.
