ANNUAL GENER AL MEETING | FEBRUARY 28, 2021

Annual General Meeting FEBRUARY 28, 2021

Report of the Chief Executive Officer Chris Branscome

What a difference a year makes…

Last February, as I was very focused on preparations for this meeting and the excitement of sharing World Cup news. In the background, were these stories coming from China, Spain and Italy. We gathered in Reading on February 23.

Eighteen days later, everything changed.

Our staff left the office under the Governor’s orders for Montgomery County on March 12. We have not been able to return as a full staff since. As with all of you, we’ve had to work remotely for the past 347 days. I happen to live nearby, so I’ve been coming to the office even before the stay at home order was lifted.

It’s been eerily silent and certainly strange. Still is. I look forward to the day the staff can be together again.

But as we look back, the beginning was dark. There was fear. There were many unknowns. There was a sense of loss. There was true loss. There were bumps in the road. There were detours. But we eventually all “turned green.” We developed protocols. We got back on the fields. We played a Fall season. We’ve played a winter season and are preparing for a Spring season and the Cups. We asked everyone to show respect and compassion, and overall, you did. Diligence, commitment, community and respect from throughout the membership enabled our kids to play again.

We need to remember, not everyone was able to play. Not everyone was able to work. Many families and individuals made decisions for their own health and safety. Many municipalities would not or could not allow play to resume. This affected players of course, but coaches, referees, and assorted volunteers. We were not at full strength this fall. We’re still not. My hope is that as a community, we can assist those that have yet to return to play. We will look at providing all of the resources at our disposal, human and financial, to do so. We’ve all learned so much, but we need to pass it on to others and help them confidently and comfortably return to play again.

We’re still in a state of flux, but things are a bit more stable than it before. There are still many questions and not always a perfect answer. New or changing orders and restrictions are still in our future. We must continue to be patient and diligent.

I sincerely want to thank our staff. There was nothing routine or simple about the last 11 months. 2020 was the year of constantly moving goalposts and I could not have managed without their assistance and support. I speak for all of us by saying that we look forward to next year. We look forward to working hand in hand with all of you to grow the game and return all of our kids, coaches and referees to the field 21-22 is a special year as we will celebrate our 50th anniversary. I’d like nothing more than to see us all back at full strength, and then some.

Annual General Meeting FEBRUARY 28, 2021

Report of State Youth Referee Administrator Jeff Tener

The year 2020 was a year requiring patience, flexibility and determination both in life and in sport. The referee community experience mirrored our youth soccer players, coaches and leagues. Spring brought in lock downs and in person restrictions that limited our ability to train new referees. Typically, Spring is our busiest training period. This raised additional concern as nationwide, the soccer referee pool has been diminishing in numbers year over year. Entering the Fall, it was great to be able to get to participate in soccer. Covid protocols evolved, allowing those who were interested in playing soccer participate in a safe manner.

Eastern Pennsylvania Referee Committee has gone through change and evolution as well. Ian Bongaardt was selected as the State Referee Administrator and Tim Snyder has been added as State Director of Instruction. Both have extensive referee experience at the local, regional and national levels. With any new additions, comes new energy and ideas. Specific plans for 2021 are being finalized with the focus being: • Increase instruction opportunities for both new referees and advanced training for existing referees. Specifically, on field training to simulate game play.

• Continued focus on risk management areas in accordance with US Soccer and Safesport • Mentor programs to provide feedback at various levels from beginner to advanced.

Eastern Pennsylvania Youth has had several committees and subgroups looking at opportunities to improve the game experience.

One area of focus for 2021 will be sideline conduct. Too often we hear of parents/spectators creating distractions and disrupting the game flow which ultimately impacts the enjoyment of the game. Referees now have the ability to show coaches cards, but this does not apply to spectators. Coaches are responsible for their spectators and the referee is to hold the coach responsible vs. engaging with a fan/spectator. While this may seem new to some, this is the proper way to handle these situations and has been from some time. It is just not widely applied. Based on this, we highly recommend you share this information with your coaching staff and they in turn discuss sideline conduct with parents’ pre-season to avoid any complications throughout the season.

In many cases, frustration comes from spectators or parents not fully understand the Laws of the Game. To help address this, we will be creating various publications and plan to host webinars open to anyone to help explain some of the most common misconceptions.

Finally, I would like to acknowledge the passing of Frank Giancroce, former State Referee Adminstrator. As many of you know, Frank was a pillar of the referee program in Pennsylvania for decades. His contributions are many and will not be forgotten.

Eastern PA Referee Committee will be managing a scholarship program in his honor.

Respectfully Submitted, Jeff Tener, State Youth Referee Administrator

ANNUAL GENER AL MEETING | FEBRUARY 28, 2021

Annual General Meeting FEBRUARY 28, 2021

Report of the Treasurer Warren Beideman

The Treasurer has reviewed all internal controls to insure they are being followed and no deviations were found. Bank reconciliations, investments statements and results are verified and signed off by the CEO, Chris Branscome. The annual review CPA Prepared Financial Statement is performed by Accounting firm of Friedman LLP. The following report is for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2020.

Balance Sheet

Balance sheet remains very strong and net assets ($3,396M) and liabilities only being $314M. The organization net equity is $3,081M. Cash and liquid assets totaled $3,325M, A/R’s were $1M and all other assets totaled $48M. Liabilities for this period did decrease to $314M from $656M from prior year. The major decreases were the line of credit used was only $100M as compared to $300M for same period in 2019. The other major reduction was in accounts payable, which were $17M at year end versus $277M in year end 2019. The organization will have an additional benefit as they borrowed $155M from the SBA PPP program. These funds were used primarily for payroll expenses and this total liability should be forgiven and recognized in our 2021 Year end statement. The organization, based on results, had a 30% reduction in gross revenue do to COVID-19 and will qualify for another PPP loan if the board decides to apply for the 3rd round of PPP approved in January 2021 by Congress. These funds are specific for the use of payroll and related expenses.

Income Statement

Total revenue this year was $2,124M as compared to $3,062M in 2019. The actual decrease was 30.6% year over year. The major reductions in income were Individual fees were down $358M, Team fees were $523, and sponsorship was down $120M. Total decrease was $939M from 2019 year’s results. The management team did an excellent job in managing their expenses and considering the financial situation they were in with the large decrease in revenue, the organization ended the year with a marginal loss. The PPP loan helped immensely.

It has been a pleasure working with the board and the executive team these past 4 years. The organization continues to look to improved their financial controls and check and balances to maintain their very strong financial condition.

Respectfully Submitted, Warren Beideman Treasurer

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS Proposed by PA Rush Soccer Club

Constitution, Article IX, Section 1 a. Officers Current:

a. Officers of this Association shall be a President, Vice President of Travel, Vice President of Recreation, Secretary, Treasurer, Registrar, State Youth Referee Administrator, and Immediate Past-President shall comprise the Executive Committee. The President, Vice President of Travel and Treasurer, shall be elected for a two year period in odd numbered years by the Council. The Vice President of Recreation, Secretary, and Registrar shall be elected for a two-year period in even numbered years. The State Youth Referee Administrator will be appointed as voting member to the Board of Directors by the President with the approval of the Board of Directors.

How it will change:

a. Officers of the Association shall be a President, First Vice President, Second Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, At Large Member, and Immediate Past President shall comprise the Executive Committee.

The President, Second Vice President and Treasurer shall be elected for a two year period in odd numbered years by the Council.

The First Vice President, Secretary and At Large Member shall be elected for a two year period in even number years.

The State Youth Referee Administrator will be appointed as a voting member to the Board of Directors by the President with the approval of the Board of Directors

Rationale:

The titles of the officers were created in the original 1974 By-Laws. They reflect that in 1974 the Organization was actively run and operated by the then Board. Today the supervision of travel leagues, recreation leagues the registration of coaches and players is now overseen by professional staff. These changes are perfunctory and not substantive. Note that no position is being eliminated as the Registrar position is merely converted to an At Large Position. The State Youth Referee Administrator as an appointed position, not elected by the Council will remain on the Board. It is believed that responsive governance should reflect that all members of the Executive Committee be elected by the Council.

Candidate for President Jeffrey R. Sommer To all members and affiliates, I write to express my interest and request your support for another two year term as your Board President. I have enjoyed serving these past 18 months and I hope to continue to repay the confidence you’ve shown in me. During this past year of COVID and the hoped for better future, I look forward to helping meet the needs of the membership and grow the game of soccer in Eastern Pennsylvania for this generation and the next.

I have had the pleasure of serving Eastern Pennsylvania as the Vice President for Recreation, Corporate Secretary and District Commissioner, and have co-authored various amendments to the constitution and bylaws including the recently revised arbitration rules. Currently I also serve on the Governance Committee of US Youth Soccer and on an ad hoc committee addressing USSF By-Law issues with US Adult Soccer Association I have been active in the soccer community for many years and have a deep passion to grow the game. I’ve previously held roles on the Board of Directors for the Southern Chester County Soccer Association from 1996-2013, including a term as its President from 2001-2005. I hold a US Soccer C License, and am still an active coach working with recreational and travel teams since 1995.

In 2010, I was recognized as the Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Travel Coach of the Year when my SCCSA team won the Eastern Pennsylvania Presidents Cup and represented the state on the regional level of the competition. I have been an active US Soccer referee since 2000 and refereed high school games as a PIAA official from 2010-2017.

Professionally, as many of you know I was elected to a ten-year term as a Judge in the Court of Common Pleas for the 15th Judicial District – Chester County. Prior to that I was a partner at the West Chester law firm of Buckley, Brion, McGuire & Sommer for over twenty years before ascending to the bench. I have been a successful trial lawyer and solicitor for municipal and county agencies and have been admitted to practice before the Unites States Supreme Court along with other state and federal jurisdictions.

I look forward, if elected, to your continued support.

Elections 2021

Candidate for VICE PRESIDENT William Fuller Hello Eastern Pennsylvania Member Organizations, My name is William Fuller, and I am currently the Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer District 1 commissioner. I humbly announce my candidacy for the position of Vice-president.

What a year! The COVID-19 pandemic has caused havoc in both our soccer and everyday lives. I could never have imagined that we would play soccer while wearing a face mask. To everyone’s credit and resolve, along with the tremendous support of our State Association and other soccer organizations, we adapted. While we had to skip the Spring 2020 season, we started a Fall 2020-21 season.

I started my involvement with soccer in 1994 when my children wanted to play soccer. I signed up to be an assistant coach but due to the need for coaches I became a head coach. Nearly 26 years later and despite my children aging out of youth soccer, I am still active in our local soccer community and still coaching youth soccer. I currently have my USSF “F” coaching license.

Shortly after my children started playing, I was elected to the Board of Directors at Hulmeville Soccer Club. Shortly thereafter, I was elected President in 2002 and still serve in that role today. In addition to my activities at Hulmeville Soccer Club, and I currently serve on the following committees: • Middletown Park & Recreation • Middletown 4th July Parade • Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Arbitration • Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Referee Improvement Plan I have been a licensed referee for over 25 years as well as a futsal referee for the past 4 years. In addition to being an active referee, I am also a Referee Instructor, Assessor and Assignor.

The excitement of the 2026 World Cup and the possibility of Philadelphia hosting a game has energized the local soccer community. I attended the World Cup 2026 presentation at the 2020 AGM and the enthusiasm in the crowd was breathtaking.

I have learned a lot about the dynamics of Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association during my time as a District Commissioner. My experiences as a coach, club volunteer, club president and referee are all characteristic that will guide me in this position of vice president.

I am excited and look forward to tackling the challenges that lay ahead for all of us in soccer and the end of the pandemic.

I appreciate your consideration and hope that you find me a worthy candidate for the position.

Yours in Soccer William Fuller
