Welcome to Eureka Youth Soccer Club

Dear Club Members and Guests:

First, thank you for a great 2009 season! The Eureka Youth Soccer Club (EYSC) is proud to have provided the “EYSC Soccer Experience” to 1737 players, 124 coaches, 132 assistant coaches, 69 team sponsors, 81 referees, and those countless family members on the sidelines. With a history dating back to 1980, EYSC has grown to become a premier choice for youth soccer in Western Placer County. Many in the Club today started at the age of 5 and have grown to continue loving the game as an adult. Some of our players have gone on to win an EYSC sponsored scholarship and we even have Coaches, once EYSC youth players themselves, return to coach their own children.

This year, we are again extremely excited about the direction of our Club and the future ahead of us. When we continue to offer our members the quality coaches, referees, volunteer leadership, fields and sponsors, we deliver a club experience that sets the bar high for youth soccer. From our Club sponsored training sessions for players, coaches, and referees to our commitment to our community, EYSC is the Club destination to experience the game.

We continue to offer the opportunity to play soccer at the Recreational and the newly redefined Select/Competitive level within the California Youth Soccer Association (CYSA). Please look for more information at www.eysc.com regarding the new Cal Soccer League as it becomes available. While a continued goal of EYSC is to offer players the opportunity to play at a level of play that matches their drive, skill, and commitment to the game, some may be looking at a Strictly Competitive Club as an alternative. For those of you, I encourage you to visit our website or participate as a volunteer to learn more about our Club and connect with those directly involved prior to making that decision. Ultimately, your Club decision needs to be a good fit for your child, your family, your finances, and the overall sporting experience that you desire. We are confident in the program we offer and the experience you will have with the Club.

EYSC prides itself on offering youth soccer and providing the opportunity for players to advance their skill, respect, and love for the game to the level that is best for them. True to our mission, we are dedicated to our youth and setting an atmosphere where through the soccer experience we help young people learn “life lessons” and positive character traits that will help them become successful throughout their lives. Do you have ideas on how to improve the Club? Do you want to contribute to Soccer for our youth? Consider volunteering to our many committees and events.

On behalf of EYSC, I look forward to your involvement in our premier organization as a player, referee, family supporter, Club sponsor or volunteer. As Michael Baumbach, the EYSC past President continually emphasized, “It is all about the kids playing soccer”.

To a great 2010 season, welcome!

Dear Club Members and Guests:

As 2010 volunteers, we are especially grateful to all of you that have contributed to EYSC and made it what it is today. Under the leadership of Michael Baumbach, our Club ended 2009 positioned again to be the Premier organization to promote the game of youth soccer to more than 1750 youth players in Placer County. As we come into our 30th year as a non-profit Soccer Club, we continue to bring together players, coaches, referees, families, and sponsors to offer an unsurpassed soccer experience. As leaders of the Club, we are committed to keeping to our mission and to building on our vision for the next 30 years. With elections now complete, we would like to introduce the 2010 EYSC Board.

In addition to the above, we are proud to have many volunteer members that lead our Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), Age Groups Coordinator Committee, and Select Coaches Steering Committees. As always, please feel free to contact any of the Board members with questions, input, or recommendations throughout the year. We are always looking for feedback or contributions from our members and I would encourage you to attend our monthly Board meeting and participate. There are always opportunities to be a part of and to contribute to EYSC soccer.

To a great 30 years and many more,

Nick Perjanik
EYSC President
