To All Coaches & Referee Coordinators/Asst.Referees

 

I’d like to take this opportunity to express my Thanks & gratitude to all the Coaches & members (who attended the AGM) this past Saturday and in so doing appointed me ,your New President for the TSSL (relinquishing my Role as Discipline Chairman) this was in fact due to Sean Lee Heung stepping down from the post .

I’d like to commend Sean for his tireless hard work & commitment, he put into the position just like all other past presidents before  and can only hope that I can do the same to keep the TSSL moving in the right direction along with the other Board members that do a tremendous job and the continued support of our league teams & membership.

Of myself I can say ,that I’m passionate ,committed and will work to seek the best interest of this league as it pertains to the unique situation of us “Having our Own” with a Referee Association this is indeed a tremendous chance for us going forward to be a flagship and show the doubters that it can be done but doesn’t work  if our own teams don’t see the vision beyond just getting your schedule & playing games.

Our brand has to be kept moving forward whereby the next generation of young players can look at our League to come and play, the group of friends who just want to form a team (while at the bar) ,the husbands, fathers , brothers who hadn’t play in awhile but just want to get back in the game, can look at our league and see us as a viable option.

In my background while growing up in Trinidad ,I use to be a Cadet and once you are in it ,you feel like a brotherhood with levels of Authority & Rank, teaching discipline & respect ……it’s the same way I feel our League can be with the many diversity of teams as far as backgrounds ,culture and different levels of players skill & talent also our Referees .

That being said I’d like to issue our mantra for the upcoming season as

“ RESPECT FOR ALL IN THE GAME” but this has to be communicated down towards all persons within our organization so that we can all get along with each other understanding your roles as : Player, Game Officials, Coach & Fans to help the League to grow  and enjoy the competition of playing “the beautiful game”.

 

With regards,

 

Clinton Mitchell

President

TSSL
