WSC Committees:

The Winchester Soccer Club has formed three new committees to assist in improving communications with our membership, improve the field scheduling process, and provide a mechanism to address concerns of members.

The Ombudsman Committee, aka the "OC", led by JD Hale, will be reaching out and receiving feedback from the WSC members about concerns and opportunities for the club to consider. The committee will sort through the information, connect common threads of information and decide what to present to the WSC Board for club-wide consideration or action.

OC Mission:

The OC is a committee of Winchester Soccer Club members or non-members whose primary purpose is to interact with the membership, summarize needs, issues, and opportunities for the board to consider and possibly act upon. It also is meant to allow for feedback on new programs and initiatives that the club is trying to allow for quicker feedback and opportunity for refinement.

The “OC” is a smaller, more accessible and casual group to allow the membership to more easily feel their concerns and ideas are heard comfortably.

Loni Paul is heading up the Communications Committee, which has two primary goals. In the short term, the group has implemented a contact management system and launched "Winchester Soccer Club News" to bring the latest news and important updates to its members. Longer term, the committee looks to improve our technology and website to provide a more efficient and user-friendly system. The communications group is currently looking for a Webmaster to assist the group in both its goals. Anyone interested can contact Loni at lonipaul@comcast.net.

Finally, a Fields Committee, led by Kip Garlow, was established to help the club in its efforts to secure the necessary field space required to support our growing membership. The committee has also been working to establish a more consistent practice schedule and practice locations for each age group and program.
