SOCCER RECRUITING:  The task of recruiting is the primary goal of the 2010 season. Our numbers have fallen in the past two years to around 150 kids per season.  Your new directors are attempting to recruit 300 for the spring 2010 season. As the new Soccer Directors we will be spending a lot of time this winter trying to reach out to the community for new soccer players. We will be visiting schools,day care facilities,churches,and various civic organizations. We may also be setting up Soccer recruiting booths at local business locations to promote our sport . We will be using email and facebook groups to help promote the PEFYA Soccer experience. The details of this program are so diverse and creative that we can not possibly list all the details on this web page.

CONCESSIONS: The purpose of concessions at this point is to support the Soccer Jobs for Kids Program. All monies dispersed and received comes from your Soccer directors personal funds not those of PEFYA. There is no profit from this endevour.

SOCCER TENT EVENTS: These events occur at the Sunday soccer games. Events such as "Guess the Pigs Weight" contest are not fundraisers. These events are either just for fun or just for education purposes.

FACEBOOK GROUP: The Facebook group PEFYA SOCCER was created by a former director . We plan to continue and enhance the group.

DOOR TO DOOR FUNDRAISING: This is the sole responsibility of Mark Jozwicki and Cannon Watson, your Co-Directors. No one likes doing this job . However it raises money,creates new fundraising partnerships, and informs local business people of the PEFYA Soccer organization.

News Articles: From time to time articles will be posted in the Farmville Herald. The articles are created by the Soccer directors and are published in the newspaper at the newspapers discreation.

INTERLEAGUE COMMUNICATION: There is more to the soccer world other then PEFYA. Our purpose is to communicate with other Soccer leagues in the Central Virginia area. This communication leads to unity between leagues as well as creating the opportunity for special interleague games. Which children find very enjoyable. Creating this bond with other soccer organizations will build a future for Soccer tournaments at the new Soccer Complex. Which in turn will generate income for PEFYA and the Farmville community.

EMAIL: This is one of those chores that no one considers. Email work requires a huge amount of time from your Soccer directors. It is however a required tool that is the backbone of communication with in the soccer program.

Travel League Philosophy : Thunder FC is the name of the local  Farmville area travel league. It is not connected to PEFYA. However it is the Soccer directors opinion that the travel league concept is good for PEFYA soccer children.  Children of a higher skill level that make the move to the travel league  actually open the door for lesser skilled kids to shine at PEFYA. One less Superstar in the league provides more play time for the children of recreational soccer. Which in turn creates more confidence for the average PEFYA soccer player.

SOCCER DOG MASCOT: This is a new idea that does not cost PEFYA any money. It is a volunteer expense of your Soccer directors. This is a man in a Dog costume that will visit soccer games from time to time and also visit local day cares and schools to promote soccer fun.

FUNDRAISER PARTNERSHIPS:  THE PURPOSE OF FUNDRAISER PARTNERSHIPS ARE TO CREATE FUNDS FOR THE NEW SOCCER FIELD COMPLEX. THESE PARTNERSHIPS CREATE AN EASY WAY FOR LOCAL BUSINESS PEOPLE TO REACH NEW CUSTOMERS AND AT THE SAME TIME PROVIDE A VERY EASY FORMAT FOR PEFYA FAMILIES TO CONTRIBUTE MONEY TO THE SOCCER FIELD FUND. FAMILIES SPEND MONEY EVERY WEEK ON ITEMS SUCH AS FAST FOOD, CARWASHES AND OTHER RELATED ITEMS. SUPPORTING YOUR FUNDRAISER PARTNERS IN TURN SUPPORTS YOUR COMMUNITY AS WELL AS THE PEFYA ORGANIZATION. ALL  FUNDRAISER PARTNERSHIP WORK PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. YOU SPEND MONEY AT A LOCAL BUSINESS AND THEY IN TURN DONATE BACK TO PEFYA SOCCER A PERCENTAGE OF THE SALE. IT IS EASY AND SIMPLE WITH NO REAL EFFORT ON ANYONES BEHALF.
