For Parents of Middle School Aged Soccer Players:

Your club's Board has the right and duty to do what it feels is best for the club.

However, it is important to know that the position presented on middle school soccer was not discussed directly with the head girls soccer coach or Athletic Director at Heights High School and they do not necesarily agree with it. I appreciate Mr. Alcorn removing certain items on this website which we believe to be factually incorrect.

The HS head coaches and AD are meeting soon regarding this very important issue and we are hopeful that after the meeting, the Board will have the courtesy to discuss the issue with us, as promised previously. While there are weaknesses in our middle school program, as presented on this website, ESK's position is inconsistent with the concept of "supporting respective high school programs," for a number of reasons. This is especially true on the girls' side of the ledger. I will gladly discuss these reasons privately or at a public forum after our staff meeting, but I do not wish to get too involved on what can be an anonymous message forum. I simply wish to inform you of the issue and potential conflict.

Ultimately, we all want what is best for our children and I am hopeful that all involved parties will have a dialogue on this very important issue very soon in order to reach a solution that is best for everyone involved.

Thank you.
