| MONTHLY UPDATE FROM OUR
FOOTBALL DIRECTOR
In my January letter, I outlined many items on our “Honey-Due-List” and I can assure you that we are working vigorously to provide the best opportunities for our members. With that said (drum roll, please…), we will not increase our registration fees even though our field usage fees have increased again this year.
Furthermore, we are looking at fine tuning our programs; bringing in vendors directly with SJSA to provide new equipment at a reduced price; introducing a Graduated Pricing program that helps our newer families weather the initial investment storm; a Multi-Player Discount program to help those families with more than one player in the program; and a Payment Plan Program that provides flexibility for our families, so they can spread the expense over a period of time. Our business model is centered on flexibility and creativity. We simply cannot continue to work in the manner we’ve become accustom too in order to reach our ultimate goal, which is to offer a great product at a great price. More will be announced on these specific topics as we finalize the budget and properly document our programs for 2010.
We all love seeing our kids and teams compete at the highest levels possible; our focus is centered on providing the riches experience we can for our kids. Our Flag Football program is shaping up and taking huge strides in its fourth year with team expansion opportunities with other areas, a price point that is more affordable, and with enhanced competition for our kids.
I’m excited to announce that Mike Mahoney will serve as our Flag Football Director for 2010, and has been instrumental in the expansion of our program while mediating with other areas and, working through the finer points to improve this program. We are very excited about our Flag program and I know Mike will continue to do a great job in this endeavor. We are excited and highly motivated to grow this premiere program for our kids and community. At this time, we are diligently searching for an assistant flag director to be mentored during the 2010 season to take over this vital program in 2011. If you are interested in leading a fantastic program in 2011, please contact me directly and we can discuss our program and our goals for 2011.
SJSA has an affluent base of coaches in both the tackle and flag program. These coaches are scrutinized vigorously through our interviewing process spearheaded by our Coach Liaison, Coach Lee Adkins. We’ve had numerous changes that will make our football program better; along with a new format for The Camp, which will be held at Marker Park July 29th, 30th, and 31st, along with many others. More details will be provided over the next few months on the Full Contact Camp for our Youth coached by Youth Coaches.
Next Steps for the Coming Months:
March will prove to be a great month for the football program; I wish I could say our “Honey-Due-List” is getting smaller, but the fact is the Elephant is getting larger. As many of you may or may not have noticed the football portion of the website is changing daily: our contacts page is complete, updated policies are captured, procedures around our Sport Board Review Committee are noted and so much more.
Please keep checking the website from time to time as it serves as our primary communication source.
In the coming months you’ll see action taken on the following areas:
- Early registration: Coming in March with a payment program;
- The Graduating Payment Program: for 2nd and 3rd graders;
- Multi-Player Discount Program: to help curb the cost for families with multiple players;
- The Breast Cancer Awareness Program: SJSA Pink Hoodies/Jerseys fully customizable at the team and player level;
- The Fan Jersey Program: customizable at the team and player level.
If you have any questions or ideas to offer do not hesitate to contact myself or Paul Sheehy our President; we look forward to continued conversations with you all and, most importantly the “Power of One” is alive and well in the SJSA community.
Until next month, be safe and, take care.
Brian A. Goodwin
Director, SJSA Football

ROTHROCK EARNS CAMPTON
“FOR THE KIDS” AWARD
Long time South Jeffco Sports Association volunteer, John Rothrock, was awarded the organization's 2nd annual Bennie Campton For The Kids Award during recent Carnation Bowl ceremonies at North Stadium in Denver. Rothrock was presented with the award by Bennie Campton, for whom SJSA named the award.
Rothrock has volunteered his time to coach youth sports for over 30 years. He has coached girls softball, boys baseball, youth football and Special Olympics, all the while serving as an outstanding role model for the youth of our community. In addition to his service as a coach, John has served the South Jeffco Sports Association as the Girls Softball Director and the Columbine Baseball Director. He has always been enormously generous with his time and energy when it comes to youth sports.
The Bennie Campton Award was established to recognize selfless individuals who have made outstanding commitments and contributions toward enriching the lives of the children of our community. The awards' namesake was presented with the original honor in 2008, recognizing over 4 decades of his service and commitment to South Jeffco youth sports.
"This is the most prestigious award our organization can award, and it takes a truly special and unique individual to earn it," explained SJSA President, Paul Sheehy. "John's commitment epitomizes the spirit of the award, which recognizes that making such a commitment means 'making the time when there is none; coming through time after time after time, year after year', which describes John perfectly."
