12 years and counting...

Wow.  We started playing soccer 12 years ago; since that time I've been a coach, a referee, a referee instructor, referee instructor evaluator, statistician, an Assistant Regional Comissioner, and Director or Referee Instruction.  My blogging here has been sporadic; I doubt that anyone has ever read these pages (except me).  But I press on...

Our region's leadership has been a problem for the past 5 years.  The RC was checking out his 2nd year - to be fair, his predecessor had done some serious damage to the volunteer infrastructure and the new guy was done.  The next RC finished the job, driving away most of the serious volunteers, and keeping sycophants and cronies around, ignoring the regional guidelines for her self serving purposes, and generally screwing up the region and driving away whole families.

We have a new RC now; we have a board that seems willing to work hard together - but we still are having trouble with lone wolfs making unilateral decisions affecting other people and their jobs.  This has already lead to the registrar resigning in disgust. 

Hopefully, all will get better; it can hardly get any worse!
