Please be advised that I have placed your request under the Presentations section of the Agenda. Sincerely, s apiro • ' y Manager ES2w:fdg:101 cc: Jean Grafton, City Clerk February 5, 1997 Dear Mr. Ellis Shapiro: We, the Ocoee Youth Soccer League, are writing you to URGENTLY request a spot on the agenda for the upcoming City Commission meeting Tuesday, February 18, 1997. Our soccer league has started with a bang and will be growing next year and for years to come. As you may well know, we are presently playing at the Ocoee Middle School, and the projection for next year is, we will out-grow that field already. As it is, we have made two (short and long) fields out of the one. They are set different during the game day to accommodate the age group playing. I've enclosed a present and projected participation sheet for 96-97 and 97-98. Projections were based on phone calls to the league for sign ups and people recently finding out about the league due to lack of funds at the beginning to advertise. As you can see according to the sheets, we will need either a field with lights or an area where two or more fields can be made to make us able to run two games at once. As of now, we have 16 teams with a total of 195 players. Games presently run from 8:00am to 4:30pm. Next year with approximately 20 teams and a total of 300 children, we will need lights to run games into the dark or two fields together to run two games at once. Once again, we urgently request to be put on the agenda for February 18, 1997 for 5-10 minutes to make the City aware of their rapidly growing new soccer league. This is very important to the children of the Community to keep them active and healthy and off the streets. We do not want to turn children away from the league due to lack of space or daylight to run 20 or more teams, it's not fair and very discouraging to a child. This league is co-ed, so the whole youth of Ocoee can be involved.
