[00:05:03]

[00:10:08]

UNIVERSIDAD DE CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY ME GUSTARIA MI APOYO A COACHELLA FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION Y TRABAJAR CON ELLOS PRONTO EL FUTURO. MUCHAS GRACIAS. SO EVERYTHING THAT'S THERE IS OUR CONNECTIONS, OUR VISION AND WHAT WE WHAT I WAS TALKING TO YOU GUYS ABOUT. WE WORKED ON NUMBERS SINCE WE'RE ALL BUSINESS PEOPLE AND WE LOOKED AT ALL THE NUMBERS AND WE PUT SOME NUMBERS TOGETHER BASED ON ALL THE GAMES THAT SEASON AND HAD AND ALSO REGISTRATION FOR 2425. AND WE CAME UP WITH THE NUMBER. WE TOOK A LONG TIME WORKING ON IT, ABOUT 620 4K OF REVENUE, REDUCING EVERYTHING THAT WE WOULD SPEND. WE WOULD STILL HAVE PLENTY OF MONEY TO FUNDRAISE, AND WE COULD COVER KIDS TO GO TO EUROPE WITH SCHOLARSHIPS BASED ON THE COLLABORATION THAT WE HAVE WITH THE FOOTBALL FIRST, SINCE WE WENT TO EUROPE LAST YEAR IN MARCH, I WAS ABLE TO TALK TO PEOPLE THERE AND LIKE THE PRESIDENT AND VP, AND THEY MENTIONED THAT THEY WOULD WORK WITH US IF THAT WOULD BE IF THIS WOULD COME THROUGH. IT'S EXCITING TO SEE THAT THERE'S SO MANY FUNDS AVAILABLE AND THAT WE CAN USE THEM FOR GREAT THINGS, LIKE TAKING THE KIDS TO THE L.A. GALAXY, TO THE LAFC. WE HAD DONE THAT IN THE PAST.

WE HAVE DONATED MONEY TO THE THE LEAGUES HERE TO HELP, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN DO.

[00:15:01]

SO ONE OF OUR THINGS THAT WE WANT TO OFFER IS A AYSO TYPE RECREATION LEAGUE THAT ALLOWS KIDS AT AN ENTRY LEVEL TO COME IN, TRY IT OUT AND SEE IF THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT TO DO AND BE ABLE TO DEVELOP IN SUCH A WAY THAT IF THEY DO LOVE THE SPORT AND WANT TO PURSUE IT, THEY CAN THEN GO INTO THE COMPETITIVE LEAGUE AND OR INTO THE CLUB LEVEL LEAGUE. SO THAT'S ONE THING THAT THAT MAKES US DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS. THE OTHER ONE WOULD BE JUST THE OPPORTUNITY FOR GIRLS. WE IN SEEING HOW MANY TEAMS ON THE MEN'S, ON THE BOYS AND THEN ON THE GIRLS SIDE, YOU SEE A BIG DISPARITY IN OPPORTUNITIES FOR GIRLS. AND I THINK THAT'S A THAT'S A BIG, BIG OPPORTUNITY FOR US. I THINK THAT WE DO REALLY NEED OTHER CITIES LIKE PALM DESERT. LA QUINTA HAVE PROGRAMS THAT ARE PRETTY SUCCESSFUL. GRANTED, WE HAVE SOME REALLY GOOD SOCCER PLAYERS HERE THAT ARE THAT THAT ARE GIRLS WITH WITH THE COACHELLA GIRLS WINNING. CIF BUT BUT I THINK THAT WE ARE THAT THERE'S MUCH MORE POTENTIAL IF WE ARE IF WE ARE GIVING THESE GIRLS A CHANCE A COUPLE OF. WE GOT A COUPLE OF COD PLAYERS HERE, BOTH REPRESENTING THE MEN'S AND THE. THE GIRLS TEAMS, AND WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING IS, IS WORKING WITH THE COLLEGE TO, TO HELP DEVELOP COACHES AND REFEREES.

[00:20:02]

THERE'S AN NCAA COMPLIANCE, WHICH WILL REALLY HELP KIDS AND FAMILIES UNDERSTAND WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A, A PROFESSIONAL OR A COLLEGE ATHLETE, YOU KNOW, BEFORE BEING THE BEST PLAYER OUT ON THE FIELD IN THE STATE, YOU WERE GETTING A SCHOLARSHIP, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. NOWADAYS, IT'S, YEAH, YOU'RE A GREAT PLAYER, BUT HOW ARE YOU ACADEMICALLY? HOW ARE YOU AS A CITIZEN? HOW ARE YOU AS AN ALL AROUND PERSON? SO WE WANT TO HELP THESE KIDS THAT DO HAVE THAT DREAM, THAT DO HAVE THAT PASSION TO WANT TO GO TO THAT NEXT LEVEL, UNDERSTAND NOT ONLY THE KIDS, BUT THE PARENTS THAT, HEY, YOU'VE GOT TO DO A LOT MORE WORK TO BE ABLE TO GET THERE. WHICH HAVING SOCCER AS A MOTIVATIONAL TOOL TO BE ABLE TO IMPROVE YOUR ACADEMICS, TO BE ABLE TO IMPROVE YOUR, YOUR, YOUR, YOUR COMMUNITY STANDING. IT'S A GREAT TOOL. I HAVE KIDS, TWO KIDS THAT GREW UP IN THE SYSTEM AND HAVING THAT, THAT LEVERAGE WHERE THEY HAVE SOMETHING THEY LOVE AND WANT TO DO, YOU START TAKING THAT STUFF AWAY FROM THEM WHEN WHEN THEY'RE NOT GOING ON THE RIGHT PATH. AND IT, IT'S A GREAT TOOL. BUT ALL THAT TO SAY IS THAT, THAT, YES, WE LOVE SOCCER. WE WANT TO GIVE YOU GUYS A GREAT PROGRAM, BUT WE WANT TO DO STUFF FOR THE COMMUNITY, FOR THE KIDS AND, AND GIVE, GIVE THE COMMUNITY SOMETHING DIFFERENT. THE EXPERIENCE LEVEL WITH ALL THESE COACHES AND OTHER PLAYERS THAT WE HAVE ON, ON OUR PROGRAM WILL GIVE US A, GIVE US A CHANCE, A CHANCE TO PUT ON SOME GREAT CLINICS, SOME GREAT NOT ONLY CLINICS FOR THE HIGH LEVEL KIDS, WHICH THEY WHICH THEY REALLY NEED, BUT CLINICS FOR THE KIDS THAT ARE JUST FIGURING THIS THING OUT, THAT WANT TO PARTICIPATE AND GIVE THEMSELVES A CHANCE TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THE SPORT. SO CLINICS, THE OTHER THING WE WANT TO DO IS BECAUSE WE ARE ELEVATING KIDS TO PLAY AT A HIGHER LEVEL, WE HAVE ID CAMPS THAT WE'VE PUT ON OURSELVES. WE'VE GOT A NUMBER OF COACHES THAT HAVE EXPERIENCE DOING THAT.

WE BROUGHT IN DIVISION ONE, DIVISION TWO. COMMUNITY COLLEGE COACHES TO COME INTO THE VALLEY AND SCOUT OUT PLAYERS HERE, GIVING AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE KIDS TO SHOWCASE THEIR THEIR TALENTS AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE ABLE TO PLAY FOR SOME OF THESE COACHES. BUT, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF THAT IS GETTING INTERACTION WITH THESE COACHES AND REALLY HAVING QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSIONS WITH THEM AND UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT IS THAT THEY LOOK FOR TO BE ABLE TO TO BE ABLE TO COMPETE AT THE NEXT LEVEL. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'RE, WE'RE, WE ARE TRYING TO ADD A, A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT COULD REALLY BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY, SOCCER AND OPPORTUNITY OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES THESE KIDS AND THESE FAMILIES ARE, ARE JUST SO IN LOVE AND SO FOCUSED ON THEIR AREA THAT, THAT IT'S HARD TO LOOK PAST IT. BUT WE WANT TO, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO BROADEN KIDS HORIZONS AND GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO, TO NOT ONLY WANT TO PURSUE IT, BUT GIVE THEMSELVES THAT CHANCE TO PURSUE IT. LET ME GO OVER A FEW MORE THINGS BECAUSE I KNOW YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS HAD, YOU KNOW, OTHER QUESTIONS ABOUT ABOUT STRUCTURE, ABOUT ACCOUNTABILITY. AND LET ME JUST GO THROUGH MY NOTES HERE REAL QUICK.

[00:25:19]

I DON'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I DO HAVE ONE ONE OF THE PAGES THE TRAININGS COACHES AND REFEREES. DO THEY HAVE TRAINING EVERY YEAR OR CERTIFIED TRAINING. WE SHOULD BE HAVING CERTIFICATIONS EVERY YEAR. AND THAT'S THAT'S THE THING THAT WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE, LIKE WITH OUR COLLEGE, WITH OUR COLLEGE PLAYERS IS ENCOURAGING THEM TO PARTICIPATE. A LOT OF THESE GUYS COME IN, WANT TO PLAY, NEED JOBS TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD THE OPPORTUNITY. AND SO WE WANT TO PARTNER WITH THEM AND GIVE THEM REFEREE POSITIONS THAT THEY THEY GET TRAINED ON OR COACHING POSITIONS SPECIFICALLY, LIKE I SAID, ON THE ON THE GIRLS SIDE WITH THE RESOURCES THAT WE'LL PULL IN FROM THE REGISTRATION FEES AND REF FEES, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO PULL SOME OF THAT ASIDE, HIRE COLLEGE KIDS THERE FROM THE LOCAL AREA, GIVE THEM JOBS REFFING OR COACHING, AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO TO REALLY SEE IF THAT'S A PROFESSION THEY WANT TO DO GOING FORWARD. BECAUSE LIKE I SAY, NOT ALL OF THEM ARE GOING TO MAKE IT, BUT AT LEAST THEY'RE ALSO WORKING IN AN AREA THAT THAT THEY'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT. BUT WE UNDERSTAND THE SHORTAGE OF REFS AND WE WANT TO MAKE. WE WANT TO BE PROACTIVE IN THAT BY HAVING THESE CERTIFICATIONS, HAVING THESE CLASSES AVAILABLE, AND BY DOING IT LOCALLY, IT CAN BE OPEN TO NOT ONLY COACHELLA BUT THE SURROUNDING AREAS BECAUSE THERE DEFINITELY IS A NEED. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. WHAT'S WHAT'S YOUR REGISTRATION FEE LOOKING LIKE IT IS? IT DEPENDS ON THE AGE GROUP ADULT, BUT I THINK IT'S LIKE 30 OR 35. BUT WE'D BE WILLING TO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT IT STAYS. IT STAYS THE SAME BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THE, THE CHALLENGE OF, OF, OF AFFORDABILITY AT THE END, IT'S ABOUT GIVING THESE KIDS SOMETHING, AN EXPERIENCE THEY DESERVE. AND WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HELP EACH ONE OF THESE KIDS THAT ARE ACTUALLY COACHELLA KIDS APPLY FOR THAT, THAT REIMBURSEMENT THAT YOU GUYS OFFER. AND I KNOW YOU GUYS HAD MENTIONED IN ONE OF THE MEETINGS THAT, THAT YOU GUYS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT COACHELLA KIDS VERSUS OUTSIDE KIDS. THE REC LEAGUE WOULD BE SPECIFICALLY FOR COACHELLA KIDS, AND WE WOULD MANAGE THAT THROUGH THE REGISTRATION PROCESS. I KNOW THAT THE COMPETITIVE LEAGUE, THE COMPETITIVE LEAGUE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE TEAMS COMING OUTSIDE OF THE OUTSIDE OF THE CITY TO BE ABLE TO COMPETE JUST BECAUSE OF HOW GOOD THE COMPETITION HERE IS. SO CLUBS, CLUBS THAT THAT PLAY IN AT THE HIGHER LEVEL WILL COME PLAY IN THE SPRING HERE AT COACHELLA BECAUSE OF HOW HOW COMPETITIVE YOU GUYS LEAGUES ARE. SO THAT'S A LITTLE THAT'S A LITTLE HARD TO, TO, TO MAKE A CHANGE ON. BUT WE WOULD OFFSET THAT BY OPERATING BY OFFERING THE THE LEAGUES TO ONLY COACHELLA KIDS. THANK YOU, THANK YOU SIR. ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS? NO QUESTIONS. ONE MORE THING THAT I KNOW THAT WE

[00:30:04]

THAT'S MY MAIN CONCERN BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF THEM WERE WERE SINCE THE ORIGINAL ONES THAT I WAS HEARING WHEN IT ALL STARTED WAS THAT IT WAS A CLUB. YES. THE THING MY PROBLEM WITH THE CLUBS IS THAT IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE. I DO HAVE A KID THAT PLAYS. YES, CLUBS IS LIKE 15, $1,700. I HAVE, I HAD TWO THAT PLAYED. SO I KNOW HOW EXPENSIVE IT GETS. YES. YEAH. SO THE RECREATIONAL LEVEL WOULD BE THE THE MOST AFFORDABLE FOR ALL THE KIDS THAT WANT TO PLAY AND EVEN THE COMPETITIVE. YOU GUYS HAVE A VERY COMPETITIVE LEAGUE HERE. THE EXISTING ONE IS VERY COMPETITIVE AND THAT'S WHY I SAY CLUB TEAMS FROM OTHER ORGANIZATIONS COME HERE, REGISTER TO PLAY IN THE SPRING TO PLAY YOU GUYS BECAUSE OF BECAUSE OF THE COMPETITION. BUT ON TOP OF THAT, THERE'S ANOTHER LEVEL THAT'S THE CLUB. AND THAT IS ONLY DESIGNED FOR THE PEOPLE THAT THAT HAVE THE FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO DO IT. AND AND THAT'S REALLY LED BY FUNDRAISING, BUT DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES. SO THE, THE MAJORITY OF THE KIDS WILL FALL UNDER RECREATIONAL, RECREATIONAL AND THE, THE, THE COMPETITIVE LEAGUE THAT YOU GUYS CURRENTLY HAVE NOW CLUB IS DIFFERENT. YEAH. SO, AND WE DO REALIZE THAT THE PART OF THE VISION FOR US IS TO HAVE A PIPELINE OF KIDS THAT ARE JUST STARTING TO LEARN HOW TO PLAY SOCCER TO KIDS THAT CAN GO PLAY AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL, BOTH COMMUNITY COLLEGE OR DIVISION ONE, AND POSSIBLY EVEN AT THE AT THE PROFESSIONAL LEVEL. SO WE HAVE TOUCH POINTS AT EACH ONE OF THOSE, BUT WE UNDERSTAND THE COSTS ARE DIFFERENT. WE WANT TO MAKE IT AS ACCESSIBLE AS WE CAN TO EVERYBODY. THE CLUB, ALL THE, THE TWO DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS THAT YOU GUYS HAVE NOW BOTH HAVE CLUB LEVEL TEAMS AND, AND THEY ARE, THEY ARE A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE. WE'D BE WILLING TO OFFER THAT SAME TYPE OF DEAL TO ANY OTHER CLUB TEAM THAT IS STILL CONTINUING TO PLAY, BECAUSE THEY DO NEED TO HAVE A FACILITY TO PLAY. AND, AND WITH THE CAVEAT WITH THE CONDITION THAT THEY PARTICIPATE IN OUR LEAGUES, IT'S NOT JUST YOU COME IN AND USE OUR FIELDS AND, AND, AND WE'LL TAKE CARE OF IT. IT'S LIKE, NO, YOU, YOU GUYS HAVE TO BE A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY. YOU GUYS HAVE TO YOU CAN'T JUST COME IN AND USE THIS THING, BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY AND WE WILL HELP SCHOLARSHIP SOME OF THESE KIDS. BECAUSE THE REALITY IS, IS THAT 1500. THAT'S JUST FOR THE THAT'S JUST TO PLAY. THAT'S NOT TRAVELING, THAT'S NOT TOURNAMENTS. THAT'S NOT.

YEAH. WE THANK YOU. YES. BECAUSE MY, MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT IT WILL, YOU KNOW, DOWN THE LINE THAT WE'RE GOING TO SEE THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF PRIORITY TOWARDS JUST THE CLUB AND THEN PUT THE REC ON THE SIDE. THAT WOULD BE MY ONLY CONCERN. KNOW THIS, YOUR GUYS'S YOUR GUYS'S FIELDS ARE FOR THE COMMUNITY, THE CLUBS. IT'S GREAT IF WE CAN HELP THEM, BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF THE THE KIDS THAT THAT DESERVE IT AND THEY CAN'T AFFORD TO BE AT THAT HIGHER LEVEL. AND THAT'S WHY THAT'S WHY I FEEL LIKE THE RECREATIONAL PART IS THE BIGGEST PART THAT'S MISSING SO MANY KIDS THAT DON'T HAVE THAT CHANCE UNLESS YOU KNOW SOMEBODY OR YOUR KID IS REALLY GOOD, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE PLAYING ON A TEAM. SO WE WANT TO GIVE ALL THESE KIDS THAT ARE TRYING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT MIGHT TAKE 2 OR 3 YEARS FOR YOU TO FALL IN LOVE WITH A SPORT, OR YOU MAY BE A PARENT. THAT'S LIKE, I NEED TO GIVE MY KID SOMETHING TO DO TO GET HIM OFF HIS BUTT AND STOP PLAYING GAMES.

HE NEEDS TO BE OUT THERE LEARNING HOW TO BE ON A TEAM, LEARNING HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH KIDS AND ADULTS. THAT'S WHAT RECREATIONAL LEAGUE IS SET UP FOR. AND, AND THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I'M REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT, MAKING SURE THAT THAT THERE ARE THOSE KINDS OF OPPORTUNITIES. THE CLUB GUYS ARE GOING TO BE TAKEN CARE OF, WHETHER WE CAN MAKE ROOM FOR THEM OR WHETHER THEY HAVE TO FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE. BUT THE REALITY IS, IS THIS IS A COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT THAT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THOSE KIDS ARE TAKEN CARE OF. AND THOSE ARE THOSE HAVE BEEN THE TALKING POINTS OF THE OTHER LEAGUES. THEY'VE BEEN HAMMERED TO YOU GUYS. AND THOSE ARE LIKE FALSE, FALSE INFORMATION. AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IN THE PAST, LIKE WE HAVE SAID IT AND SAID IT AND SAID IT, BUT IT'S LIKE, THAT'S THE ONE THING THAT THEY WANT TO PUT FEAR IN THE COMMUNITY, KNOW THE NEW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TAKE AWAY YOUR SPOT. OH NO, THE NEW PEOPLE KNOW THE NEW PEOPLE OR THE NEW GROUP OR THE NEW ASSOCIATION WANT THE BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY IN A DIFFERENT WAY, IN A DIFFERENT LEVEL. SO ALL THAT, WE'VE HEARD IT, WE WATCHED THE NEWS, WE SEE THEM FALSE, FALSE, FALSE. IT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE ABOUT. WE'RE HERE TELLING YOU THE FACTS. WE WROTE IT. WE HAVE IT IN WRITING. IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN HAMMERING AND HAMMERING AND HAMMERING AND WE HEAR IT, BUT

[00:35:03]

ENTONCES YO PIENSO Q TIENEN Q VER Y TIENEN Q SABER.

YO QUIERO LA PALABRA A LA SECRETARIA POR FAVOR PARA Q ELLA PONGA SUS PUNTOS DE VISTA. GRACIAS SI TIENE ALGUNA PREGUNTA. YA CUANDO. HI. GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS JANET AVILA. I BEGAN WORKING WITH SISA BACK IN 2014 AS A REGISTER AND WEB DESIGNER. I CONTINUE ALONG SISA TODAY AS AN OFFICE MANAGER AND REGISTER. I REMAIN COMMITTED TO THIS ORGANIZATION BECAUSE I TRULY BELIEVE IN THE OPPORTUNITIES IT PROVIDES TO THE YOUTH AND ADULTS OF OUR COMMUNITY. SISA. SORRY SISA, ESPECIALLY MEANINGFUL TO ME IN A PERSONAL LEVEL AS I ALSO PLAYED IN THE LEAGUE AND MY CHILD IS NOW PLAYING IN THE YOUNGEST DIVISION WE OFFER. IT'S A FULL CYCLE EXPERIENCE THAT REFLECTS THE IMPACT OF THIS PROGRAM AND ACROSS GENERATIONS, LIKE MANY OTHERS WHO CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE, ONE OF SCISSORS GUIDING GUIDING PRINCIPLES HAS ALWAYS BEEN INCLUSION, ENSURING THAT PLAYERS OF ALL SKILL LEVELS AND ECONOMIC BACKGROUNDS HAVE BEEN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE. TODAY, WE SERVE OVER 2000 PARTICIPANTS, MANY FROM LOW INCOME FAMILIES AND FAMILIES WITH MULTIPLE CHILDREN. WE ARE ALSO SUPPORTED BY MORE THAN 300 COACHES AND VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE FROM OUR COMMUNITY. OUR BOARD IS MADE UP OF 13 INDIVIDUALS, FIVE WHO ARE VOLUNTEERS AND EIGHT WHO ARE STAFF MEMBERS. WE ALSO HAVE A REFEREE COORDINATOR AND HE HAS

[01:00:03]

BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, EDUCATION IS FIRST IN OUR MINDS. WHEN I STARTED MY FIRST ORGANIZATION, I WAS 15 YEARS OLD. I PROBABLY GOING TO BE 50 THIS YEAR NONSTOP. AND THE IN THE SOCCER, BECAUSE OUR COMMUNITY IN ORANGE COUNTY DID NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THEY'RE BEING PRESENTED TODAY. SO WE STARTED OUR OWN PROGRAM OR EVERYTHING FROM DAY ONE. OUR BATTLE WAS AGAINST BASEBALL. IT WAS IN OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, YOU KNOW, BASEBALL, FOOTBALL, BECAUSE THAT WAS A TRADITIONAL SPORTS. WE DECIDED TO, TO. COME AND BE PART OF CISA. AND I'M GOING TO BE VERY BLUNT WITH YOU GUYS BECAUSE OF THE COST OF EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING AROUND IN ORANGE COUNTY, EVERYTHING IS OUT OF PROPORTION. I MEAN, YOU HAVE CLUBS THAT ARE UP TO 5000 A SEASON IN LA AND ALL THIS AND THAT. SO WHEN WE DID THE RESEARCH OF CSI, WE WERE AMAZED THAT KIDS COME AND PLAY AND THEY PAY $160 TO PLAY CSL FOR TWO SEASONS, WHICH IS THE FALL AND IN THE SPRING. AND NOT ONLY DID DID DID THEY SEE IT, THEY TOLD US, BUT WE VERIFIED BECAUSE I'VE ALSO BEEN A MEMBER OF COUNCIL SINCE I WAS 17, WHEN I GOT MY FIRST COACHING LICENSE AND MY REFEREE PATCH TO ALSO BE THAT BECAUSE THERE IS A BIG SHORTAGE OF REFEREES SINCE BACK THEN. SO IN BRINGING A PATH, THE IRONY OF ALL THIS IS THAT CISA HAS EVERYTHING. THEY HAVE THE RECREATIONAL COMPONENT, THEY HAVE THE COMPETITIVE COMPONENT THAT'S ALREADY BEEN IN PLACE FOR YEARS. WE'RE WE'RE NOT HERE TO INVENT ANYTHING NEW IS WE'RE HERE TO HELP THEM TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL, WHICH IS JUST ALREADY IN THE NATIONAL LEVEL AT A VERY TO NOTHING COST.

WITH OUR HELP, EVERYBODY HAS CONNECTIONS. WE DO THE LAST EVENT THAT WE DID WITH THEM ON THE DAY OF THE DEAD. WE HAD COACHES FROM PUEBLA, MEXICO. WE HAD COACHES FROM JUAREZ THAT ARE INTERESTED IN A LOT OF THE KIDS FROM COACHELLA AREA. AND WE ALSO HAVE CONNECTIONS WITH DELHI GALAXY. WE HAVE AFC AND EVERYTHING ELSE BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF OUR PROGRAM. THAT'S PART OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING. ME AS AN INDIVIDUAL AND AS A PERSON, I MY CLUB IS LA MAQUINA FC, WHICH IN THE US OPEN CUP IT'S THE. RECREATIONAL TEAM. YOU COULD SAY THAT IN THE US OPEN CUP HAS GONE THE FURTHEST TO BEAT, ALMOST BEAT LA GALAXY ON A SEMI ON A QUARTER FINALS.

AND IF YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW WHAT THE US OPEN CUP TOURNAMENT IS, IT'S ONE OF THE BIGGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT TOURNAMENT IN THE UNITED STATES. WHEN US SOCCER PRESENTS THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR RECREATIONAL OR NONCOMPETITIVE TEAMS TO PLAY AGAINST PROFESSIONAL TEAMS, AND YOU ESCALATE. SO WE WERE GLADLY ABLE TO BEAT EVERYBODY IN THE UPSL, EVERYBODY IN THE USL AND ONE MLS TEAM, WHICH WAS IN PORTLAND. AND THEN WE LOST AGAINST GALAXY AT THEIR HOME, WHICH WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR OUR PLAYERS, FOR EVERYBODY. SO THE OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE.

THE, THE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THOUGH, IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE YOU GUYS WITH IS COMMUNITY ALWAYS COMES FIRST, REGARDLESS WHETHER IT'S A NEW ORGANIZATION OR WHETHER IT'S AN ORGANIZATION THAT'S BEEN THERE THE LONGEST. ONE OF THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE IS. AND I WANT YOU GUYS TO STAY WITH SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR IS WHEN PEOPLE START USING THE WORD BUSINESS, IT DEVIATES FROM THE SPORTS SIDE, IT DEVIATES FROM THE HUMAN SIDE. AND THAT'S A BIG RED FLAG FOR US. SO WHEN WE CAME WITH CSI AND WE SAW, I MET WITH THE THE DIRECTORS OF THE

[01:05:02]

NOT BECAUSE I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE LEAGUE, BUT THEY GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY.

BOTH OF THEM TRAINED THEM, AND I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S JUST I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT THAT THEY SAID THAT NO OTHER KID WILL. EVERY KID WILL GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY HERE, YOU KNOW, AND AS FAR AS COACHES FROM COLLEGE, I KNOW A LOT OF THEM AND I PLAY WITH A LOT OF THEM. I'M NOT A GOOD SOCCER PLAYER, BUT I GOT THE PRIVILEGE TO PLAY WITH THEM.

THEY WILL CHARGE A FEE. I KNOW THAT FOR A FACT BECAUSE I STILL PAY FOR THE SPONSORSHIP. SO MY COMPANY GIVES MONEY TO TO JIMMY. AND SO I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT'S GOING TO WORK. THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO CLARIFY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. YES. I HAVE NO QUESTIONS FOR THEM. NO. OKAY.

SO WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD. BUT ACTUALLY I DO HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION. AND IT'S BESIDES GOING TO BE ACTUALLY TO COACHELLA FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION REALLY QUICK, SUPER SIMPLE. I DON'T NEED A LOT BECAUSE WE WERE RUNNING ON TIME. I KNOW YOU GUYS DID FOCUS A LOT ON THE KITS, BUT WHAT ABOUT ADULTS? I DIDN'T REALLY HEAR MUCH ABOUT ADULTS AS I THOUGHT I WOULD HEAR. IT'S ALL WRITTEN, BUT WE DO HAVE IT. EXCUSE ME, CAN YOU PLEASE GO UP TO THE MICROPHONE? THANK YOU. YEAH, YEAH. SO JUST LIKE THE COMPETITIVE LEAGUE, YOU DIDN'T HEAR A WHOLE LOT ABOUT THE COMPETITIVE LEAGUE BECAUSE IT IS EXHAUSTING AND IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE CHANGING. WE ARE GOING TO BE OFFERING THAT ALONG WITH WITH THE ADULTS. THE ADULTS ARE AS LONG AS THERE IS SPACE AND AVAILABLE, YOU KNOW, THE ADULTS ARE GOING TO HAVE THEIR PROGRAMS AND WE'RE LOOKING TO EXPAND DIFFERENT OFFERINGS FOR THEM AS WELL. BUT, BUT MAINLY, MAINLY THE FACILITIES ARE FOR KIDS AND FOR, YOU KNOW, MAKING SURE THAT THEY ALL GET OPPORTUNITY. BUT, BUT NO, THERE'S THE, THE ADULT LEAGUES ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

AS YOU HEARD FROM ALMA, IT'S LIKE 12, 13, 14, 1500 ADULTS THAT WANT TO, THEY WANT TO CONTINUE TO PLAY. AND, AND WE'RE HONORING THAT. IF YOU GUYS, IF YOU GUYS LOOK THROUGH OUR PRESENTATION, YOU'LL SEE ALL THOSE POINTS ARE ARE VERY WELL DOCUMENTED IN THERE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. OKAY, SO THAT'S IT. SO WE'LL BE MOVING. SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO OPEN IT FOR PUBLIC COMMENT. WE DO HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC COMMENT REQUESTS. IF THERE'S ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WHO WANTS TO TURN IN ADDITIONAL PUBLIC COMMENT REQUESTS. JUST NEED TO MAKE IT THROUGH. OH, SURE. YEAH. YOU GOT. THE TIMER. SHOULD BE UP HERE. IS THERE A WHERE CAN WE GET FORMS TO? YEAH, SHE HAS THEM RIGHT THERE. YEAH. SO OPEN UP TO THE PUBLIC. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE GOING TO OPEN UP, PLEASE. THREE MINUTES. POR TRES MINUTOS. AQUI ESTA NOCHE TODOS TENEMOS. SO SHOULD WE START UP WITH. YES. SO I'M JUST GOING TO CALL THESE IN THE ORDER THAT THEY WERE TURNED IN. SO. RAUL VARGAS THAT'S TRUE. YES. GO AHEAD. I GOTTA GO TO.

SOMETHING TRULY MADE DIFFERENCE TO MY LIFE. CEESA SOCCER ASSOCIATION. I'VE BEEN A PART OF. WHEN I FIRST JOINED, I HONESTLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT, BUT VERY QUICKLY I REALIZED IT WAS MORE THAN JUST A PLACE TO PLAY SOCCER. IT WAS. IT BECAME A SPACE WHERE I CAN GROW NOT AS A PLAYER, BUT AS A PERSON. I THOUGHT MY DISCIPLINE, RESPONSIBILITY AND VALUE OF WORKING AS A TEAM. OVER TIME, MY CONNECTION TO THE ASSOCIATION GREW EVEN MORE.

TODAY, I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT I DON'T JUST PARTICIPATE. I ALSO WORK FOR THE ASSOCIATION. I'M A COACH AND I'M A SOCCER MOM WITH A CHILD WHO PLAYS HERE. THAT HAS GIVEN ME UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE OF BECAUSE OF EXPERIENCE OF THIS PROGRAM FROM EVERY SIDES. AS A COACH, I GET TO HELP GUIDE AND SUPPORT PLAYERS AS THEY GROW, JUST LIKE OTHERS ONCE DID FOR ME AS A PARENT, I GET TO SEE FIRSTHAND HOW MUCH THIS ENVIRONMENT HELPS BUILD CONFIDENCE, SKILLS, AND FRIENDSHIPS IN OUR CHILDREN'S. AS A PART OF THE STAFF, I SEE THE HARD WORK AND DEDICATION THAT GOES INTO MAKING THE PROGRAM RUN FOR EVERYONE. ONCE OF THESE THINGS I APPRECIATE THE MOST IS HOW ACCESSIBLE AND AFFORDABLE IT IS. SOMETIMES OPPORTUNITIES LIKE THESE CAN BE HARD TO REACH BECAUSE OF COSTS, BUT THE ASSOCIATION MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR SO MANY FAMILIES TO BE INVOLVED. THAT ALONE MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITY. ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IS THE SUPPORT FROM THE COACHES TO THE STAFFS, EVEN TEAM MATES.

THEY'RE ALWAYS SOMEONE SORRY, SOMEONE WILLING TO HELP GUIDE AND ENCOURAGE YOU. THAT KIND OF ENVIRONMENT PUSHES YOU TO BE A BETTER AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. EVEN ON THESE DAYS. I ALSO WANT TO MOMENT AND RECOGNIZE THE LEADERSHIP BEHIND THE ASSOCIATION. I PERSONALLY SEE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES AND CRITICISM OF HOW LEADING SOMETHING LIKE THIS, AND DESPITE THE PRESIDENT CONTINUES TO STRONG STAND WITH CONFIDENCE, WITH PRIDE TO ALMA SERVICE.

THANK YOU FOR THE STRENGTH AND LEADERSHIP, FOR NEVER GIVING UP FOR US. ASSOCIATION FOR THE PERSONAL AND ASSOCIATION HELPED ME BUILD CONFIDENCE, IMPROVE MY WORK ETHIC AND STAY FOCUSED ON MY GOALS. I SHARE, I SHOWED ME WITH THE RIGHT SUPPORT SYSTEM, YOU CAN ACHIEVE MORE THAN YOU THINK. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. RAIMUNDO CANTERAS. YEAH. HELLO. I'M FROM COACH FROM COACHELLA FIRE FC. PREPARE SOMETHING FOR ME REAL QUICK. OKAY. WELL WE ARE HERE TODAY TO STAND UP FOR SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THE GAME. WE ARE HERE TO DEFEND OPPORTUNITY, COMMUNITY AND SIMPLE, RIGHT? FOR EVERY CHILD TO PLAY THE SPORT THEY LOVE. SOCCER IS SUPPOSED TO BELONG TO EVERYONE. IT DOESN'T CARE WHERE YOU COME FROM, HOW MUCH MONEY YOUR FAMILY HAS, OR WHAT NEIGHBORHOOD YOU GREW UP IN. BUT TODAY THAT TRUTH IS BEING CHALLENGED. PRIVATIZING THE IS TURNING PUBLIC FIELDS INTO RESTRICTED SPACES, AND YOUTH SOCCER IS BECOMING

[01:20:06]

ALL THEY WANTED WAS A REAL OPPORTUNITY, A PLACE TO PLAY, TO GROW AND TO PROVE THEMSELVES.

AND IN JUST FOUR MONTHS, THEY DID MORE THAN JUST JUST SHOW UP. THEY BECAME CHAMPIONS. THAT SHOULD TELL US EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW. TALENT IS EVERYWHERE. OPPORTUNITY IS NOT.

IF WE ALLOW SOCCER FIELD TO BECOME CONTROLLED BY SYSTEMS THAT PRIORITIZE MONEY OVER ACCESS, WE ARE GOING TO LOSE ENTIRE GENERATIONS OF PLAYERS WHO NEVER EVEN GET TO GET TO SEE WITH POTENTIAL, WITH KIDS, WITH POTENTIAL DISCIPLINE AND DREAMS WILL BE LEFT ON THE SIDELINES. NOT BECAUSE THEY LACK ABILITY, BUT BECAUSE THEY LACK RESOURCE RESOURCES. THIS IS NOT WHAT THIS SPORTS REPRESENTS. WE NEED TO PROTECT OUR PUBLIC SPACES. WE NEED TO FIGHT FOR ACCESS. WE NEED TO TAKE TO MAKE SURE THAT NO CHILD IS TOLD YOU CAN'T PLAY SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T PAY. BECAUSE WHEN YOU WHEN YOU GIVE KIDS A CHANCE, THEY DON'T JUST PLAY.

THEY GROW. THEY BUILD CHARACTER, DISCIPLINE, RESPECT AND CONFIDENCE. THEY LEARN HOW TO PUSH PAST LIMITS. THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY HAD. COACHELLA. FIRE OR FC IS PROOF OF THAT. SO THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT ONE TEAM. THIS IS ABOUT EVERY KID WHO IS WAITING FOR A CHANCE. EVERY KID WHO DESERVES A FIELD, A BALL, A FAIR SHOT. LET'S NOT TAKE THAT AWAY FROM THEM. LET'S PROTECT THE GAME FOR EVERYONE. SO WITH THAT SAID, I BELIEVE WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING, WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING. I MEAN, I DON'T SEE WHY CHANGE SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN HERE FOR SO LONG FOR 17 YEARS.

COME ON. LIKE, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? IT'S LIKE WHAT SHE SAID, THERE'S BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM THAT'S BEEN DOING. SHE'S BEEN DOING. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GONE BY SO LONG.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. D'ANGELO RODRIGUEZ. GOOD AFTERNOON. HELLO EVERYONE. MY NAME IS D'ANGELO RODRIGUEZ COACH FOR THE 2017. NEXT TO ME IS ONE OF MY ASSISTANT COACHES. I WANT TO START BY SAYING I THINK WE ALL CAN AGREE YOUTH SPORTS ISN'T JUST A GAME. THEY BUILD TRUST, COMMUNITY AND A SAFE PLACE FOR KIDS TO GROW. FOR 17 YEARS, SISA HAS SUPPORTED FAMILIES, DEVELOP PLAYERS AND CREATE CREATE A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT. THAT KIND OF TRUST TAKES YEARS.

SO WE HAVE TO ASK, ARE WE IMPROVING SOMETHING OR RISKING SOMETHING THAT ALREADY WORKS? TAKING THIS AWAY ISN'T JUST CHANGE. IT COULD MAKE SOMETHING THAT ISN'T THIS. IT COULD MAKE SOMETHING STRONG. THIS ISN'T ABOUT RESISTING CHANGE. IT'S ABOUT PROTECTING WHAT'S ALREADY GOOD AND CONTINUING TO GIVE THE KIDS WHAT THEY DESERVE. I'M THE SON OF DANIEL RODRIGUEZ, ALSO KNOWN AS THE PROPHET WHO RECENTLY PASSED AWAY. A TRUSTED MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY. SORRY.

COME ON BRO. AND A HOMETOWN HERO AWARD WINNER FOR HIS IMPACT ON AND OFF THE FIELD. HE HELPED GUIDE KIDS BEYOND SOCCER AND BELIEVED IN SISA BECAUSE. BECAUSE IT WAS A PLACE WHERE HE AND HIS FAMILY FELT HOME. LET'S LET'S STAND BEHIND WHAT WE KNOW. I THINK WE SHOULD KEEP CESAR IN THE IN THE KEEP CESAR LEAGUE. THANK YOU.

JOSEPH VIDAL. VIDAL. JOSE VIDAL VIDAL ALREADY WENT UP THERE. OH, I WAS SUPPOSED TO

[01:25:07]

WE'RE OPENING DOORS. I NOW ALSO WORK WITH DOSA, CREATING THOSE ENVIRONMENTS TO BRING PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS OR EX-PROFESSIONAL OR SCOUTS FROM EVERYWHERE. WE'RE DOING IT ALREADY. MY SON WAS ALREADY ABLE TO TRAIN AND WAS THIS CLOSE TO PLAYING FOR MEXICO JUAREZ FC IN MEXICO, BUT BECAUSE OF AN INJURY, HE WAS, YOU KNOW, BROUGHT BACK EMILIANO BEHIND ME, HAS THREE INVITATIONS ALREADY AMERICA, PUEBLA AND JUAREZ. WE'RE NOT GOING TO STOP WHEN YOU WANT TO BRING SOMETHING THAT IS ALREADY HERE. WHY IS IT THAT NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT? LIKE LIKE I SAID, I DON'T HAVE TO GO ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND PUT WHERE I'M AT. WHAT AM I DOING? I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING AND I'M DOING IT FOR THE COMMUNITY AND I'M NOT GOING TO STOP. I'VE BEEN IN THIS LEAGUE FOR 13 YEARS AND I'VE BEEN PART OF IT FOR TEN YEARS, AND I'M NOT GOING TO STOP. AND I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT ME. LIKE JORGE SAID, IF THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING GOOD, RIGHT? SO I'M NOT GOING TO STOP. I'M HERE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND I'M GOING TO STAY HERE. THANK YOU. HAVE A GOOD NIGHT. AS. HABLANDO MUCHO AQUI DE ESTO ES MUCHO HABLAR DE VACAS FONDOS Y ESTRUCTURAS DEPORTIVAS. PERO OLVIDADO LO MAS IMPORTANTE LO MAS POR LO CUAL TODOS ESTAMOS AQUI DESPUÉS DE LAS CALLES ES UNA OPORTUNIDAD DE FUTBOL UN ESCUELA UNA HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL ESTA ESCUCHANDO POQUITO A UNO DE LOS MAS PARA MAS DE LOS MAS GRANDES FILOSOFOS DEPORTIVOS ES MEJOR PRACTICANDO FUTBOL EN LAS VEGAS, VIVIENTES Y COMO TANTOS. Y AHORA ES UNA CARTA PARA LA SOCIEDAD, DIJO ES IMPORTANTE YO EMPIEZA EL PRIMERO HEMOS ESTADO TRABAJANDO VAMOS A ESTAR EVOLUCIONANDO DESDE AQUI EL CAMPEON NACIONAL CON OTRO CLUB PORQUE NO TENEMOS PARTICIPATION EVOLUCIONAR EL SIGUIENTE NIVEL EVOLUCIONAR SIENDO LA COSTA.

SENALO CALDERON CON MAZATLAN EN PRIMERA DIVISION DE MÉXICO, JIMMY CONOZCO A TODOS ES PARA DONDE VAN QUIEREN LA Q AQUI LA GENTE SE PRESENTA COMO UNA LIGA.

PERO ES UN CLUB ES UN PERO ESPEREMOS SI CU ME EQUIVOQUÉ YO ESPEREMOS SE VAN A COBRA CUANDO

[01:30:08]

Y ESO ES LO MAS IMPORTANTE POR ESO. YO ESTOY CON TODO EL TIEMPO ES IGUAL. COACHELLA VALLEY DESERT SOCCER LEAGUE TAMBIÉN USA EL LA MEJOR DECISION Y LA MEJOR DECISION DE AQUI. VAMOS A NADA. NO VAMOS A LA NADA. TRABAJANDO BIEN GRACIAS. JOSE. GERARDO. HI THERE. MY NAME IS JOSE. EARLIER YOU PRESENTED ME. I AM A COACH AT COACHELLA VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL.

YEAH. SO I FIRSTHAND, LIKE, I AM NOT HERE TO REPRESENT ANY SPECIFIC LEAGUE OR ANY ENTITY.

I'M HERE TO REPRESENT THE VALLEY. LIKE AS A HIGH SCHOOL COACH, I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO SEE REFS, COACHES, ALL THESE PEOPLE. PARENTS LIKE TAKE THE TIME THEY DO TO SUPPORT THE KIDS. AND IT'S NOT EASY TO SACRIFICE YOUR EVENINGS OR NIGHTS, YOUR MORNINGS DOING SOCCER HERE IN THE VALLEY. AND THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AN ENTITY OR LEAGUE, RIGHT? IT'S EVERYTHING TO DO WITH LIKE THE COMMUNITY, THE PEOPLE I KNOW, PEOPLE I'VE, I'VE MET A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE HERE THAT ARE PART OF SEVERAL LEAGUES. I'VE PLAYED IN THOSE LEAGUES GROWING UP. I KNOW WHAT THEY OFFER, BUT A FUNCTIONING ENTITY DOESN'T MEAN IT'S A GOOD FUNCTIONING ENTITY.

LIKE THERE'S MOMENTS WHERE I FEEL GIRL SOCCER, FOR EXAMPLE. WHY IS IT THAT NO LEAGUE OFFERS A RECREATIONAL GIRL SPECIFIC. IF YOU FIND A GIRL'S TEAM OUT THERE, IT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE A CLUB TEAM PLAYING FROM OUT OF THE VALLEY, FROM OUT OF THE COACHELLA CITY, PLAYING HERE, PLAYING FROM LA QUINTA, FROM PALM DESERT. YOU RARELY FIND A GIRLS SOCCER TEAM HERE OR A LEAGUE. YOU'LL FIND GIRLS PLAYING IN BOYS TEAMS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY OFFER. BUT NOT EVERY PARENT IS COMFORTABLE ENOUGH WITH LETTING THEIR GIRLS PLAY WITH WITH BOYS AT THAT AGE.

AND THAT'S FINE, RIGHT? AND I COACH AT CV SO MANY TIMES WHERE I ASK PLAYERS, HEY, WHERE DO YOU PLAY? WHERE DO YOU COME FROM? NOT ONE STORY HERE. THESE LEAGUES, I MEAN, RARE, SURE, THEY COME BY, BUT A LOT OF THEM THAT COME BY THAT ARE NOT CLUB. THEY PLAY AYSO, LA QUINTA, AYSO, INDIO. WHY IS IT THAT OUR PLAYERS FROM HERE IN COACHELLA HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE OF THE CITY TO GO FIND THEIR SOCCER? THAT IS INSANE TO ME. LIKE, I DON'T I DON'T THINK THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE. THE ONE THING ABOUT LIKE COMING TO THIS, I WASN'T PLANNING TO SPEAK, BUT NOT ONCE DID I HEAR EXISTING LEAGUES TALK ABOUT HOW THEY CAN ADD TO WHAT THEY'RE ALREADY OFFERING THERE. EVERYBODY'S SAYING THAT IT'S OKAY. IT'S GOOD. WHAT'S OFFERING NOW? IT'S OKAY. IT'S STABLE. SURE, IT'S STABLE, BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH. LIKE, ARE WE OKAY WITH CONFORMING FOR WHAT WE HAVE NOW FOR THE KIDS? LIKE, WHY NOT OFFER MORE LIKE OPPORTUNITIES TO GO SEE PROFESSIONAL TEAMS, ALL THIS STUFF COOL. LIKE TAKING THEM OUT OF THE VALLEY AND SHOWING THEM THINGS IS COOL. BUT WHAT CAN WE DO HERE TO GROW? I DON'T I DIDN'T HEAR MUCH OF THAT. SO MY BIGGEST QUESTION, AND THAT'S FOR EVERYBODY, THE THREE LEAGUES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED, WHEREVER IT GOES, IT'S WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO ADD TO WHAT IS ALREADY A REALLY GOOD LIKE SOCCER CITY, RIGHT? LET'S NOT PRETEND LIKE IT'S NOT A GOOD SOCCER CITY, BUT WE WANT MORE AND IT'S OKAY TO ASK MORE. AS A COMMUNITY, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ASK FOR MORE. AND 10S ALSO FIELD USAGE, RIGHT FIELD USAGE. A LOT OF KIDS GO TO PARKS AT 630 AND THEY GET PUSHED OUT OF THE PARK BECAUSE TEAMS HAVE GAMES WHEN TEAMS ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THEIR SPECIFIC TIME.

AND THAT'S NOT FAIR. YEAH. MIRIAM PEREZ. BUENO PUES EL DIA DE HOY YO REPRESENTAR VENGO HACER LA VOZ PRINCIPALMENTE DE LOS NINOS ESTAN EN EL CAMPO EN EL CASO MI HIJO ESTA CON ELLOS CON EL PROFESOR VALENCIA DE MI HIJO TAMBIÉN DE LAS NINAS PRECISAMENTE NO HAY LLEGAS AQUI PARA ELLA'S A MENOS DE ESTADO EN UN CLUB DESDE PEQUENAS NO HAY OPCIONES Y OPCIONES INCISA.

TAMPOCO LIGAS PARA LAS MAMAS PARA LOS PAPAS. Q QUEREMOS ESTAR AHI ES UN MEMENTO Q ES FAMILIAR DONDE TODOS PODEMOS ESTAR AHI DONDE SACAMOS TIEMPO DESPUÉS DEL TRABAJO PARA ESTAR AHI DONDE VIVIMOS DONDE LOS EQUIPOS SE HACEN FAMILIA. Y ESTO ES MAS

[01:35:05]

ESTOS RECURSOS Q TENEMOS Q NO HAY EN TODAS PARTES DE VERDAD NO HACEMOS CANSADO DE BUSCAR Y SOBRE TODO Q TAMBIÉN EN LOS ENTRENADORES. HAY MUCHO COMPROMISO PORQUE REALMENTE MUCHAS VECES NO COBRAN POR ENSENAR A LOS NINOS Y NO SOLO ENSENAR EL DEPORTE ENSENANDO VALORES EL TRABAJO EN EQUIPO EL COMPROMISO LA DISCIPLINA EL KALOS APRENDEN A EQUIVOCADA Y HACERLO DE NUEVO A PERDER CON DIGNIDAD Y A LOS ADVERSARIOS. TODO ESTO ESTA EN EL CAMPO Y LO PODEMOS VER EN LOS NINOS DE COACHELLA EN LOS ADULTOS TAMBIÉN SIEMPRE HAY UN RESPETO Y PUES AL FINAL SOLO QUIERO TERMINAR CON CON ESTA ESTA PHRASE Q ES SI NOSOTROS SOMOS LOS ANOTHER Q ES EL FUTBOL SABIAMOS Q ESTAR EN EL CAMPO CON NUESTROS FAMILIAS CON NUESTROS NINOS ES URGENT. GRACIAS. MARY MARTIN. BUENAS TARDES. MI NOMBRE ES ALL THE TIME. OKAY. MI HISTORIA PERSONAL. SORRY, MAMA. DE CINCO NINOS, MI NINO MAS GRANDE.

SO ESO ES MI EXPERIENCIA CON MI HIJO Y POR ESO YO SÉ QUÉ COMO MI HISTORIA AND VER MUCHAS HISTORIAS DE PERSONAS PUDIERON ASISTIR ESTA NOCHE. PERO YO CREO Q SI YA TENEMOS AQUI SOLAMENTE TODAS LAS COMPANIAS TIENEN UN PLAN NO PUEDE SER MAS PERFECTO. PERO CON EL CAMBIO EN

[01:40:01]

DESERT RECREATION FROM THE CITY OF COACHELLA. THIS IS A HECTOR FELIX WITH THE LOCAL SPANISH NEWSPAPER. AND I KNOW THERE WAS A MENTION ABOUT THE MEDIA, ABOUT THE MISTRUST IN THE COMMUNITY. WHILE WE ARE THE SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOODS, ESPECIALLY IN THE LOCAL SOCCER LEAGUES HERE IN OUR BEAUTIFUL CITY OF COACHELLA, AND FOR US, IT'S BEEN A GREAT PRIVILEGE PUBLISHING ON A WEEKLY BASIS. ON A WEEKLY BASIS, BOTH SISA AND COACHELLA VALLEY SOCCER LEAGUE IN OUR NEWSPAPER AND, YOU KNOW, US BEING PART OF THE INLAND EMPIRE JOURNALISM FOUNDATION, COACHELLA VALLEY JOURNALISM FOUNDATION, LATINO MEDIA COLLABORATIVE, THE HISPANIC NATION OF PUBLISHERS, AND AMERICAN COMMUNITY MEDIA. I WOULD LIKE TO SAY, LIKE MY FATHER SAYS, IF SOMETHING'S NOT BROKE, WHY FIX IT? THESE THESE LEAGUES HERE ARE TRUSTED, AND OUR KIDS BELIEVE IN LOCAL SPORTS. SO I THINK WE SHOULD MAINTAIN WITH WHAT WE HAVE. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. IF THERE'S ANYBODY ELSE ONLINE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COMMENT, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND ON ZOOM. THERE ARE NO FURTHER HANDS. OKAY. OKAY. SO PUBLIC COMMENTS CLOSED AT 617. OKAY. THAT WILL BE MOVING TO REPORTS AND REQUESTS, RIGHT? WHAT ARE WE. WELL, WE STILL NEED TO TAKE AN ACTION BECAUSE THIS IS A NEW BUSINESS ITEM. SO I'LL MOTION. MOTION ONE OH, WHAT THE RECOMMENDATION. RECOMMENDATION.

RECOMMENDATION. IS THIS SOMETHING WE COULD SLEEP ON AND WE GOT TO GET ON IT RIGHT NOW.

OH. SO PER THE STAFF REPORT, YOU KNOW, THE POTENTIAL RECOMMENDATIONS WE IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY SPOKE IN SUPPORT, IF NOT CHANGING ANYTHING. A LOT OF COMMENTS WERE IN SUPPORT OF CSA AS WELL. SO WE'D BE LOOKING FOR A RECOMMENDATION TO TAKE TO CITY COUNCIL TO EITHER LEAVE IT AS IT IS AND HAVE BOTH CVS AND CSA CONTINUE IN THEIR EXISTING CAPACITY, OR IF THERE'S A BELIEF THAT ONE LEAGUE WAS, YOU KNOW, KIND OF HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE OTHER, THEN WE COULD MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO MOVE FORWARD WITH WITH A SINGLE LEAGUE. SO. THE SAME, I'M LEANING TOWARDS ONE TOWARDS ONE, NOT LEANING TOWARDS ONE. I MEAN, IT'S WORTH KEEPING THE SAME AS TWO. I SEE AS IS KEEPING US THIS RIGHT HERE. IF WE COULD TALK TO OUR MICROPHONES TOO. SO. THE PUBLIC CAN HEAR THE DELIBERATIONS.

[01:45:02]

BUT. I START OFF. SO MY RECOMMENDATION FOR THE TWO LEAGUES WOULD BE COACHELLA ASSOCIATION AND COACHELLA VALLEY SOCCER LEAGUE. OH. ONE OF THESE THREE, THEY'RE TRYING TO DECIDE WHICH TWO FROM ONE OF THOSE THREE. NOT TWO OF THOSE THREE. THREE. ONE. MAYBE WITH THE TOP TWO SCORERS. WHICH ARE COACHELLA YOUTH SPORTS ASSOCIATION AND ON, WHICH WAS CESAR. RIGHT. AND I'M KIND OF INTO COACHELLA FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION. THOSE ARE TWO PER THE PER THE RFP. THE RFP WAS ORIGINALLY SET TO HAVE ONE LEAGUE. SO THOSE THE. THE WAY THE STAFF REPORT WAS WRITTEN, KIND OF DISCUSSING THE ALTERNATIVES WAS WHETHER WE WOULD LEAVE IT IN PLACE WITH THE EXISTING TWO LEAGUES. OKAY. BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU COULD MAKE A RECOMMENDATION. YOU COULD DO ANOTHER, WHICH WOULD BE A RECOMMENDATION TO TO HAVE TWO DIFFERENT LEAGUES. THE ORIGINAL RFP WAS WRITTEN IN A WAY WHERE IT WOULD BE A SINGLE LEAGUE. SO OKAY, SO IT'S EITHER LIKE RIGHT NOW, EITHER WE STAY PRETTY MUCH WE COULD JUST SAY RECOMMENDATION FOR TWO LEAGUES, AND THEN WE COULD LEAVE IT UP TO THE CITY TO CHOOSE WHICH ONES THEY WOULD LIKE TO GO WITH OR. BECAUSE FOR ME, I'M FINE WITH HONESTLY, WITH WHAT WE HAD BEFORE, I'M FINE WITH THAT. HAVING THOSE TWO LEAGUES. I MEAN, HONESTLY, IT HAS WORKED.

IT'S JUST LIKE I TOLD THEM BEFORE, YOU GUYS ARE LITTLE KIDS PLAYING AND FIGHTING AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE. AND SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE FOR THE LAST, WHAT, THREE YEARS NOW? AND IT'S JUST BEEN THE SAME THING. AND I TOLD YOU GUYS, YOU GUYS ARE ADULTS, PLAY LIKE ADULTS, TALK ABOUT IT. AND WE WOULDN'T BE HERE IF YOU GUYS WERE LIKE LITTLE KIDS. YOU KNOW, THE KIDS WITH THEM, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY THE LITTLE ONE RIGHT THERE. THAT'S A LITTLE KID.

THOSE ARE THE THOSE ARE KIDS. THOSE SHOULD BE FIGHTING. SO THAT WOULDN'T BE GOING ON. WE WOULDN'T BE IN THIS POSITION AT THE MOMENT. BUT I'M OKAY WITH THAT. YEAH. BECAUSE I THINK THAT I THINK KIND OF MOVING AWAY TO, YOU KNOW, PICKING TWO LEAGUES IS, IS KIND OF DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WAS PROPOSED IN THE RFP. BUT YOUR SUGGESTION YOU JUST MADE RELATIVE TO NOT CHANGING ANYTHING, MOVING ON WITH THE STATUS QUO, THAT WOULD BE A RECOMMENDATION THAT I THINK SOME OF THE PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY HAVE RECOMMENDED. AND THEN THAT WOULD BE WHAT RECOMMENDATION NUMBER ONE WOULD BE, WOULD BE TO KEEP THE STATUS QUO. IF THAT IS A RECOMMENDATION THAT SOMEONE WANTED TO OFFER AND THEN VOTE ON, I THINK THAT. HAVING BOTH LEADS. YEAH, I'LL BE KEEPING THE SAME. I THINK WE'RE VOTING WITH EVERYTHING THE SAME. EVERYTHING'S THE SAME. YEAH. RECOMMENDING, RECOMMENDING FOR

[01:50:06]

THINKING ABOUT GIRLS TEAM. WE DON'T HAVE IT. YOU KNOW I HAVE MY LAST GIRLS TEAM BACK IN 2018 AND I WAS TALKING WITH JOSE TOO. WE'RE TALKING YOU KNOW. SO HE WAS PART OF OUR FAMILY A LONG TIME AGO. AND I LOVE YOU BRO. REALLY. YOU MAKE A LOT OF SUCCESS IN OUR COMMUNITY AS JOINT LEADER. WE TALK ABOUT IT ABOUT IT. SO WE NEEDED TO OKAY, SO PROMISE ALWAYS THAT WE NEED OUR GIRLS TEAM TO NOT MIX ONE MORE THING. THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. I PROMISE. SO THAT
