On behalf of the Chelsea Board of Directors, we hope your 2012 is off to a great a start. Our goal is to continue the strong heritage that JUSA Select started many years ago that has now become Chelsea SC. It is our goal to maintain the integrity this club has long been known for and provide our children the best competitive soccer environment in all of North Orange County. We remain steadfast in our MISSION STATEMENT.

With the New Year comes change. Effective immediately, Gabe Smith has resigned as Director of Coaching and will be exploring new opportunities. We wish to thank Gabe for his years of service to the club, his positive demeanor and thoughtful style when working with our kids. With this transition, the club is in the process of creating a new operating plan that will lead to improvements in the following areas:

- Financial governance and club dues
- Tournament operations
- Coaching curriculum and player development roadmap
- Standardized trainer policies for payment and performance evaluations
- Camp operations
- Player recruitment and college support

Effective immediately, we are privileged to announce the appointment of MIKE STAUBER as Director of Coaching - Boys, and JENNY HAMMOND - Director of Coaching Girls. In this position, the DOC will be responsible for coaching placements, performance management, curriculum development and adherence, new team acquisitions and execution of all team policies.

Please join us in congratulating both Mike and Jenny on their new positions. We are extremely confident that they will help lead our club to new heights and excited about the plans they have for our players. The Board will continue to communicate the positive changes being made and welcome any feedback you have towards greater improvement.

Chelsea SC is the preeminent club in North Orange County. We will continue to develop players, promote teams and help guide our players to the next level. We will attract new coaching talent and players while getting back to dominance on both the Regional and National levels. We are very excited about our future and very glad you are a part of it.
