<br />This year marks the 25th Anniversary of the NOSO Cup Soccer Tournament. Over 95 teams and <br />2000 soccer enthusiasts will come to North Olmsted for this prestigious tournament. Teams <br />come from all over including an entry form El Paso, Texas which has several Mexican players <br />bringing an International flavor to the Tournament. This is the big fundraiser for NOSO and <br />proceeds from the Tournament help offset annual operating expenses of the club. <br /> <br />Mr. Mekes outlined N.O.S.O.'s future needs. <br /> <br /> <br />1)More parking at Barton Bradley Park <br />? <br /> <br />Relocating the leaf dump to accommodate space <br />? <br /> <br />An additional 200 spaces are needed <br /> <br /> <br />2)Establish new soccer fields in North Olmsted. <br />? <br /> <br />Barton Bradley fields are over used and turf maintenance is becoming an issue. <br />? <br /> <br />Re-seeding goal-mouth areas is a major problem. <br />? <br /> <br />Two soccer fields were lost due the Shopping Mall expansion. <br />? <br /> <br />Resting fields 6-12 months to allow grass to take root is more difficult than in the <br />past. <br />? <br /> <br />The new trends in youth soccer is to create teams with smaller numbers to promote <br />skill development. While the program has been well received, it requires more field <br />space than traditional 11 man soccer games. <br /> <br /> <br />Ball Diamond Proposal <br />N.O.S.A.
