description
This presentation was in regards to the Stroud Soccer Association's geographic club alignment in the Oklahoma Soccer Association youth soccer spectrum. This project deals with the costs associated with their current alignment and how switching conferences would enable more youth of the Stroud area to be able to afford to play the beautiful game of soccer. Data pertaining to economic demographics for the city of Stroud and the state of Oklahoma was collected from the city of Stroud, Oklahoma government and the state of Oklahoma government. The objective of this project was to help build a solid youth recreational program for Stroud Soccer Association that would lead to more interest in the sport and higher quality players. This would in fact lead to the opportunities for a competitive soccer outfit within the Stroud Soccer Association program offerings, further enabling opportunities for youth to achieve such opportunities as earning college scholarships for their play. While the last objective for this project was to lead to the creation of a high school soccer team for both men's and women's sides. Once again further enabling soccer players from the Stroud, Oklahoma area the platform to gain recognition on a state wide level through competition with other school's of their class size as possible college scholarship worthy student-athletes. While economically speaking this would help keep youth soccer players and their parents who are the discretionary when it comes to the money being spent on the player for the said sport within the confines of the Stroud, Oklahoma. In addition to bringing outside dollars into the community through out of town soccer teams visiting the Stroud, Oklahoma community for games. Therefore spending more dollars in the community and collecting taxes on the out of town visitor's dining, shopping, and connivence purchases.

This current alignment does not allow them to play against Bristow Soccer Club which is only 17 Miles from Stroud, instead their closest opponent is 60 miles away.
Proposed Solution
Re-Align From Frontier Country into Green Country
Decreased Travel Costs by at least 50%due to closer
opponents in Green Country
Increased Membership and opportunity for the youth of Stroud to learn important life values through soccer
