PCCA NEWSLETTER
WINTER 2012
Message from the President
On behalf of the Executive Committee of the Passaic County Coaches Association, we wish all our member schools, our student-athletes, our coaches and their administration a very Happy and Prosperous New Year…. Hopefully everyone is enjoying the start of the winter sports season. The PCCA will continue to provide a championship venue for all of our student-athletes to compete and showcase themselves this winter. We encourage each of you to take in a game, meet, or match and witness for yourself the many talents our student-athletes possess. We are convinced you will walk away with a memorable experience.
Best Wishes,
Colleen M. Moyle

All newly appointed coaches should contact their athletic director or county representative to become a member of the PCCA. In order to seed the tournaments, nominate, and vote for all-county athletes, and be eligible for coach of the year, you must be a member. Remember, the county card admits only you to all county games and should be carried with you at all times. All correspondence to Bob Dondero should be sent to his home address.
