PCCA NEWSLETTER
SPRING 2010
Message from our president:
I would like to take this opportunity to wish each of our schools, coaches and student-athletes a successful and safe 2010 spring season. The Passaic County Coaches Executive Committee is proud of the many young, outstanding male and female athletes that represent our county. We invite you to watch them compete as they represent their schools with pride and determination. Our county tournaments will shortly be in full swing, and new champions will be crowned. We wish the seniors a memorable experience and all of the best in their future endeavors. In June we will culminate the school year by coming together to celebrate the successes of our student-athletes at the All-County dinners at the Tides. Until then, enjoy the many athletic contests that Passaic County has to offer.

News From the Treasurer
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 you only to all county games and should be carried with you at all times.
All correspondence to Bob Dondero should be sent to his home.
Reminder
The deadline for the fall newsletter is September 15th.
