BROOKHAVEN TOWN SUMMER SOCCER PROGRAM 

    As Soccer Supervisor for the past thirty one summers, I would like to thank a number of people for making this summer's program a complete success. ROB ROVEGNA our Girl's Soccer Supervisor has been involved with this program for the past 25 years. The soccer program also thanks LOU HANNER who joined our staff ten years ago as the Men's U-23 College Soccer Supervisor. Lou took over for my son, Jeff, who left soccer after 12 years to take over the Town of Brookhaven's Summer Basketball Program. 
   We also thank LOU HANNER, KEITH AUGERI along with CHELSEA BRUNO, RACHAEL COHEN, JACK MURPHY and BEN PAQUETTE for their work with our new Soccer Camps Program for little guys and little girls. Formerly know as Soccer Squirts, this camp program added a new dimension to Brookhaven Soccer. We now offer soccer to kids that are as young as 3 years old to young adults that are 23 years old. 
   A very special thank you to BRIAN ROMANO (2), BRIAN MANNION (2), and MANNY HUNDAL (1), who lined our grass soccer fields this season. They replaced RAY "Spray" BARTH who had sprayed white lines for our soccer program for 22 years. The three Soccer Supervisors were responsible for updating this web site... www.eteamz.com/BrookhavenSoccer
   We thank our 2011 Field Supervisors with (#) years of service: MALLORY DATZ (6), MICHAEL LEMBO (6), KEITH AUGERI (5), REBECCA KUEMMEL (5), KAITLIN MESZAROS (5), JACK MURPHY (5), BEN PAQUETTE (5), ALICIA GIBBONS (4), KAITLIN ARNOLD (3), CHELSEA BRUNO (3), KRISTIN EPSKY (3), SHANNON EPSKY (2), BETH GLASSHAGEL (2), MEAGHAN MESZAROS (2), CORY MONKS (2),
LINDSEY ORO (2) and Sachem Youth Complex Site Supervisor BRIAN ROMANO (2).
Our first year Field Supervisors included: RACHAEL COHEN, DEANNA DUTCHER,  JESSICA GUTIERREZ, MANNY HUNDAL, BRITTANY JOHNSTON, and ALEX SANTIAGO.
   We would also like to thank the Boy's and Girl's Suffolk County Soccer Officials Associations for officiating all our games. They are the main reason our program runs smoothly and has been able to grow from 8 teams in 1981 to the 85 teams we had this summer season.
   Many thanks go out to all the people involved in making their fields available to us: the Sachem Youth Soccer League, the Three Village Youth Soccer League on the campus of Stony Brook University and the Patchogue/Medford Youth Soccer League for allowing us to use their beautiful soccer fields.
   A special thank you to Commissioner ED MORRIS and Deputy Commissioner TOM OWENS and the Town of Brookhaven Parks & Recreation Department who have built "Diamond in the Pines" in Coram, the "Wedge" in Mt. Sinai and "Centereach Park" in Centereach. These turf facilities have allowed our soccer players to play on "state of the art" synthetic fields. "Diamond in the Pines" will be the site of all our summer Championships. The facility features "high tech" lighting and a "state of the art" digital scoreboard. The Parks Department has also built a turf field in Medford called "Medford Athletic Park." The Commissioner is planning to build even more turf facilities in the future. 
   A very special thank you to the Superintendent of Recreation KURT LEUFFEN, PATRICK DANIELS and the entire staff at the Town of Brookhaven's Recreation Division for making this soccer program possible.
   GOOD LUCK this fall to all our High School players. GOOD LUCK to those players who will now move on to play college soccer . We hope to see the underclassmen in our High School leagues again next summer and the 2012 seniors playing in our U-23 Men's college division. We are always looking for a committment from four teams so we can begin a college level soccer program for young women. 
   I am looking forward to our 2012 summer season when the Brookhaven Town Soccer Program will begin it's 32nd year of providing summer soccer fun to over 2200 youth and young adult soccer players !
   Al Ellis, Brookhaven Town Soccer Supervisor
