Naperville Eagles Soccer Club(referred as NESC hereafter) is formed by a group of professionals and students in Naperville and its adjacent area in a Dupage County.
The primary goal of the team is to achieve the highest level of soccer play possible within the given human and other resources. By participating in the regular practice and playing soccer matches with other teams, NESC promotes winning spirit, physical fitness and health, brotherhood friendship, and Olympic fair-play.
NESC advocates cooperation. Team-work is the key mean to fulfill the goal. All members have the right and responsibility to participate in decision-making with regard to the team's strategy, money spending, and contribution. All team members are encouraged to voice their own opinions on any team related issues and activities and final decisions will be made by the MAJORITY rule. All members have an equal right to express, contribute, protest, and even leave the team. No one member, however, is above the team and others when considering team's decisions on operations and line-ups.
The team emphasizes discipline. Members should participate in training sessions, games, and tournaments as much as possible. In the case that a member can not make for appearance in a formal team activity such as playing a game with other teams, he should explicitly inform the team. In practice and games, all members should try their best and behave to benefit the whole team. Team player who could not make a half of total games will be automatically eliminated from team list. The primary communication channel among members is via e-mail. Upon emergency case, communciation will be delivered via phone.
NESC mainly recruits Chinese persons who qualify items 3 and 4 in a voluntary base. The team members should have above average soccer playing skills among peer Chinese. Non-Chinese players will also be considered if skill level is higher than average team skill.
A captain is elected at the beginning of each year. Every member is entitled to vote for or to be voted. The captain's main duty includes recuriting new team members, arranging games, seeking sponsors, and other coordinating efforts. Another 3 or 4 persons will be appointed (on a voluntary base) to form a committee to share the responsibility such as weekly training plan and schedule, news briefing, maintaining the team's homepage, and budget reporting.
