Canfield Soccer Club hashes out scheduling issues with trustees

CANFIELD

Township trustees and Canfield Soccer Club must find some common ground if an agreement regarding the athletic fields at the township park is to continue.

About 50 members of the club, along with players and their parents, spoke out during Tuesday’s trustees meeting about the possibility that the agreement made in 2009 could be voided.

Brian Governor, soccer club president, said because the club was late with the fourth $10,000 installment of its annual payments, trustees claimed during a private meeting that CSC was in breach of contract.

He said trustees never contacted the club to find out why it hadn’t paid, and a check was sent to the township as soon as the error was realized.

“The township wants to take away the ability of CSC to schedule other groups for field usage,” he said during public comment Tuesday. “And we believe, ultimately, they want to schedule other groups ahead of the CSC.”
