Cascade Collegiate Soccer League rebuilding relationships

What: Rebuilding the reputation of the Cascade Collegiate Soccer League
Who: Art Mota, Vice President of the CCSL, coach of the LBCC soccer club

Linn-Benton Community College's soccer coach hopes to rebuild league relationships with referees.

Art Mota, who is the vice president of the newly reorganized Cascade Collegiate Soccer League, and the coach for LBCC's soccer club, says the league was reformed over the summer and is working to reestablish itself after developing a bad reputation.

"It's like we have swine flue; they won't come near us," said Mota.

The main transgressions that the officials were upset with included the improper handling of red-carded players, non-payment for matches officiated, and rescheduling of matches without communicating those changes to the officials.

Currently the teams in the league are responsible for getting their own officials to cover matches.

"The plan is to affiliate with the Oregon Adult Soccer Association during the winter break from play," said Mota. "That, along with the addition of a designated coordinator for officials, will help a lot."
