November 2021 Updates
Vote in the PADA Board Election

There are two (2) open seats available on the PADA Board this fall. The election for PADA Board of Directors has been extended through November 30th. If you voted early, there may be new candidates on the ballot since you voted; all members are welcome to change their vote until the election closes.

Coordinators Needed

Our leagues would not be possible without our many volunteer coordinators. PADA needs you! If you are interested in coordinating a winter league please,  fill out this form by November 30th or email Elena at ed@pada.org for more information.
PADA Pass

As this year comes to a close and with 2022 winter leagues opening soon, make sure to renew your PADA Pass. We took a pause from the PADA Pass format, but we're bringing it back for 2022.
If you're not familiar with the format, read up on how it works here.

By purchasing a PADA pass, your admin fees are waived for every league that calendar year. Make sure to purchase the pass prior to starting any registrations in order to deem the pass discounts. 

Pass holders are eligible to a coupon if they volunteer during that calendar year. 
Preserve Edgely Updates

Calling all Edgely Users! The City of Philadelphia plans to build a turf football stadium on top of Edgely Fields 3-6, which would end its use by thousands of youth and adults alike for practices, games and tournaments. While the Parkside area needs a stadium for its youth sports programs, there are several better locations which are less occupied, closer in proximity to the people it will serve, and which will not displace Edgely’s long-standing vibrant communities. We believe that choosing a more suitable location will be a win-win for everyone.

This initiative is very winnable, but only if our community of people like YOU get involved. Below are several ways you can be a part of the movement, big or small.
Nominate a PADA Award Recipient

Each year PADA recognizes a handful of volunteers who have gone above and beyond in their dedication to our organization. This year has been anything but a typical year, and many volunteers have seen that as an opportunity to step up into new roles. Thank you to all volunteers working behind the scenes in bettering our organization. Learn more about the PADA awards and nominate a fellow member here. Please submit your nominations for the 2021 PADA awards by filling our this simple form by Monday December 5th.  
PHUEL Update

PHUEL hosted KitKat, our end of fall season tourney, at the end of October. Congrats to each of the division winners- Radnor (Varsity Girls and Non-binary), Wissahickon (Varsity Open), and Methacton (JV Open). 

We are also searching for volunteers to join the PHUEL Executive Committee, to serve as TDs, or to fill our spring season Division Commissioner roles. If you are interested or want more information, please reach out to phuel@pada.org.
  
Giving Tuesday

 #GivingTuesday is a way to kick off the charitable giving season with a bang! Save the date, spread the word, and donate to one of PADA's many programs or funds on Tuesday November 30th! 
Happy Thanksgiving on behalf of PADA board & staff. We're grateful for our incredible community.
