Due to a schedule change, we will not be able to meet for a potluck on April 19th. The weather should be better for this in the fall anyway!

The online registration forms are now available on the website for you to complete and submit or print & mail. (You still need to mail your check.)

THIS IS THE LAST SEASON WE WILL SEND OUT PAPER MAILINGS.
[Talk to us if you need an exception.]

Schedule irregularities for Spring 2008 …

• We are planning an optional potluck at the soccer field the Saturday before we start (April 19) both to socialize and so Head Coach Meek can spend some time training coaches. It would be great if all the coaches could make it so we’re all on the same page at the first practice. Everyone is invited, coaching or not. Bring everything you need. I will have lemonade, but aside from that what we eat is left to providence.
• First practice is Tuesday, April 22
• We must SKIP Saturday, April 26, due to a wedding at the church – NO SOCCER
• Second practice is Tuesday, April 29
• First game is Saturday, May 3 (INCH conference)
• No soccer Saturday, May 24 – Saturday before Memorial day


Things to talk about …

• THANK YOU Mr. Ken Meek for offering to be head coach!!! Ken will be working to help us parents learn the game better so we can be better (and more?) coaches.
• There were lots of injuries last fall. If anyone has suggestions about what is causing them, we would love to hear.
• We had problems with students being late for the start of games last fall. Coaches were forced to reassign teams at the start of games, and then reshuffle teams again when students start showing up. Please (please, please, please, please) arrive BEFORE announcements start.
• Remember that parent attendance on the field is expected – even if your student can drive…
• This is the last season we will send out paper registration notices. If you do not have access to Email at all, then PLEASE contact Craig. We will work with you.
• We do not “keep attendance,” but we did run into an issue last season one student playing only on Tuesdays. I thought it would be OK, but it caused difficulty for his team. We will make no rule on this, but please think twice about enrolling a student who will miss a lot.
• U16 students need to please refrain from after-game rugby or whatever you called it. Also, most U14 parents objected to the idea of combining these divisions when that was proposed last season, so please do not invite them to a match when your games are over.
