Happy Wednesday

YTS Parents,

Please remember starting next week- February 20th 2012 we will be moving back out to Cedar Fork for the following training sessions:

Wednesday U9's  4.30-6.00pm

Thursday     U10's 4.30-6.00pm

We will be on Fields 7 and 8.

While I know we all have busy schedules and starting at 4.30pm is very difficult for many of you please do all you can to get your son/daughter to training on time.    It has a huge impact on training when players are consistently drifting in late.   As always we appreciate your support.

Enjoy the warm weather.

Happy Friday

YTS Families,

It has been a while since my last post so I apologize.    Several bits of information on this post so please read it closely. 


So far the weather has cooperated with our outdoor sessions.   Hopefully this will continue. 

General Training Info

Our training sessions are focused on developing individual players rather than teams.  Please remember this as this is the primary focus of our program.   If we develop a pool of technically proficient players at a young age our older teams at CASL will continue to be strong.   I feel it is important for me to continually remind parents about this.    Winning games at U9 and U10 are certainly not our priority.  Developing players that can win in the future certainly is.  The players must develop a winning/competitive mentality hence the reason to train and play hard regardless of what team a player is on or what the score is.   Developing this trait will benefit all of our players in the future regardless of where the game takes them.

The game schedule is available on line at www.ncchampionsleague.com

Teams will be finalized next week.  There will be very few changes to the current team assignments.   Instead we will look to manipulate the training environment where we feel the need.  

All U10 teams will play 8v8 games this coming spring and U9 teams will continue to play 6v6.   Players may be invited to play additional games on Sundays with different YTS teams.  AGC's will help with this process.

General Info

1.  If you have a question or concern please don't hesitate to contact me.  I would rather give you my answer than you find one out for yourself.  I don't claim to know everything but will be candid always!

2.  If you know your son/daughter will be missing a game please let your team manager know asap.  This is very important as we like to make sure we have enough players for each team for the games.

3.  Make sure your son/daughter is ready to train.  They need to bring an inflated ball to every training session.   Please make sure they are dressed appropriately.

4  Enjoy the watching the attached video link.   Scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in soccer.

Happy Monday

YTS Parents,

It looks like the timing of our move outdoors is going to be perfect.  Hopefully the warm temperatures will stay with us.. keep your fingers crossed.  Our upcoming schedule looks like this:

Training

U9's Wed at 4.30 on Pet Mania (WRAL) and Fri at 4.30pm on Durham Bulls (stadium field)

U10's Tues at 4.30 on Durham Bulls and Thurs at 4.30pm on Eurosport (WRAL)

We will be on the schedule above for the next three weeks.  After that we plan on returning to Cedar Fork on Wed (U9's) and Thurs (U10's).

Games

First weekend of games is scheduled for March 4th.  I hope to have a schedule some time next week. 

We are excited to get started outside again with the kids and look forward to a good spring!

Thanks very much.

Happy Thursday

YTS Familes,

As you all should know we start our indoor sessions again next week- the week of January 9th.  

We will start our regular outdoor training schedule the week of January 30th.   For at least the first three weeks of February all of our training sessions will be at WRAL.  The schedule minus a couple of field assignments is below.

Tuesday 4.30pm- Stadium
Wednsday 4.30pm- Field TBA
Thursday 4.30pm- Field TBA
Friday 4.30pm- Stadium

I realize this will be an inconvience for some families.   We hope to be back out at Cedar Fork in late February.  I will of course do my best to keep you all updated.

Should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.

We look forward to an exciting 2012!!!

Happy New Year

YTS Families,

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday.  We wish you all the very best for 2012 and hope that the year is a kind one to us all.   Below are a few reminders:

1.  If you have not already done so please go ahead and register for the spring season.  More information can be found on spring registration on my December post.  Again if you do not plan on returning please let me know asap.  Once we get everyone registered we will look to finalize our teams for the spring season.

2.  Our January schedule is posted on the blog on the calender.  We have three more weeks of indoor training.  With the current temperatures it will feel great to be indoors.   Please remember all players are expected to wear the correct training attire- white CASL training shirt, black shorts and black socks.

3.   We are scheduled to move outside the week of Jan 30th.  I will forward more information on this in the coming weeks once I have all the final details.

4.  If you have not received your son/daughter's player evaluation please contact your AGC directly.  If this fails to solve the problem please contact me.  

As always should you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

My email address is paulf@caslemail.com

Again all the very best for 2012!

Happy Holidays

YTS Families,

Our fall season has officially ended and you can all take a well deserved break from our YTS program.   I hope as a family you have enjoyed being a part of our program and that you plan on returning in the spring.  Please remember you must re-register for the spring season.  Please do that as soon as you can so that we can finalize teams etc for the spring of 2012.

As a staff we hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season.  We also hope 2012 is a great year for your family, our YTS  program and CASL as a whole.

Thanks for your continued support and have a great Holiday!
