Happy Friday

YTS Families,

I hope you are all well.  A few reminders etc below:

1.  U9 Training tonight is scheduled to be on the Stadium Field at WRAL.   U9's will always be on the stadium on Friday nights unless otherwise notified.

2.  Each team now has a team manager and they will be sending an informal email out in the next day or so if they have not already done so.

3.  We need to get training shirts ordered and taken care of asap.  Please be responsive to your team managers so we can get things done in a timely fashion and they don't have to send multiple emails.

4.  Many of you have asked about the bag tags - these will be collected with the training t-shirt order.   The bag tags are the shape of a jersey and look just like the grey/silver YTS game jersey.  Hopefully the kids will like them.  Please make sure you attach them to your child's bag so they can always find it (along with the bag tag you will get a clip to attach bag tag to the bag).  Again these are being provided as no embroidery can be placed on the Chelsea Backpack.

5.  This year our program has changed slightly from an administration standpoint.  While I will continue to oversee the whole program we have added AGC (Age Group Coordinators).   They are listed below:

U9 Girls Andy Truex andyt@caslemail.com

U9 Boys Caleb Norkus  calebn@caslemail.com

U10 Girls Stephen Chaconas  stephenc@caslemail.com

U10 Boys Paul Forster paulf@caslemail.com and Tim Evans  tetlevans68@gmail.com

AGC's will be responsible for running the training sessions in their respective age groups, monitoring the development of the players and assisting in me in making the experience a positive one for the players and parents. (and a whole host of other things too!!)

6.  Please direct all concerns to me and I will pass them onto AGC's if need be.  I am excited about this change as we have added some great staff to be more involved in our YTS program.

7.   If your son/daughter will be missing training or a game you can notify the AGC.  They can in turn pass this information onto team coaches.

8.  Next week we will start with our weekly educational email.  If you ever find a great article etc that we can share with our families please don't hesitate to pass it onto me.

As always should you have further questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
