YTS Parents,
I was able to take in several YTS games this Sunday at WRAL and enjoyed watching the kids play and compete. It really is a great environment out at WRAL when the kids are playing, the coaches are coaching and the parents are enjoying watching their child play. I have fielded several questions over the last few days about the coming months and the spring so I am going to try and answer them. As always if I fail to answer a question you have don't hesitate to contact me.
1. Indoor training at Net Sports:
The 9's will train on Wed (technical work only) , the 10's (technical work only) will train on Thursday and Friday is a double session. The first hour on Friday is for the 9's and the second hour is for the 10's. This is something new that we did not do last year. Friday's will be FUTSAL Friday's. Following a short warm-up the kids will play FUTSAL for the remainder of the session. This will allow them to compete in a small-sided competitive environment.
There is no cost for this program and we hope that all of the players in our program can attend. Players cannot wear cleats at the indoor sessions as we will playing on the all sports court. The indoor sessions are a nice change of environment for the players in particular when the weather gets colder.
I realize the early start maybe difficult for families. However this is the time that is available for us at Net Sports.
2. Training Calender
Again the dates for Net Sports are on a previous blog post. November 14th is the last week of regular training outdoors. We start our winter training (indoor training) the week of Dec 5th. There will be a few more changes to our training locations as the last week we can use Cedar Fork is Oct 24th. More to come on this!!! As soon as things are finalized I will communicate with each of you.
3. Spring Teams
There is a possibility teams will change for the spring season. As a staff we will meet at the conclusion of the fall season and determine what if any changes we need to make. Again we are always looking to make things better for the players. Sometimes parents disagree with the changes we make but our ultimate goal is to help the players improve. We will of course let players know if changes are made. Overall the games thus far this fall have presented our teams with competitive challenges. This is important regardless of the final score. Again I want the kids to always display a winning mentality.
4. Jersey Night
This is a night we would like to have the kids wear their favorite soccer jersey. They can of course wear their CASL jerseys. It helps create a fun environment for the players.
Friday October 21st - U9 's
Tuesday October 25th - U10's
5. Registration Fee for the Spring of 2012
An early reminder each returning player for the spring of 2012 must re register for the spring season. This fee is $170.00. You will not need to register for the spring season until mid December. Of course my hope is that all players will want to return. Again this is just a friendly reminder so you are prepared when the email gets sent out.
6. Winter Indoor Leagues
There are several options available to players in our area. I sent a flyer via our team managers last week about indoor options at Net Sports. Playing on an indoor team is entirely up to each individual family. My advice is to follow your son/daughters desire to play on a team. Sometimes a little break can be a good thing. Again this is your choice. We will not form YTS teams or have our coaches coaching these teams indoor teams.
7. Player Evaluations
Each player will receive an evaluation. I have not set the date for this yet but once I do coaches will be informed and evaluations will be handed out to each player. If you have questions about your son/daughters evaluation then you will need to contact your son/daughter's coach.
Thanks for reading. Hopefully you didn't fall asleep.
