Happy Wednesday

YTS Parents,

I hope you are all well and that the batteries are recharged after the spring break/ easter holiday.  With that said there is a great deal going on.  We had our U10 parent meeting last night and will have the U9 meetings on Friday night out at WRAL during training.

Player Recommendations for the 2011-2012 season

All families should have received communication from your coach.  If not please let me know.  Again the goal is to give you guidance as parents as to where we think your son/daughter should play.  Entirely up to each family which program they have their child tryout for so long at the child is age eligible.

Happy Thursday - Next Level Academy and YTS (New DATE Information)

YTS Parents,
I know many of you already participate in the NLA program.   We wanted to make you all aware of the upcoming tryout dates for NLA for the 2011-2012 season.    Players can participate in both programs.
NEXT LEVEL ACADEMY SOCCER TRYOUTS

Next Level Academy is a soccer training program designed for U7-U11 boys and girls who want to develop the technical skills needed to play at the highest levels. The program is designed to enhance the player’s technical abilities, agility, balance, and speed with the ball while building confidence in the player on and off the field. NLA is dedicated to providing a great training environment for our young players. Next Level Academy is proud to have been a part in the development and success of so many boys and girls over the last ten years. CASL and NLA continue to have a strong relationship and are committed to working together in player development.

Our Academy Training Program is for players who are U7-U11 boys and girls committed to a year long program of weekly training and participation in various activities such as tournaments, team building, and community service. Tryouts are held to ensure a consistent skill level within an age group and gender to maintain a high level during trainings. The player's who are selected for the NLA Academy can still be rostered with their current club teams, attend all trainings for those club teams, and participate in tournaments with their club teams. The NLA Academy trainings are a supplement to the player's existing club team. All NLA Academy activities do not require association sanctioning.

* Our Academy program is offered at both of our training sites, NLA Morrisville at NetSports and NLA Raleigh/Wake Forest at the Factory. For more information about all of our programs, please visit www.nextlevelacademy.com .

Next Level Academy is excited to announce tryouts for the Academy training program for the 2011-2012 season.

* NLA Morrisville Tryout Dates @ NetSports (U7 - U11): May 2 – May 5

* NLA Morrisville Alternate Tryout Date @ NetSports (all ages): Friday, May 6

* NLA Raleigh/WF Tryouts Dates @ The Factory (U7-U11): May 9 – May 12

* NLA Raleigh/WF Alternate Tryout Date @ The Factory (all ages): Friday, May 13

To find out more about all of the specific age group tryout days and times and/or to register, please visit www.nextlevelacademy.com . Pre-registration will need to be completed, however walk-ups will be accepted.

Happy Tuesday

YTS Parents,

Several things in this post:

1.  U10 Festival teams will be emailed out to managers today.   All U10 players will play at least one game on Sunday afternoon at WRAL.  It should be a fun afternoon for the kids.  If your son/daughter has a conflict please let me know asap.  I realize next week is spring break.

2.  Please remember we have no training next week.  I hope you enjoy the week off!

2.  Your team coach will contact you with regards to recommendations for next year.   Again these are only recommendations- parents can choose to register their child/children.  The goal is to have this done by Tuesday of next week.  That should allow all families plenty of time to register for our tryouts.  At this point we are encouraging all players to tryout on age.

3.  Remember the World Juggle-A-Thon.  The cause is a great one and it ties in with the players working on their juggling skills.

4.  You might be aware.  The Railhawks have started their season again and below is some information about tickets etc.

Wednesday May 11th - U9's will train     4.30pm-6.00pm


Recommendations for 2011-2012


I will speak with the coaches in order to provide recommendations for the players.  Please understand these are only recommendations.   Our goal is to steer each child in the right direction moving forward.   You can register your child for any program you wish so long as they are age eligible. We appreciate your patience as we work to get these out. 


World Juggle-A-Thon


Remember participation in this event is optional.   It is on Monday April 25th at 6.00pm.  The goal is to help raise money for Nothing But Nets.  Nothing BUt Nets is a global, grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing Malaria.


I think that is it for now.  Should you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.

Link to Register for YTS

YTS Parents,

Below is the link to register for YTS for the 2011-2012 season.   While I understand many of you may wait until we make a recommendation for your son/daughter I would encourage you all to go ahead and register for YTS next year.    If you are age eligible to rejoin the program I would encourage you to register.  I would hope the experience this year has been a positive one and you would want for your son/daughter to spend another year in the program.
