Happy Saturday

YTS Familes,

A big thanks to all of you that have completed the registration for the upcoming season.  If you have still not done this please view one of my previous posts to get this taken care of asap.  Our season is right around the corner.  I hope you are all enjoying the summer and the warm weather and the heat is not stopping your son/daughter from getting outside and juggling/playing with the soccer ball.  A great way to practice is to spend time with the ball.  Each week a player should look to beat his/her juggling record.  Find a way to trick your son/daughter to get out with the ball.  Ice cream seems to work well.

Some important date information for you all:

Friday August 10th 4.30-6.30    Team Camp   (WRAL Field TBA)

Saturday August 11th 9.15-11.00 Team Camp (WRAL Field TBA)

While we realize many of you may be on vacation we'd like to try and get as many of the players together as possible before our regular fall training begins.  We understand if families cannot attend these sessions.The players can meet their new team mates and of course their coach and also the Age Group Coordinators:

U9 Boys - Bryan Farnsworth
U9 Girls- Mike Walters
U10 Boys- Tim Evans
U10 Girls- Steve Castro


Week of August 13th - First week of regular training:

U9's Wed (at Cedar Fork)  and Friday at (WRAL)

U10's Tues (at WRAL) and Thursday at (Cedar Fork)

Yes we are back at Cedar Fork!!!   I will send more about field #'s etc when we get a bit closer to the season starting.

I am sure with school not starting until late August for many of the kids that some families will miss some training at the start of the season.  We understand this.  The sooner we can get into a training routine the better it is for everyone.

As a club we are still trying to determine the feasibility of moving the start time to later than 4.30pm.  While this may help many of you a change in training time for our YTS players has an enormous impact on other age groups within the club.  I hope to have a final decision on this in the coming weeks.  As they say somewhere... "Stay tuned."

Coaching assignments will be released the week of July 16th.  I know you are all looking forward to finding this out.

Thanks so much for reading.

As a staff we are looking forward to starting the 2012-2013 season!
