Happy Tuesday

YTS Families,

Several updates below:

1.  Weather

Obviously now that our indoor sessions have ended it has rained non-stop.  I know it is frustrating when sessions get canceled however there is nothing we can do to control the weather.  Please always make sure you check the CASL Weather Hotline 919-248-9516 or your email as we typically try to email our team managers if there are any cancellations. 

2.  Game Schedules

The season is scheduled to start this coming Sunday with games.  Please check your game schedule one last time to make sure there have been no changes with kick-off times and or locations.   I would recommend checking your email before you leave home for your games in case there has been a cancellation/change.  Never assume your game is on/off based on what you see out of your window. 

3.  Game Information

Please make sure your son/daughter is prepared for the games.  Make sure they dress appropriately and bring both jerseys to the games.    Especially at the start of the spring season it can be very cold at games.  Please arrive 45mins prior to your kick-off.  This allows plenty of time for the kids to get set, warm-up and be ready to play.

If for some reason your son/daughter cannot attend your game please give your coach as much advance notice as possible.  He/she can then look into finding extra players so the team has enough players for the game.  We typically have smaller roster sizes so that on game days the kids get to play.  Of course we understand emergencies happen that we cannot be prepare for.

4.  Training Schedule

Next week we start out at Prestonwood Fields  (Week of March 4th)

10's 

Tuesday         WRAL (Durham Bulls)   4.30-6.00pm
Thursday        Prestonwood (Field 2)   4.45-6.15pm

Friday           WRAL (Durham Bulls)    4.30-6.00pm

** Please note the later start/end time for the Prestonwood sessions.

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

We look forward to an enjoyable spring season.

Happy Thursday

YTS Families,

I hope you are all well.  There is a great deal of information in this post so please read it closely.

Rosters

For the most part rosters have been updated.  Please understand at anytime we can move a player from one team to another.  We will continue to track the progress of all players during the course of our spring season.  Please don't feel the need to contact our staff with regards to this process as we will contact you if we feel the need.  We certainly appreciate your cooperation with this.

Spring Game Schedules

Game schedules can be found by clicking on this link http://www.ncchampionsleague.com/

Once on the NCCL homepage on the left you will see the tab for your age group.  Once you have clicked this you will see your team schedule.

We do our best with the schedules to try and split home and away games.  It doesn't always work out perfectly but that is always the goal. 

You will notice on Sunday March the 10th there are no CASL YTS teams that have a game scheduled.   We will do something a bit different March 10th.  The details are below:

U9 Girls 2.15-4.00pm  Baker Roofing
U9 Boys 2.15-4.00pm Fairway A  (Will move to Baker if grass is closed)

U10 Girls 4.00-5.45pm Baker Roofing
U10 Boys 4.00-5.45pm Fairway B (Will move to Baker if grass is closed)

Players able to attend should wear a soccer jersey of their choice with black shorts and socks. 
For the assigned times above on the field locations listed above the AGC's will run a technical warm-up and will run a 4v4 tournament.  This is something a bit different for the players and should be a fun day.  Again there are no scheduled NCCL games for Sunday March 10th.

You will notice on Sunday May 12th there are no CASL YTS teams that have games scheduled.  We are planning an event for the afternoon of May 12th.  I will send something out about this in the near future.


Training Schedule

I know we have communicated on several occasions about the spring training schedule.  Below is the schedule for the remainder of the spring season.
