Happy Thursday

YTS Parents,

As our regular season draws to a close there are a few reminders below:

1.  Enjoy the last weekend of games.  Spring NCCL games will not start until February.  I will send more information on spring schedule once everything gets finalized.

2.  At this point any games that were canceled will not be made up.

3..  We will only train once next week 10's Tuesday at WRAL and 9's Wednesday hopefully at WRAL.  I am still trying to finalize and will communicate directly with team managers.

4.  Coaches will be doing player evaluations.   I will send a blank copy of the evaluation form so you can get an idea of what to expect. Upon receiving your child's evaluation you can contact your coach if you have questions or concerns.  Coaches have the option of handing out the evals or emailing them.

5.  I encourage the coaches to be as honest as possible so we can provide constructive feedback on the players in our program.  This is very important.

6.  The winter training schedule is posted on the blog and should be very easy to follow.    Always check your email in case there are changes. I understand how difficult it is to get kids to training early but in order to utilize the indoor space we have to start early.

7.  We are evaluating plans for the spring in terms of teams and the potential for player movement.   Again if we make changes we will inform families.  This also includes the playing format for the teams.  We do all we can behind the scenes to create an environment that will promote individual player development.  

8. Please remember if you plan on returning for the spring (which of course I sincerely hope you all do) you will have to register again for the spring season.    Registration will open in early December for you to do this.   Again there is a registration fee required for the spring also just like there was for the fall.   I will send an email reminder when registration is live.

9.  If you haven't taken the time to thank your team manager please do so.   Remember they are volunteering.  Please remember to thank them for their time.

I hope the fall season has been a positive one for your child overall and that they have enjoyed being a part of our YTS program.  Our coaches have done a great job with the kids overall and we are fortunate to have a great group of guys/girls that help create a special environment for the players. 

Should you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact me.
