Happy Monday

YTS Parents,

It looks like the timing of our move outdoors is going to be perfect.  Hopefully the warm temperatures will stay with us.. keep your fingers crossed.  Our upcoming schedule looks like this:

Training

U9's Wed at 4.30 on Pet Mania (WRAL) and Fri at 4.30pm on Durham Bulls (stadium field)

U10's Tues at 4.30 on Durham Bulls and Thurs at 4.30pm on Eurosport (WRAL)

We will be on the schedule above for the next three weeks.  After that we plan on returning to Cedar Fork on Wed (U9's) and Thurs (U10's).

Games

First weekend of games is scheduled for March 4th.  I hope to have a schedule some time next week. 

We are excited to get started outside again with the kids and look forward to a good spring!

Thanks very much.

Happy Thursday

As you all should know we start our indoor sessions again next week- the week of January 9th.  

We will start our regular outdoor training schedule the week of January 30th.   For at least the first three weeks of February all of our training sessions will be at WRAL.  The schedule minus a couple of field assignments is below.

Tuesday 4.30pm- Stadium
Wednsday 4.30pm- Field TBA
Thursday 4.30pm- Field TBA
Friday 4.30pm- Stadium

I realize this will be an inconvience for some families.   We hope to be back out at Cedar Fork in late February.  I will of course do my best to keep you all updated.

Should you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me.

We look forward to an exciting 2012!!!

Happy New Year

YTS Families,

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday.  We wish you all the very best for 2012 and hope that the year is a kind one to us all.   Below are a few reminders:

1.  If you have not already done so please go ahead and register for the spring season.  More information can be found on spring registration on my December post.  Again if you do not plan on returning please let me know asap.  Once we get everyone registered we will look to finalize our teams for the spring season.

2.  Our January schedule is posted on the blog on the calender.  We have three more weeks of indoor training.  With the current temperatures it will feel great to be indoors.   Please remember all players are expected to wear the correct training attire- white CASL training shirt, black shorts and black socks.

3.   We are scheduled to move outside the week of Jan 30th.  I will forward more information on this in the coming weeks once I have all the final details.

4.  If you have not received your son/daughter's player evaluation please contact your AGC directly.  If this fails to solve the problem please contact me.  

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

My email address is paulf@caslemail.com

Again all the very best for 2012!

Happy Holidays

YTS Families,

Our fall season has officially ended and you can all take a well deserved break from our YTS program.   I hope as a family you have enjoyed being a part of our program and that you plan on returning in the spring.  Please remember you must re-register for the spring season.  Please do that as soon as you can so that we can finalize teams etc for the spring of 2012.

As a staff we hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season.  We also hope 2012 is a great year for your family, our YTS  program and CASL as a whole.

Thanks for your continued support and have a great Holiday!

WRAL Clean-up

Guys,

I should have posted this picture a long time ago!  I apologize to those pictured from left to right In the photo::


Brooke Francher, Nicole Kappaz, Braelynn Francher, Lindsey Elvington, Amanda Lugo, Brady Francher, Kate Sollom, Teresa Hupp, Graycie Elliot, Sydney Davis and Danielle Lugo.  Mark Francher (very back row) coordinated the activity in an attempt to clean-up the creek and WRAL in general.  Great job ladies! 

Tis the season...

Pictured above Alloysia Richardson, Audrey Pluska, Alanje Richardson, Lori Jones and Austin Parker visisted the the Salvation Army Toy warehouse earlier this month and delivered stockings the girls and their families filled.    Great job girls!

Happy Tuesday

YTS Families,

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving break and that you are ready to get to YTS training albeit for two weeks before we break for the Holidays.  There are several reminders so please make sure you read this post it its entirety:

Evaluations

Coaches are currently working on player evaluations.  They have until  December 16th to get these out to the players.  If you do not receive your son/daughter's player evaluation please contact me directly.

Training Reminders

The schedule is on the blog in a calender format.  Please make sure you check this so you are in the right place at the right time. 

I realize the 4.15pm start time is very difficult for families.  Please do all you can to arrive on time.  As a staff we know this maybe difficult for some families and completely understand if players arrive late.

Make sure your son/daughter brings a ball, something to drink and FLAT soled shoes.  Cleats cannot be worn on the all sport court - no exceptions.

For the Wed (U9's) and Thurs (U10's) sessions the players will work on their technique for the duration of the session.  Friday's sessions will be playing small sided games. 

When players arrive please make sure they place their bags on the bleachers and that the bags DO NOT BLOCK ANY WALK WAY INSIDE the building.  

General Info

Please remember all players will have to register again to play YTS in the spring season.    Even though you registered in the fall if you plan on returning for the 2012 spring season you will have to re-register your child.   Registration fee is not the monthly training fee.  Registration should be live online within the next week.

As I have stated in previous posts I hope you all elect to return.  If you already know you are not going to re-register your child please let us know.   We do have players very interested in joining our program and it would be very helpful for me to know this information.

We will evaluate rosters after the Holiday to see if we need to make any changes.    Please understand we don't make changes to upset anyone we make changes because we think they will benefit the players involved.
