Bad Weather Days
Although soccer games are generally played in the rain, if the weather appears severe on a day where your team is scheduled to play, you should contact the opposing teams coach to discuss what is going to happen. If either coach wants to play, the game goes on. If you aren't certain what the weather is going to be by game time, you should plan to show up at the fields and make the decision at game time. If you decide to cancel the game early, please contact Suzanne Saunders (320-9521) so that they can cancel the referees for your game.

Game Cards
When filling out your Game Cards, please list players numerically by jersey number, not alphabetically by name. Since the referee doesn't know your players by name, it's much easier for him/her if the players are listed numerically.

Coach Clinics
The U6, U8, U10 is a shortened course for learning the basics of coaching and specifics for the younger division players.  This course introduces the AYSO philosophy, basic skills, how to conduct a practice session, and how to prepare for a game.  This clinic is for all new coaches, especially new coaches in U6 and U8.

The Youth Course U12 is a 1-day course (8 hour).  The classroom session is about 4 hours.  Field sessions take about 4 hours.  We will be showing and teaching fundamentals of coaching, AYSO philosophy organizing your team, improving basic skills, improving group play, and strategies and tactics.

The Goalkeeper Clinic teaches the basics of positioning, awareness, leadership, communication, distribution, and includes some practice games.  The mechanics for ground balls, low drives, high balls, and crosses will also be reviewed.

The Intermediate Course is for any coach who has completed the Youth Coaching Course.  This is a 2-day course where we discuss player skill development and demonstrate drills that will improve your players "team" play!

The Advanced Course is for any coach who has completed the Intermediate Course.  This is a 2-1/2 day course.  This course stresses coaching techniques of observation and evaluation, tactical decision making, and dealing with the more experienced player.  This course utilizes small group play to create match pressure situations to work on advanced topics such as combination passing.
