In order that the Club can be as prepared as possible, please email the VP of Boys Rec if you are interested in being a head coach for the Fall season.  Registration will be available online in less than 2 months, and the earlier we know the better.  Thank you.

Saturday was windy;  Sunday was rainy;  teams played short-handed due to Spring Break vacations.

But the games went on, and the kids had a great time. 

A reminder - aside from our U18 divisions, all Rec teams have the weekend off on April 19/20.  

I know some of you are taking photos, but I don’t see much sharing going on - get them to your coaches and division directors!

 

Head Coaches:  As was discussed at previous coaches meetings, we can offer you a webpage for your team if you desire.  If you look around the various division pages, you will see links on the left hand side to some examples already in use by other coaches, to give you an idea of what you can do.  Please contact Charles Sheard for further instructions how to set up such a page.

Parents:  These pages are maintained by your coaches in their spare time, as volunteers, and are not mandatory.  Not every coach will have the time to maintain such a page, so please do not feel as if you are being left out if your team does not get its own webpage.  Also, any team page that will be showing contact information for your children, or pictures identified them by name, will be password protected so that non-Club members cannot access them.   Your coach will provide you with that password, if needed to gain access to your team page.

Thanks to everyone for managing the re-shuffling of fields to accomodate the Soccer-a-thon occuring on Fields 1 & 2 - that charity event was a big success, and we are happy things went so smoothly.

Also, a reminder that we are expecting parents to volunteer not just for concession stand duty, but the Club also requires small crews to work an hour or so on either Friday evening or Saturday morning to prepare the fields (fixing nets, making sure all goals are firmly staked, setting corner flags, touching up fields lines as needed, removing branches, etc.).   This Club cannot function without assistance from all parents, not just some, so please step forward when asked.

And please remember to take pictures throughout the season, and get them to your coaches and division directors.  Not only will many of them show up at the Awards Day slide show, but we can post some here as well.

 

From 8:30 am, when parents and players started trickling in for the early games, while the wind was still biting and cold, to nearly 5:00 pm, when it began to feel a bit more like Spring, we had a great start to the Rec season today.  I want to especially thank Ladio Hanzes for his great work in having the fields set up and ready for us, Kevin Roche for an excellent start to the UK Elite Training, and all the coaches and division directors for preparing and organizing before today.  Most importantly, we’d like to thank the players, whose efforts never come up short, whether it’s cold, windy, snowy, rainy or meltingly hot.  We hope each and every one of them enjoyed the start, and will continue to enjoy the entire season.

We will try to post pictures every so often (if you take any good ones, please get them to your coaches).  Take a look to see if we caught anyone you know:
