AYSO 128 - News Updates

March 4, 2008

Attention Parents & Coaches!

Team Pictures Rescheduled:  Due to the extreme cold scheduled for this weekend we need to postpone pictures until March 28-29th to make them better for the kids. Please pass this along to everyone. Pictures will NOT be taken this weekend.

February 26, 2008

Updated Practice Schedule: Everyone please review the practice schedule available from the link below.  Due to the number of new coaches and limited availability of fields for the next few weeks, we had to do a lot of shuffling.  We apologize for any inconvenience.

Referee Training: Here's a quick reminder about referee training. Please volunteer to referee! It's a great way to learn more about the game even if you aren't sure you can or even want to referee.  Training will be held at Farragut Presbyterian Church, 209 Jamestown Blvd, Farragut, TN on 2/29 and 3/1.  More details can be found on the Referee page. 
Just remember one thing... Without referees, the players don't get to have games!  

Soccer Jersey Sale: AYSO128 blue/white soccer jerseys for players of all ages will be on sale on Wednesday, March 5 from 5:30pm to 7:00pm in the parking lot next to SoccerUSA.

Practice Schedules for Spring 2008 (updated on 2/26) The updated AYSO128 regional practice schedule for all teams is posted here (links to it are also located on the Coach & Player pages).  Players & parents, please note that your coach may make temporary changes to the schedule based on his/her availability so please check with the coach for firm times and location each week.

It takes ALL of us to make AYSO Region 128 soccer great for the players!

Important Reminders!

The Regional Commissioner has asked to send the following reminders and information to all coaches and referees:

• Parking:
   – If you play or referee on fields 3 (U12 games) or 4 (U10 games), you and your players need to park nearest Hardin Valley Road.
   – If you play or referee on fields 1 (U6/U16/U19 games) or 2 (U14 games), you and your players need to park on the north side of the fields at the top of the hill.
   – NO ONE is allowed to park on the side road – they will be ticketed and towed.

• Pets: No pets allowed on the field except for service animals (i.e. seeing eye dog). This is a policy change beginning January 2008.

• Game Schedules:  for all age groups will be been posted on both the Players & Coaches pages. (You'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the schedules but it's a free download from here.)

• Referee Schedules: We're posting Referee Schedules on a week by week basis on the Referee page so you can keep track of what games you have.  This will not change the signup process but hopefully it will help ensure that everyone gets to the correct field on time ( remember you're trying for 30 min prior to the game time whenever possible).

Thanks again for volunteering your time and talents to Region 128!!!! You are greatly appreciated by the kids, the parents and, if we haven’t said it enough, the Region 128 board members!
