AYSO 128 - News Updates

June 30, 2009

AYSO Region 128 FALL 2009 Registration

Sometimes things don't work as easily as you'd hope.  Our early registrations in May had rain problems and we had to cancel most of the sessions.  The GOOD NEWS:
    #1 - If you registered in May, your child is ready to go but we still need volunteers! 
    #2 - If we missed you in May, we're making it up to you by holding another two days
          of Early Registrations as well as a Regular Registration session for the
          FALL 2009 season. 
Here's the schedule as we know it now and we'll update it as we know more. We recommend EVERYONE keeps checking back weekly for updates:

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!
