Hello Coaches,

 

As you may know, Maria Frias has stepped down from her position as the CYSA District 1 Commissioner.  We want to thank Maria for her contributions over the years and all of her energy and efforts on behalf of the Mission Youth Soccer Leage.  At the same time, we welcome Craig Winans for stepping up and taking over this important role.  Craig has a vast background in soccer as a player, a coach, and an adminstrator.

Using insightful anecdotes, personal experiences, and perspectives of numerous development experts, they passionately provide the reader with a clear and compelling breakdown of critical issues involved with youth development. Holding nothing back, they unveil the damaging problems that currently exist in U.S. youth soccer due to high numbers of administrators, coaches, and parents demonstrating misguided and outdated beliefs, and/or harboring ulterior motives that are simply not beneficial for the players’ best interests. They emphasize how conventional thinking in youth soccer leads to so many youngsters encountering negative experiences during their formative years and is a major driver as to why 70-80% of young players drop out of the sport at a young age before they have even had the opportunity to unlock their true potential. In this book, Mairs and Shaw reveal how coaches and parents can positively impact young players’ involvement. They demonstrate how to ignite young players’ passion for the sport and arm players with the powerful tools which will help them become successful players in the long-term.

 

At a recent District 1 Meeting, it was agreed that all passes for players NOT playing Spring soccer must be turned in to the league of registration (MYSL!) when the player is dropped from the team roster. If any of the players not playing spring soccer are playing Futsal, they will need to get passes issued from SFRPD for futsal so that their CYSA pass can be turned in when they are dropped.

To be held January 12 and 26, 2013. Coaches in this age group are encouraged to sign up. More information go follow. (PAL will also be holding a Grade 9 ref clinic in Feburary 2013.)

 

If your team would like to have try-outs, please plan to schedule between December and February. Please let Mr. Guzman know what you would like to do so that he can work to get fields for you. Try outs can be scheduled Fridays- Sundays (Fridays are best, Saturdays are ok, Sundays are possible but not optimal.) IMPORTANT– fields for try-outs will only be in one hour sessions per day and teams will be responsible for the $26 per hour fee. Once your try-out dates are confirmed with field availability, you may create flyers and publicize the try-outs.

If your team is planning to run try-outs during your regular practice sessions, you will have to limit the participation to one or two players per session and also limit to private communication, no flyers.

Speaking of try-outs… SF Wild Parrots is holding some early try outs for winter futsal, spring club soccer, and next year's 2012-2013 team.
