Hi Everybody,
Welcome to the 2007 soccer season! Your player has been drafted onto our team.
My name is Carl Mosher and I will be coaching the Boys U-12, (Team #7) this season. I have been coaching in this Region for 10 years and have 2 of my children playing in this division this year.
I want to apologize for the delayed notice; we have been on vacation.
Our first practice will be Monday 8/27/07 at 6:00 PM, Alta Vista Park Field (west end)
Our Team/Parents meeting will be right after practice on Monday, 8/27/07, at the gazebo (covered patio area outside the Alta Vista Community Center, next to the tennis courts) at 7:00 PM.
Our team has a website at TheSoccerKids.com aka LASoccerKids.com. All the information regarding our team, team activities, practices, contact information, pictures, etc. will be located at our website. If you are new to this site, you should have received an invitation to join with your preliminary Username and Password. The username/password are required to view the protected areas of the site. When you first log in with your username and password, you will be required to fill out some information to gain access. (Note: If you enter a birth date of a person younger than 13 years of age, you will be required to obtain adult permission (via email) prior to logging in. The easier solution is to use parent information when completing this form). If you are already a member, but have forgotten your log-in information, I can resend it to you. If you have any questions prior to our meeting, please give me a call (310-833-6674) or email me at coach@thesoccerkids.com
I have prepared a preliminary agenda below for our meeting and also a volunteer sign-up sheet. We will be able to expedite our meeting if we resolve our responsibility assignments before hand.
The Region has implemented a new Referee Program. It requires each team to provide referees (AR's or Center Referees) to games each week. My goal is to get a certified AR or Center Referee from each family. This will help share the responsibility for each week of play.
