Dear AYS Parents, Coaches, and Assistants,

As the Spring season rapidly approaches I just wanted inform you of a presentation titled “Adults and Children in Youth Sports: Who Wins, Who Loses?” by Bob Bigelow a former NBA first round player and author of Just Let Kids Play. This presentation is sponsored by the City’s Recreation Center and St. John’s School.

It will be held on Wednesday April 8th from 7-9 PM at Thacher School Auditorium.

I heard him speak before and he gives a good perspective of what we adults can do and not do to make youth sports fun for our children. Eye opening at times!

Have a great season!

Paulo Araujo

Dear AYS Recreational League Players and Parents:

Welcome to the 2009
Spring Instructional Season!

I would first like to thank all of you who responded to our
volunteer request. The response was truly
overwhelming.

Our season will begin on April 19th. The first day will be devoted to meeting your
coaches, getting your team shirt and going through a series of drills to get
familiar with the ball and fields we will be playing on.

Prior to each game the coaches will meet and review the ball
skills and drills we will be working on with the children that day. While the coaches are meeting we encourage
you warm up with your child on the fields. Each week your child will need:

Water
Bottle (1or more)

Cleats
(optional U5 & U6)

Shin
Pads

Practice
Ball (Size 3 U5 o?= U7 / Size 4 U8)

Shorts
and Socks

Once back with their team the coaches will call everyone
together and introduce the drills. The
teams will stay with their coaches in the center of the two fields. Prior to
the start of the game the players will present themselves to the Referees for
an equipment check:

Shoes:
show the bottom of the boot

Shin
pads: Tap them

No
Jewelry: If your child can not remove it you must tape it.

The players will be utilized on either field throughout the
game. For Parent/Player Behavior Guidelines please refer to the Parent
Info and Spring Instructional In-Town Season sections of our website

www.attleborosoccer.com

About 2 weeks prior to the start of the season your coach
will contact you to let you know what team your child is on and where you will
meet on the first day. Please refer to
the Spring
Instructional In-Town Season sections of the website for:

Complete game day
schedule

Write up of the skills
and drills introduced each game day

Soccer is an all-weather sport.B Therefore you should
expect that at least some of your childo?=s games would be played on damp and
rainy days. The field conditions, not
the weather are the deciding factor for our Field Coordinator to cancel game
day.

All cancellations will be posted on our website and an email
will be sent as soon as a decision is made. If we miss 3 or more games we will schedule 1 make up session.

For our U7 and U8 players we will be offering 3 specialty
clinics after the game day:

Clinic
1: Goal Keeping;

Clinic
2: Throw-In

Clinic
3: Corner/Goalie Kicks (set up and defend)

An invitation will be sent out prior to the clinic date and
we ask you to let us know if you will be able to attend so we can plan the
correct number of volunteers, equipment and field space.

On game day we will have Age Group Coordinators at the field
to answer any questions or help you with any problems. They will know how to reach either myself or
Chris Macia, AYS Recreation League Assistant Director on game day. You can also
contact me directly at:

aysrecdirector@yahoo.com

On behalf of all the Recreation League Volunteers we are
looking forward to seeing you on the field and remember:

Play Safe, Play Fair, and Have Fun!

Dear Parents,

This letter is in response to the news story today that a youth soccer coach from Attleboro was arrested and charged for texting an inappropriate picture to a 13 yr.-old Attleboro girl. This coach named in the news story most recently coached the Explosion FC soccer club. Explosion FC has no affiliation of any kind with Attleboro Youth Soccer even though they are based here in Attleboro.

It has come to my attention that this particular coach had also coached an U14 Boys BAYS Travel team in the Fall of 2007. He had also occasionally played in the pick-up soccer games with high school and middle school boys at the Armory this winter.

AYS has never received any reports from parents or players coaches of any inappropriate behavior from this coach while he coached or participated in the pick-up soccer games. I would like to assure you that he is not now or will he in the future be coaching or participating in any AYS volunteer position or activity.

I would also like to assure you that our first priority is, and will always be, your children. AYS requires everyone who volunteers to complete a CORI ( criminal background check) before we consider them for any position in our organization. A CORI helps us to keep someone from volunteering if a criminal record is found. Unfortunately a CORI cannot predict future inappropriate behavior as this case has sadly reminded us.

I can understand if you have concerns or questions about this news story. If you do please feel free to contact me at pastjuel@yahoo.com or ays_president@attleborosoccer.com

Sincerely,
Paulo Araujo

AYS President

Subject: Coaching Course(s)
Just a reminder about the F license course we are holding in Attleboro on 3/27 and 4/3 from 6-10pm at Brennan Middle School.

You must have taken the G course to take the F,but you can now take the G course online. Please visit mayouthsoccer.org to take the G course.

If you can take the F course,please contact Dave Medeiros at David_Medeiros@comcast.net. If you’ve already contacted him please contact him again as he had some e-mail issues and may have lost your contact info.

Ideally we’d like all our coaches to obtain their G AND F license.

Thanks, David Arcese AYS Travel Director

p.s all cost associated with these courses are picked up by AYS for our coaches.

The Director of Recreation or a designee thereof has the right to cancel any activity or event on a city recreational facility at any time to ensure the safety of the participants and to prevent city fields from getting abused and destroyed when the turf is vulnerable.

All users of recreational facilities are REQUIRED to cancel an activity or event when potentially hazardous weather / field conditions exist. In addition to the use of common sense if any one of the following conditions exists immediate cancellation is mandatory:

1. Downpours, heavy rains, ongoing showers, snow, sleet, hail etc.
2. Standing puddles of water on a field.
3. Footing is unsure and slippery.
4. Ground is waterlogged and slushy or squishy.
5. Grass can be pulled out of the ground easily.
6. Lightning: Minimum of 30 minutes with no reoccurrence before re-entering the field.

The safety and well being of persons participating in athletic programs is of primary concern. Sports related injuries caused by poor playing conditions can lead to career ending injuries and permanent disabilities.

Additionally, when games are played on fields with poor conditions, it often causes irreversible damage to the fields. Surface damage is obvious and visible but as of equal concern from maintenance perspective is the sub-surface damage.

It shall be the responsibility of the individual who signed the permit to ensure that all individuals, teams or groups using a city recreational field do not use and / or vacate the field(s) when said conditions exist.

Each League or Organization shall (1) provide a copy of these guidelines to each board member and coach within their organization (2) provide a copy of these guidelines to any officiating organizations that may control the suspension of a game or match once play has begun and (3) post these guidelines on their official website.

Teams or leagues that refuse to follow this policy will be subjected to one or more of the following disciplinary actions:

1. Written warning to the President or Chairman of the organization.
2. Suspension of the team or organization from practicing on the fields for one week.
3. Forfeiture of a team’s privileges to either practice or play games on the City of Attleboro’s fields for the remainder of the season.
4. Having the league pay for damages caused by disregard to this policy.

ADOPTED BY THE RECREATION COMMISSION ON THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2007.

Subject: Volunteers Needed!

To All AYS Families:

My name is Mary Clark and I am the newly elected AYS
Recreation League Director. I would
like to welcome you to the 2009 Spring Instructional Season.

The Recreation Team has been very busy over the last few
months updating the Website information and planning out the 2009 Spring
Season. At this time we would like to
thank all the parents who have committed to a coaching or coordinator
position. Your help is invaluable and is
what makes our program so successful.

I am writing to you today because we need your help and am reaching
out to all the families currently enrolled in the program. AYS is a Volunteer Parent Organization and we
need your help to fill the coaching and assistant coaching positions that come
up every season. Based on last years numbers we are
anticipating 40 teams. Our goal is to
have 1 Coach and 2 Assistant coaches per team. Currently we only have:

34
Coach Volunteers

33
Assistant Coach Volunteers

5 Age Group Coordinator Volunteers

PREPARING COACHES FOR THE SEASON

We take pride in our commitment to offer advance training
for our volunteer staff. We now have an
easier more convenient way to become coach certified through an online G
course. At the completion of the course
AYS would reimburse you the registration fee.

http://www.mayouthsoccer.org/pages/2185_online_g_course.cfm

We will be offering a 1 o?= hour specialty clinic for all new
and returning coaches and assistants to get a hands-on look at the drills and
activities we will be focusing on over the 6-week season.

Every week prior to each age group session, Chris Macia, my
Assistant Recreation Director, will be reviewing the drills and activities
covered that week with the coaches. He
will also be offering player clinics for the U7 and U8 children who would like
to work on more specialized skills on Sunday after the games.

COMPLETING CORI FORM

For first-time coaches with AYS, IT REQUIRED that you complete a CORI form through the MA Youth Soccer
Association (MYSA), even if you completed a CORI check for your current job, as
a volunteer in another league or for your child’s school. Under MYSA rules, if you do not
complete one you will not be able to coach or be an assistant. Please complete one ASAP. Please forward your
confirmation to me at aysrecdirector@yahoo.com. For club name please put
Attleboro Youth Soccer.

https://www.mayouthsoccer.org/pages/1266_cori_kidsafe_form.cfm

Mary Clark: AYS Recreation League
Director aysrecdirector@yahoo.com

The success of our program lies in your willingness to be a part
of your childo?=s soccer experience. Please
help us by volunteering for one of the above mentioned positions. If you have
any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me. I look forward to seeing you all on the
field.

2009 Spring Instructional Season begins April 19th.

No Games: May 10th
and May 24th.

The Attleboro Recreation Department is committed to providing a safe, enjoyable and positive recreational experience to all who play and compete on our city’s fields and facilities. To accomplish that goal, all players, coaches, parents, spectators and participants shall exhibit appropriate behavior at all times and shall comply with all principles and regulations contained within this Attleboro Recreation Department Code of Conduct Policy.

As a field permit holder, you are responsible for the actions and behavior of yourself and the players, coaches, parents, spectators and participants of your team, league or organization, as well as visiting/out of town teams, leagues and organizations.

Therefore, it is expected and essential that all field permit holders, players, coaches, parents, spectators and participants behave in an appropriate manner at all times, by embracing the values of good sportsmanship, fair play, and respect. Moreover, all field permit holders, players, coaches, parents, spectators and participants should lead by example and be the role models of good sportsmanship, fairness, respect and most importantly self-control.

This Code of Conduct Policy applies to all field permit holders and the players, coaches, parents, spectators and participants of their teams, leagues and organizations using Attleboro fields and facilities, including visiting/out of town teams, leagues and organizations.

For the purpose of this Policy, inappropriate behavior shall be defined as including but not limited to:

Violations of this Code of Conduct Policy shall first be resolved by the field permit holder, individual, team, league and/or organization to the satisfaction of the Attleboro Recreation Commission and Director of Recreation. * If violations are not so resolved or if the action taken by the field permit holder, individual, team, league and/or organization is not commensurate with the violation, the Attleboro Recreation Commission and/or Director of Recreation may request the field permit holder, individual, team and/or organization to appear before them to address the violations and issues pertaining to the violation and action taken.

In addition to any other penalties set forth herein, any individual, team, league or organization found in violation of this Code of Conduct Policy may be banned from further use of Attleboro fields and facilities.

The Attleboro Recreation Commission and the Director of Recreation trust that all individuals, teams, leagues and organizations will abide by and support the principles and regulations contained within this Code of Conduct Policy.

*Under certain circumstances, the Attleboro Recreation Commission and/or Director of Recreation may determine that a violation of the Code of Conduct Policy is of such a serious nature that the issue will be handled first by the Commission and Director, with the individual, league, team or organization taking secondary or subsequent actions based upon the findings of the Commission and Director.
