Spring 2009 Instructional Season

To AYS Players and Parents:

I am writing to you today to explain our Spring Instructional Season. The AYS Recreational League utilizes a Dual Field format for U5 U7 games. Two fields are used simultaneously and children can be placed on either field throughout the course of the game. It allows for longer playing time per child and more contact with the ball. Small sided games let us focus on two major areas:

1.
Ball Skills (heavy emphasis on getting touches of the soccer ball for
everyone.)

2. Passing (more so for U7 as with
the U5 and U6 there is a strong desire for keeping the ball themselves)

For our U8 Program we went back to the 6v6 format for
several reasons:

Consistency with the Fall Program

Develop Tactical Skills (field awareness, decision making, positioning)

Develop Physical Skills (speed, strength, endurance, agility)

Both formats of play require multiple volunteers per team to
run efficiently and effectively.

As you look to the AdminSports Website at your family
account you will see your childs team roster for the upcoming season. It lists the Coach and Assistant Coach
or Coaches names as well as their
teammates. We are restricted to that
format because of the programs design. Your child will have a Coaching
Team
. These are the men and women
who have volunteered their time and participated in trainings and taken courses
to learn how to instruct the players on the basic skills required to play the
beautiful game.

Every volunteer on each team will have the title of Coach. Your Coaching
Team
will decide among themselves who will be the contact person for the
group prior to the start of the season. This will be the person who will be passing on information about your
team and any changes that come up.

We expect all of our players and parents to show each of the
volunteers the respect they deserve by addressing them as Coach and the players
are expected to follow the directions of every coach assigned to their team.

We are looking forward to seeing you all on the field!
