HELP OUR FIRST GRADERS HAVE A SOCCER TEAM
SIGN UP YOUR CHILD SOON
VOLUNTEER TO COACH
Amherst Youth Soccer is set to begin its fall season Saturday, September 11th, and I recently received an email from the organizers saying they still had many spots open. Last year we had enough kids from Crocker Farm register to have a team mostly of kids from our school. It was a fun experience for the kids and we kept the focus on having fun, friendship, and on learning a few basic soccer skills. Most importantly, we emphasized good team cooperation and civility. It would be great if we could do the same this season, especially in a year when we have many new members of our school community.
Please visit http://www.amherstsoccer.org/RegistrationFall2010.htm to register your child or visit the offices of the LSSE at the Bangs Community Center. The cost is $85 (includes late fee and field use fee) or $48 if your child qualifies for free/reduced lunch. The season lasts until November 13th. Practices for the 1st grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd grade teams will be Saturdays, from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at Fort River School.
Also, please consider volunteering to coach or assist. You do need not be an expert and are only required to attend one brief pre-season meeting and to arrive 15 minutes early to the practices. If interested in doing so, let the director of coaches know at christopherstreeter@yahoo.com . I coached the kindergarten team last year, and could help answer any questions you might have.
See you on the fields,
