St. Coleman's Youth Group Sports League

2016 Fall Soccer Information

Online Registration will be closed on August 28, 2016. (Please note that NO Men's Club Website registration is required in order to register your child(ren) for the Youth Soccer League.)

If you prefer to register in person, we set up the Registration Dates below for your convensience. Please note that you can register in person or online BUT PLEASE DO NOT DO BOTH AS IT WILL CREATE A DUPLICATE ENTRY.

The cost for the program is $50 per child.  There will be four levels of competition:  Kindergarten,  1st & 2nd graders,   3rd, 4th & 5th graders and  6th, 7th & 8th graders.  Games will be played Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:40 and 6:30pm.  First game will be Tuesday, September 6th and the season will conclude Thursday, October 6th.

Please, help us out, do not wait until the last minute to sign up.  Last year we had more than 140 players.  Time is required to assign every player to a team and to allow the coaches’ time to contact those players on his/her roster.  Team rosters will be determined by the program director and his staff.  This will ensure balanced teams.  The coaches will have their hands full, so please be understanding of their time and commitment.  This is an instructional league.  We want the players to learn how the game is played.

Thursday, September 1^st will be an open practice for all players and the coaches.  Let’s use this time to become familiar with the rules and guidelines for our league.

We are always in need of coaches and their assistants, as well as referees. If you know of anyone, have them contact Jack Leniart: 5leniart@bellsouth.net

We are pleased to announce that Coach Jack Leniert will be lending his expertise and leadership to our Soccer Program for 2015! Please join us in welcoming Coach Leniert and thnking him for his dedication and support!

Coaches: We are very much in need of parents to coach. The league can only go forward if we have the volunteers to coach. We are planning on teams for each of four groups (Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades; 3rd, 4th & 5th grades; and 6th, 7th & 8th grades, depending on participation), which means we need firm commitments to coach from at least 16 parents!! Remember that your participation as a coach counts as school volunteer hours!

Brilliance in soccer technique and strategy are not required – the children pretty much figure that out by themselves, and we have a few experts available to give you guidance! What we really need are 16 committed parents who would like to spend a little time with their children.

In addition to coaches, we need at least 16 other volunteers to assist the coaches and a few other volunteers to help out with set up and break down each night. Please keep this in mind as you plan your fall activities and then come out and support your parish and your children.

Uniforms: Uniform shirts and socks will be provided. Shorts will be the St. Coleman PE shorts. For safety’s sake, shin guards and cleats are required to play, but they will have to be provided by parents.

Parents: Even if you cannot volunteer, we need you to be present. For the safety of all our children, the children will be checked in as they arrive and a parent must be present with each child.

Families: Families are encouraged to participate and cheer! Bring all the siblings, but please keep all skateboards at home. The basketball courts will be closed during soccer practice and games.
