MYSA Fall 2010 Call For Coaches 06/17/2010 Hello fellow soccer enthusiats, is the "Cup" great or what !!!. The online registration is up, and we have started planning for the fall season. One of the keys to the success of youth soccer is enthusiastic coaches who emphasize fun, improvement of soccer skills and good sportsmanship. If you are interested in being a coach or an assistant coach this season, please send an email to Dave Huckaby at edavidhuckaby@gmail.com, with the subject line: "MYSA Call for Coaches" and include the information listed at the end of this message. Please do this in addition to indicating your desire to coach on your child's registration form. Also, it would be great help to our team organization process, if you could both send an email and register your child (if applicable) by July 5. The pre-season coaches meeting and team organization meeting is planned for early August. We are also planning to hold an introductory youth coaching clinic (~3 hours) in August as well.

Please follow the field schedule
-------------------------------
I would like to remind everyone to please respect the field
schedule/assignments both for games and practices. There are a number of reasons. When possible we try to rotate games amongst fields to minimize excessive use on a particular fields. In addition, we need to coordinate activities between the teams/players of several Morgantown/Mon County soccer organizations, the referees plus any visiting teams. Also note
that most teams/coaches like a 15-30 minutes to warm-up before the game, this has been accounted for in spacing of the games on the schedule, but has not explicitly put on the schedule. If you need to reschedule or have some other associated issue (another team/organization not following the schedule) please let us know.

(Risk Management) US Youth Soccer, and the West Virginia Soccer Association (WVSA) requires all coaches and assistant coaches to participate in the Risk Management program. The WVSA Risk Management program is designed to foster safe circumstances for every person, and especially every child, who participates in a US Youth soccer affiliated activity. It is a program to inform all WVSA personnel and WVSA members concerning the risks associated with our youth soccer programs, and includes a criminal background check for violent crimes or crimes against children. The application is through a secure online website. The submitted form will be kept in strict confidentiality by WVSA or each of its respective member clubs and will be updated annually. In the case of MYSA applications, only the MYSA Risk Management Coordinator and the WVSA Risk Management Coordinator have access to sensitive information. You are allowed to submit one Risk Management application each year. If you have already done so in the spring, you will still need to add additional positions (another club, or another position in your club such as coach for the Fall 2009 season) to your submitted application.
