 Another Season Well Played Spring 2008

We have just completed the spring 2008 season of AYSO soccer here in Sevier County. I want to say a huge "thank you" to all the people who made this possible. From those on the Board of Directors to the parents of the players and everyone in between. "Thank you." Without the help of volunteers in AYSO there would be no AYSO and our future soccer stars would never be giving the opportunity to shine. Because of YOU they will have this chance to sparkle and hopefully light up their futures with maybe a soccer scholarship to college. It does happen and has happened with players from right here in Sevier County from our AYSO family. So please continue to help and give these wonderfull players this chance.

We know this season was by far not perfect. We do appoligize for that. However, we are striving to correct our short comings and make the next season a bigger success. If you have suggestions or concerns about this past season we would love to hear from you. Without comments and suggestion's we can't improve. Please give us a call at 429-2976. Leave a message and phone number and we will get back to you.

Once again "thank you" to all who made this season happen. Without you there would not have been a Spring Season.

Thanks,

June Douglass

Regional Commissioner, AYSO Region 440

 

Volunteers

This past season we had a large number of people who filled out volunteer forms. This is great. However, unless they follow thru and volunteer to help it doesn't do us much good. We have a critical shortage of referee's. We must have referee's in order to play games. After all this is why your child is signed up to play soccer. So they can play.One ref can't cover the whole field. All games should have three ref's. You can help your child by helping the center ref. Please parents we need people to come forward and help. It it's nothing more that standing on the side line with a flag at your childs game and letting the center ref know which team the ball went out on, this is a help. This will make a difference. Beside what a better place to watch the game from then on the side line in front of everyone else. Think about it. We need your help.

In the little kids, the U5 and U6's we would like to see at least one parent from each team on the field during the game helping the regular coach to coach and ref.

These kids need you. Please step up for your child!

Please email aysoregion440@gmail.com  or call 429-AYSO (2976)

 

All calls will be returned if not answered!

Uniforms

How do I get a uniform?

Once teams have been formed and coaches are given their rosters they will notify the players. At that time they should inform parents of the two uniform sale days.The dates are to be announced. The location is the AYSO Soccer Storage Building on the campus of the Sevierville Walters State Community College. Buliding is located to the far right of the soccer fields.

It will be the parents responsablity to purchase these uniforms at the appointed times and location. Coaches will not be required or responsible for this. AYSO will not make exceptions for special times and dates. PLEASE PARENTS IT IS YOUR PLACE TO MAKE IT TO ONE OF THE UNIFORM SALE DATES.

General uniform information

UNIFORM PICK UP

Uniforms are $40. This includes 2 jerseys, 1 pair shorts and one pair socks. Additional socks are $7.00 per pair. It does not matter if more than one child has the same jersey number. This is not a problem. Please do not request a certain number on the jersey. All players on the same team DO NOT have to have the same color socks!

The region uses a standard uniform, i.e. teams are not permitted to buy their own uniforms. While that's a disappointment to some, it's intended to ease the coach's workload and keep the prices low for those on a tight budget. The required uniform package consists of two jerseys (one red, one blue), one pair of black shorts and one pair of socks. See the picture to the left. The package sells for $40. Uniforms must be purchased as a package--items will not be sold separately.

The region anticipates using this same uniform package for the foreseeable future. We sell the uniform package separate from the registration fee because players (or their younger siblings) are often able to use the same uniform set for several seasons. Thus, you save money by not having to buy a new uniform every season.

Keeper Jerseys

We have a few bright keeper jerseys with padding in the elbows. Keeper jerseys sell for $40.
