Coaches Bags for 2007-2008, First Aid Kits, Ice Packs and Game Balls.

U8 Boys Coaches:

Here are some notes from Brad Carpenter, our Equipment Director. Looks like we only have enough size 3 balls for each team to get 1 new ball. If you don't have any size 3 balls from last year ( i.e. you did not coach U8 or U6) then make sure to keep your Dick's kit - it has 2 size 3 balls for you to keep (so, you'll end up with 3).

Looks like game balls and medical kits will be available next week. I'll pick them up, place them at my house, and email everyone when to pick them up.

South Hills Only
All Dicks Bags should be picked up at the South Hills Village Dicks location only.

Extra Bags/Kits
All extra bags (if you were a prior coach and don't need a new kit) should be placed in the Peterswood soccer storage shed for future use.

Please pick them up soon
Please don't let the bags go unclaimed after all the effort Dicks went through to gather bags from different states and have them sent to South Hills Village for our use.

First Aid Kits
First Aid kits will be available next week.

Game Balls
We have Peters Soccer Game Balls coming next week.  We have ordered enough for each coach to have a game ball.

Goal bags (i.e. sand bags)
It was a rough year for goal bags.  It appears that we lost (theft or mowing) about 1/3 to 1/2 of our bags.  I have more and will place them this weekend, but I am working on an alternative, which could be more durable or at least cheaper for the association.

Don't let kids hang on the goals
The goals and nets have all been fixed and should be ready for the season.  Please inform the coaches to watch the players and their siblings regarding hanging on goals, tearing nets off the goals, etc.

Elm Grove Goal Missing
Lastly, it appears that one of our 7x12' goals was taken from Elm Grove.  The goal was at the field when we sodded a month ago and gone last weekend when we lined Elm Grove.  If anyone has any ideas who or where the goal went, please let me know.
