PTSA Coaches Meeting Notes

Here are my U8 specific notes from the coaches meeting tonight. This stuff is important, so try your best to make it through the entire email. I know you can do it.

Fields Currently Closed
Fields will be closed this week. Practices can begin next week.

eKidsSafe
Everyone, yes Everyone, must register with eKidsSafe this year. Please do this right now. It's $10 and you'll be reimbursed by PTSA. Plus, its easy. Just make sure you select "Peters Twp" for the Member Club. I'll send a separate email describing the program and reimbursement.

Coaches Bag Vouchers and Coupons and Soccer Balls
If you were not at the coaches meeting (Grzyb, Ricci, Deyarmin, Brucker), please arrange a time to pick up your coaches bag voucher and team coupon packet from me. I'll also explain to you what needs to be done. Please pick up your box as soon as possible. We have 10 days before we loose the equipment. I'll be giving each team new medical kits and two new size 3 soccer balls in the near future.

Practice Schedule Completed
The U8 Boys practice schedule is completed. It's now available from the web site. Let me know if I made any mistakes. I believe everyone got their first choices.

Field Diagrams
I've added two field diagrams to the web site. One for PSC and one for Venetia. All of your practices will be on Fields #3, #4, and #5 at PSC. Venetia Field B (for Boys) will be used for games.

Field Lining
If you are one of the early games at PSC, it is your responsibility to make sure those fields get lined before the weekend. Same thing for Venetia - which is easier since there are only two fields. You can get paint equipment for Venetia Field at Rees Park. It can be found in an unlocked container on the upper field,

Game Schedules
Game schedules will be released in the next day or so. Say tuned.

Team Photos
Team Photos will be scheduled in the Spring this year.

Youth Night
There are two Youth Nights at the high school. We encourage you to bring your entire team to the games. It's free and fun for the kids. They are September 18 (Boys vs Chartiers Valley) and September 26 (Girls vs Ringgold). Both games are at PTHS Stadium.

This Weekend
If you've made it all the way down here, pat yourself on the back. Now comes the zinger. I'm looking for some volunteers to re-line the U8 fields this weekend. The fields are already configured, so they just need repainted. Also, I want to make sure that we mark each field with a really big number (this has not been done yet) to minimize confusion for parents. I'd like to get two volunteers for PSC and one for Venetia. With three volunteers it should take about an hour or so. So, who can help?
