Subject: Youth Night - Player Process at PTHS Varsity Soccer Matches 9/18 & 9/2
Commissioners,
Here's the process players / parents should go through on the Youth Nights ... please communicate to Coaches:
The Peters Township Soccer Boosters Youth Night Coordinators will be at the stadium by 6:00 for Youth Night Players can arrive that early for checking in at the table (they can watch the JV games which start at 6:00), although most of the youth players won't arrive until 7:00 – 7:30. A table near the ticket booth will be set-up for the players and teams to register and get their PTSA 30 Year Anniversary T-shirts (for the first 250 players, each Youth Night) and free raffle tickets (for prizes). The Coordinators will stay at the table until half time of the Varsity game. The players and teams are to congregate on the far side of the ticket booth area twenty minutes before half-time (near the table). Then, the players will walk out on the field when their team is announced – then they can form a "victory tunnel" for the Varsity players return to the field for the second half.
Also, I've left some extra "flyers" in glassine bags at the PSC and Rees fields this morning ... please encourage all coaches to have their players participate on 9/18 (boys) and 9/26 (girls). Flyers are attached again if you want to send another email to Coaches.
Attached are "Flyers" for the Peters Township Soccer
Youth Nights at the High School Varsity games on Sep 18 (boys) and Sep 26
(girls). Please send these attachments to every Coach and encourage them to
have as many players attend as possible, individually or as a team. To
encourage attendance, PTSA 30 Year Anniversary T-Shirts will be given to the
first 250 youth players attending each night (boys on 9/18 and girls on
9/26). I will have hard copies available for all Commissioners for their
Coaches at the Board Meeting, as well. Let's promote the heck out of this
... attendance last year was really low ... again, please encourage all
players to attend and watch the #1 ranked varsity teams (PTHS Indians' boys
and girls) in WPIAL. Most of the players on those varsity teams are
graduates of PTSA In-House and Travel Soccer ... watching them play will
spark our youth players to become more ambitious soccer players and
advocates. The high school varsity pace of play is fast, very fast, the
players have great technical skills, and the tactical game is very high
level ... Coaches, turn the game into a coaching tool for your players!"
Finally, the PTSA 30 Year Anniversary T-Shirts (500) have been delivered to me ... they'll be distributed on Youth Nights.
We hope the games, T-Shirt promotion, prize raffle AND attention on PTSA PLAYERS at halftime draws a lot of the PTSA youth players to the events.
