Hello Soccer Coaches-

Soccer events are coming up. Here are the details.

Intermediate Level Coaching Course.
For all of you who have taken the youth coaching certification course, we are offering the next level. Pete MacPhail of the AYSO National Board is coming back up to Maine (he has been here twice in recent years to run the Youth course), to instruct AYSO's Intermediate Coaching Course.

The 15-hour course focuses on tactical situations and set plays. It will begin Friday evening, May 31, go about eight hours on Saturday, June 1 and finish up Sunday morning, June 2. We do not have exact times scheduled yet.

Please let me know if you are able to attend or have any questions.


Youth Coaching Course.
For those of you who have not completed our certification course, we will be offering the 8-hour course again two or three times this summer. The proposed dates are June 21-22, August 9-10 and, if needed, August 23-24.


Additional Coach Training.
The MLS coaches will again hold age specific coaching sessions for us evenings during the camp week of August 19.
Also, Rob Snow is planning a series of coach training sessions on Saturday afternoons during the season - a Soccer Academy!
And, Janet Judge, an experienced player & goalkeeper coach, will hold keeper training for us at the end of the summer.

More details on all of these offerings will be announced later.


Registration.
Registration for the Fall 2002 AYSO season will be Tuesday, June 4 and Wednesday, June 5 from 6:30-8pm in the Drowne Road School multi-purpose room.

That is it for now. I hope see you at registration or out coaching soccer again this fall.

Thanks again for your participation in the AYSO soccer program.
