Ignore the "don't sign before..."

It has come to my attention that the statement "do not sign before June 23" appears on the GVSA form. Still, it is the only form they have provided, so go ahead and sign and send it in. GVSA is thinking about the 2009-2010 season when they make this statement.

Go ahead and sign the form and send it in.

These are the proposed teams awaiting commitments from players:

Boys U13
Boys U12
Girls U12
Boys U11
Girls U10
Boys U9
Girls U8

Done!

Invitations have been sent via email. If you didn't receive anything, let me know by commenting on this post!

Some emails did not go through. I will follow up with these soon. But now, to bed. Good night!!

1. When is the season, and when will games be?
The season consists of 8 games roughly starting the weekend following Spring Break. Four would be in Hamilton, and four would be away (GVSA tries to have teams playing other teams within a 50 mile radius). Games are likely to be on Saturdays.

2. Who will be my child’s coach?
Coaches will be determined next. Please let me know if you have an interest in coaching or even in helping to coach. For the safety of our players, all of our coaches must have a Risk Management Card indicating a cleared background check.

3. What does the U mean in U9?
It stands for "under" as in "under 9 years old". So a child playing U9 this Spring would have to have their 9th birthday after July 31, 2008. The same rule would apply to other age divisions as well.

4. What does "playing up" mean?
A child who is young enough to play U8 but plays U9 (in the older age group) is said to be "playing up".

5. When is the next round of tryouts?
The next round of tryouts for Hamilton Soccer Club will take place in June. Those will be for both Fall of 2009 and Spring of 2010. If you follow the blog, you will be notified automatically as soon as a date is set for those tryouts.
