U8 Girls Team Number Drops Below Minimum

Attention Everyone Interested in the Girls U8 team:

After our phone calls yesterday, two of the girls we were planning on dropped out, which puts our number for this team below its minimum limit. That means we need two more girls for this team or there is no girls U8 team for Hamilton (We need a minimum of 8).

It would have been really nice if those families would have told us earlier, but they didn't. So, do you know any of your girls' friends who are not signed up for softball who might be interested in joining the team? Can you get them to the registration night?

I would encourage you all to still come to the registration night, and try to recruit a couple of your daughter's friends. If they can't make it tomorrow night, can they get together by Wednesday?

I really think we can still have a team for these girls if we get busy looking RIGHT AWAY.

Lets' start talking to each other, and get'r done.

See you tomorrow night!!

Bill Mousel

PS. Here is the current list of girls signed up for the U8 team:
Bronkhorst, Justine
Driesenga, Brittany
Hancock, Autumn
Haverdink, Shea
Johnston, Leah
Poel, Sophia

Player Registration Night

Dear Soccer Parent,

Plan to respond to the email you receive regarding registration night with a reply. This will save our volunteers the work of calling those who did not respond. If you do not receive an email, let me know at hamsocteamdirector@gmail.com

First we want to thank you and confirm your child's participation in the spring 2009 season with Hamilton Soccer Club and to inform you of our upcoming "Registration Night".

Registration night is scheduled for Monday, February 9th from 6:30 p.m. -8:00 p.m. in the cafeteria at Hamilton Middle School. The format is similar to an open house, you can come at any time during the 6:30-8:00 p.m. window.

It is very important that you make every effort to attend registration night AND BRING YOUR SOCCER PLAYER.

We realize that some of you have previously turned in your information, unfortunately, upon further review, we have found that it is not all complete (i.e. missing child's signature, not notarized, no photo, etc.). For this reason, we are requesting that even if you have paid and previously turned in your form, that you please stop in to registration night so that we can make sure we have everything needed to register your child with Grand Valley Soccer by their deadline. If you are unable to attend, please contact Bill at hamsocteamdirector@gmail.com (this email) to make other arrangements to collect your information prior to Wednesday the 11th. Unfortunately, if your information is turned in after this date, we will need to pass on to you a $20 late fee that is assessed to us by GVSA.


On Registration night you will need to complete the following:

1) GVSA/Hamilton Soccer Club Individual Player Registration form (extra copies will be available)
• Your son or daughter will have to sign the player registration form
• The player registration form needs to be notarized, a notary will be available at this registration to do this

2) Bring a legible COPY of your child's birth certificate (unless they have played/registered under GVSA before, if in doubt, bring one please)

3) Bring a 1" x 1" photo of your child for their "player card". If you do not have a photo, we will have a camera on hand to take one.

4) Complete a "Medical Waiver Form"

5) Uniform orders will be taken and size samples will be on display (this is included in your registration fee)

6) Registration fees of $65.00 will be collected if not paid already (checks payable to "Hamilton Soccer Association")

Again, because it is imperative that you attend registration night on Monday the 9th, we would like to verify that you have read this e-mail and can attend. PLEASE REPLY TO YOUR E-MAIL (hamsocteamdirector@gmail.com ) simply with a "GOT IT". Those we do not hear from we will be calling this weekend.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you and your soccer player at registration night.

Sincerely,

HAMSOC Board

Mark your calendar.. Monday night, 2/9/09

A preview for those of you following the blog. The board met tonight, and decided we need to schedule a registration night this coming Monday from 6:30pm to 8:00pm for all club players. Sorry about the short notice. There are several things we need from each player, and our deadline for team rosters and team fees is coming quickly.

More details (like the location and what to bring) should follow tomorrow, so stay tuned. Thanks!!

I wanted to update the families who are following. On Friday we mailed in the team commitment forms and the payments associated with that for the teams I listed on Jan. 20. We still do not have the paperwork back for all of the players, so if you have not sent in your player registration form, please do so today. I also notice that only 18 people are following the blog, and there are nearly 90 players this Spring, so pass the word! Have people follow the blog, or get in contact with Bill Mousel so that we maximize communication.

Coming soon: a date for you to come and finish paperwork, and get a list of the players on your team.
