Board Member Positions Opening

It is time for a small change of the guard.

Board positions are opening up this season. Board members serve a 3-year term, and serve in a number of capacities.

If you are interested in being on the board, please email John DeNeef at webkeeper@hamsoc.com for an application.

We will be meeting the last Thursday of June, and it would be great to have the applications a week before that so new board members can be "on board"(Sorry, I couldn't think of a better way to say that).

Tryout Dates and other news.

Tryouts for the 2009-10 season will be on Monday, June 15 at the high school practice field.
They are open to all age-levels from U8 to U19. If there are enough older players to form a team, the cost may vary from that for the younger players.

U10 and below tryout from 6:00-7:00 pm.(tenth birthday after July 31)
U11 and up tryout from 7:00-8:00 pm.

Come giving yourself adequate time to warm up. During the tryouts, each player will be given a score which will first determine if the player makes the team, and then will help determine the tier for that team.

We do not plan to allow players to play up in order to make minimum team requirements. A player will only be allowed to play up if their score from the tryouts indicates that it would be appropriate.

This means that we will need to have full rosters at every age level in order to make teams. So feel free to recruit other talented soccer players to come try out that evening. It doesn't cost anything to try out!

Speaking of cost, I would like to give you a number, but we are still trying to determine the cost of field maintenance which will be hired out (something new for us). The cost of referees went up this year as well, so be ready for a price increase. I will try to post it as soon as I have a final number.

We also plan to send out another tri-fold mailer this week, so be looking for that as well.
