February, 2004
Dear Sir or Madam;
Attached is a registration form for the House League summer 2005 soccer
season. You will receive a separate letter & form for each child you had
signed up last season. Should you need additional Registration forms,
please make a copy of the one attached, or, you may
download a copy from the League’s web site,
http://www.wilsonysl.org.
We strongly prefer that you return your form's to us by mail. Your
envelope must include the proper payment and be post marked by February
21, 2005 to be eligible. The League will hold two days of
registrations at the Wilson Town Hall on Saturday February 19th, 2005
from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM. No registrations will be accepted after that
date for any reason. We will not be offering late registrations or
walk-up registrations (at the soccer fields).
The League will continue our policy of assigning players to teams on a
first-come, first-served basis, regardless of how long they have played
with the league. We will date registration forms as they are received
and assign players to teams according to:
1) How many coaches volunteer, and 2) How early you returned your forms.
We were VERY FORTUNATE and GRATEFUL that we had enough coaches last
season, and no one who registered was turned away, We encourage all
parents to consider coaching this coming season to ensure success again
this year. Anyone who registers and who cannot be accommodated (due to
lack of available coaches) will be notified and have their money
refunded by the end of March. We strongly suggest you mail your forms
back early to have the best possible chance of having your
child/children assigned to a team. Note; children of parents who
volunteer to coach are assured that all their children will be placed on
teams.
This year we will continue our new procedure of informing players of
their team & coach assignments by mail, during the first week of April.
As these are prepared by volunteers, they may not all be mailed out on
the same day, so please be patient with our system.
-
Minis are children who are presently in Pre-K and Kindergarten. Pre-K children must be 5 years old by June 1, 2004 (born June 1, 2000 or before) to be eligible. Sorry, we cannot accept 4 year old youths in the program. Copies of Birth Certificates will be required with all Pre-K registrations.
-
Intermediates are children presently in Grade 1 and Grade 2.
-
Juniors are youth presently in Grades 3, 4, and 5.
-
Seniors are youth presently in Grades 6 and up, and who have not reached their 15th birthday by June 1, 2005.
This year we will continue the use of
experienced soccer instructors to run a number of the team practices,
during six of the eight week program. From our past experience. players
and coaches benefit greatly from this investment. Some parents just
starting to coach may find running practices difficult, as they may not
have prior coaching and/or soccer experience. This program is intended
to benefit those new coaches as well as the players. We hope this
program will encourage more parents to volunteer as coaches, allowing us
to have more teams with fewer players, which means more playing time for
each player.
-
When: Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM starting May 16th through the beginning of July (the dates have moved up earlier in hopes of having less conflict with baseball).
-
Where: Thomas Marks Elementary School grounds for all practices and games (children should attend practices along with playing in the games.).
-
Siblings: It is our policy to place siblings of the same age group on the same team. If you are signing up siblings in the same age group, please indicate in the margin your preference: do you want them together or not.
-
Referees: We will have referees at each game. If you are interested in becoming a referee for the House League, or, want information on referee courses to qualifying as a travel soccer referee, please contact Mrs. Bridget Murray at 751-6733.
