EYSA Philosophy
We exist to promote the teaching of soccer to our children in an atmosphere that is non-competitive, fun and helps our children become the best they can be. To achieve that goal:
- We do not honor individuals or teams, publish standings or sponsor playoff competition.
- We permit 2 practice sessions per week beginning May 1st through June 1st.
- We require coaches to make every effort to play each child at least one half of each game in which they participate.
Additional Coaches' Responsibilities
- Insure our game jerseys are not altered in any way.
- Require players to wear shin guards under their game socks and wear shoes that are designed for soccer.
- Be a positive role model for your team. Dress appropriately, leave tobacco and alcohol products at home and show respect for the decisions of the referee.
- Remove those players from the game who are not behaving in a courteous, polite, civil manner.
- Keep players and their family members from hanging on or playing around the soccer goals.
- Upon receiving your roster, please call all your players on a timely basis.
For Your Information
- Season begins June 1st and ends by early August.
- In handing out your game jerseys, be sure to match shirt sizes from your roster with each player's name.
- Be sure to check the website for more information and details on field locations, sponsors, board member contacts and the rules of the game.
