Spring must be on its way because soccer registrations keep coming in!
Thank you to all the parents and players who have mastered our new online registration system or who stopped by the office to make sure their children’s registrations were in by the deadline. All new systems have their glitches and everyone has been very patient as we worked through things this year. It has been much appreciated.
We’ve been very pleased with the progress, despite a bit of a slow start getting the new system up and running. Due to the very short time period before the deadline and the fact that we’re looking for more players in certain age groups, we’ve decided to waive the late fee for this year and remember – we’ve lowered fees for most age groups as well. If you’re trying to get that video game controller out of your child’s hand or away from the TV, soccer is an easy way to meet new friends and a great form of exercise.
Missed registration for some reason?
It’s not too late! Visit www.ShuswapSoccer.com to complete your online registration or stop by our office at 351 Third St. SW to get that looked after.
As the player registrations rolled in so did the parents, offering to volunteer but we are still looking to fill a number of volunteer positions. For as little as two hours a week, as a coach or assistant, you can make a huge difference to a group of children’s lives. Don’t worry about your experience level. Free coaching clinics and training manuals are available. Check on our website under coaching tab for more details.
Game day site equipment volunteers, ensuring proper equipment is handed in and out at field.
Team Contacts are needed to distribute information to players through the season with limited time devoted to email or phone communication.
Division co-ordinators are needed for each age group and almost all of this work is done prior to the start of the season.
If any of these sound like areas that you could help please call or email the office to volunteer or get more details.
The new registration system also brought with it a new website.
Information on the site is updated whenever we need to get a new message to our parents and players so be sure to check it regularly. This will be your source for everything youth soccer – including weather-related field closures once the season is underway. We’re working diligently to make sure the site has the answers to your questions, but if you don’t see what you’re looking for please email us at admin@ShuswapSoccer.com or call us at the office at 250-833-5607.
Equipment is being gathered and planning is well underway. Soon Saturdays will find the green space in Salmon Arm covered with soccer players 3 to 18 years of age, from 8:30 in the morning until 8 at night.
Lead up to the season is always a bit stressful in our office but once you’re on one of the fields on Saturday morning with the kids running, laughing and cheering each other on and the parents supporting their kids and visiting with each other over their morning coffee you know that all the last-minute long hours were worth it.
Don’t miss it! Remember, if you haven’t registered your child it’s not too late. Sign up today.
