Coaches Meeting
Coaches Fall meeting: September 8th 7:30 pm Caryl School upper library
Please READ the important information below:
1) CORI: "NEW" CORI Process: each coach, parent manager and ALL club officers must submit a JPEG photo electronically to me, ASAP. I then need to submit your information to the Sate of Massachusetts and then to Mass Youth Soccer. This is a HUGE change from the process in the past. Even if you have done your CORI in the past year you will need to still submit a photo to me. If you do not submit a photo ASAP to me, this will hold you up from coaching this fall.
2) Parent managers for your team: must also volunteer as managers. If you wish to have a parent manager for your team please reach out to them ASAP, as they will need to volunteer (at dssoccer.net) and submit a photo of themselves to me for the CORI process.
3) Fall coaches meeting: will take place on September 8 at 7:30 pm Caryl School 2nd floor library. This meeting is mandatory for all coaches.
4) Uniforms: Please send an email to your team reminding them that if they don't have a uniform, they will need to purchase one at Tri Valley Sports in Medway starting on July 25th. Information on the uniforms is on our website dssoccer.net.
5) Note about practice times: Two practice times are allotted in the fall. Practice times are Mon-Fri 4:00-5:30 and 5:30 -7:00 and Sunday times are available. More information to follow on whom you should contact about scheduling of practices.
6) Coaches in your email to your team: please request from parents any potential player issues or concerns prior to the first practice. Chris Browne (referee coordinator) suggests that coaches are reminded to look forward to any scheduling difficulties they may have around national holidays, bar mitzvahs and be proactive about games that require rescheduling and the new date and time.
7) NEW COACHES or any COACH that needs a coaching card: Up to date coaching cards are mandatory for all coaches) I will have new coaching cards available for all new coaches at the Sept 8th meeting, and coaching stickers will be available for current coaches. All returning coaches please contact me if you need another card made.
8) Equipment: Each coach will be issued an equipment bag at the meeting on September 8th.
BAYS SEASON starts/ends: Starts on Saturday, September 10th and ends Saturday November 12th. BAYS schedule will be released around the last week in August. You will be emailed once this information has become public.
I will see you on Thursday September 8, at 7:30pm at the Caryl School. Please contact me with any questions. spcottrell@verizon.net
