REC Coach Clinic and Season Orientation

• our Fall season Coach Orientation will feature a session with our resident soccer educator Mickey Kydes.
• Two years ago we did this and it was very popular even among experienced Rec coaches as a refresher on pre-game warmup drills and age appropriate coaching techniques. 
• You'll obtain maximum benefit from the session if you've already perused the valuable information for coaches on the WSA web site. 
• Wes Malowitz, WSA President, Todd Coleman, Rec Co-Director, and I will also discuss the season's key initiatives and logistics. 

Please plan to attend. 

For any questions please contact me.

Fall Rec. League Schedule Finalized

The WSA is pleased to announce that it has finalized the Rec. League Schedule for the fall 2010 soccer season.  This year’s fall Rec. League schedule builds on our efforts to reduce or eliminate as many conflicts with other fall sports as possible.  To that end we have made the following adjustments to last year’s fall Rec. League schedule to avoid conflicts with girl’s field hockey and softball:

            3-4 girls will play from 10:30 -11:45 a.m. & 12 – 1:15 p.m.;
            5-6 girls will play from 9:00 – 10:30 a.m.;
            7-8 girls will play from 8:45 – 10:30 a.m.;
 
In addition, we will have a later time slot (4:30 – 6:00 p.m.) for one of the 5-6 grade boys games each week.  You can view the entire fall 2010 Rec. League Schedule by logging onto the WSA web site and going to the Rec. League tab.
 
Registration for WSA Fall Rec. League soccer is now open.  Please register now for Rec. League soccer under the “Register Online” tab at www.westportsoccer.org.  Rec. League clinics start the week of August 30, 2010 and opening day is Saturday, September 11, 2010.

PLEASE READ!!!  

The WSA’s Fall 2010 Rec. League season kicks off Saturday, September 11, 2010 with a new look for all second grade through high school rec. league teams.  After a yearlong pilot and enthusiastic response from our second graders, the WSA Board of Directors unanimously voted to adopt new uniforms for all second grade through high school Recreation League teams starting this Fall 2010 season. 
 
*** Second grade through Sixth grade Rec. League players will wear different colored “team-based” jerseys. 
 
***Seventh & Eighth grade Rec. Plus players and all High School League players will upgrade their uniforms with two new WSA/Westport jerseys:  1) navy “blue” home jersey; an 2) white “away” jersey. 
 
These age groups will no longer be wearing the reversible jerseys previously used by the WSA. 
 
***Kindergarten and First grade rec. teams will continue to wear the reversible yellow and white jerseys used in the Rec. League last season.
 
Team jerseys for grades 2-6 and the new jerseys for grades 7-12 will be available for purchase at Athletic Shoe Factory (ASF) by early September 2010.   The WSA will notify you when it is time to visit ASF and purchase your new jerseys.
 
Athletic Shoe Factory is located at:  1560 Post Road East Westport CT 06880
