Sandra (Diana's mom) and Jay (Nia's dad) will be coaching a basketball team in the DDY's 6 and under league. All are welcome to join. It was a lot of fun last year.
One last thing (and this may be hard to believe but) early registration for Spring Soccer 2011 starts Nov. 15th!! Early registration fee will be a lower fee than regular registration so early birds will be rewarded this year! I am planning coaching in the spring and invite everyone to come back.
Keep dribbling.
Practice Tuesday as usual. Keep dribbling.
Team pictures for the Micro age group (ours) will be next Saturday, October 23rd at Renfroe Middle School. An actual schedule for the pictures (before or after the game) will be coming out shortly. I am attaching a pdf of the picture envelope-- so you can get a sense of the options. Also DDYMCA will hand out picture envelopes on the field that Saturday.
The photography company does donate a portion of proceeds back to the Soccer department for scholarships for players the next season. By participating in pictures we help fund scholarships for the soccer program.
If you will be out next Saturday, you can go and take individual photos this Saturday, October 16th with the Jr. Micro age group at Winnona Park.
See you at Winnona ( where we used to play on Saturdays).
Our schedule is now available at the link above. This Saturday's game is at 11:20 AM on Renfroe Middle School Field 1. See you there.
Unfortunately I will not be there, but Madden, my wife, will be running practice. She is much tougher than I am, so tell the kids to be ready to run. If anyone would like to help put, I am sure she would welcome it.
Go Soccerdiles.

We are officially practicing Tuesdays, 6:00 to 6:45 at Columbia Seminary field #2; however, there is no practice tonight. We will be starting next week. The practice location is just a few blocks South (on South Columbia) from Winnona Elementary fields where we used to play our games. The Micros are being relocated to another field-- most likely Renfoe however that has not been confirmed yet.
I will email more later in the week ( I just returned from a long weekend) but as before I will maintain the Soccerdile website where I will post league links, pictures, and what-have-you: http://soccerdiles.blogspot.com/

FYI - there is a neighborhood wide garage sale at Winnona Park area tomorrow. This is probably going to cause even more traffic problems. Please pass this onto your parents so they are prepared. Thanks.
Madden and I will prepare hotdogs, brats, and hamburgers. The other essentials for a cookout include (and I welcome additions here):
crockpot type dish/es (mac and cheese, casserole, chili, backed beans, etc)
cold salads (Potato salads, pasta salads, tossed salads, etc.)
raw vegetables or fruit (watermelon is a necessity at all cookouts)
chips and dips (salsa, 7 layer, cheese-based, guacamole, crab, onion, etc.)
dessert (cookies, pies, crisps, etc.)
beverages (beer,wine cola, juice boxes)
Feel free to volunteer for any item that matches your skill level. Someone selecting a category does not mean someone else cannot choose that same category --just make sure you are not bringing the same thing( (unless they are oatmeal raisin cookies).

P.S. Don't forget we do have a game tomorrow (Tues. @ 6:00 on our practice field).

Coaches,
Just a reminder that the YMCA no longer supplies trophies or medals. It is now the responsibility of the parents. Please consult with your team as to what the parents want to do - buy a trophy, buy a medal, make certificates, or something else. I am attaching a flyer from my trophy vendor. He has come up with a trophy and medal option for the season for the league. If you would like to purchase from him please fill out the form or email him. He will deliver items to the YMCA so all you will have to do is come by and pick up your box. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks.
I have closed the field and cancelled all games for today due to the weather. All Kiddie Kicker games will be rescheduled for the rainout date, May 15th. Pictures will be rescheduled for May 8th. Jr. Micro and Micro games will be rescheduled - just not sure when yet. Thanks.
Enjoy your morning at home.
It was nice talking to many of you this week at practice when I dropped off the photo envelopes. Sorry to the teams who I missed! [this included the Soccerdiles-tkm] For those teams and any players who weren't at practice this week, I have attached a pdf of the photo envelope so parents can view the packages and prices. Remind parents that they need to bring their purse or wallet with them as they must pay for the pictures at the time of ordering.(checks, cash, and credit cards are accepted)
Just to clarify - this is a NEW photographer - TSS Photography. All players must be present to take a team photo - together at the same time. (No cutting and pasting individual pictures onto a team photo) Parents can fill out the photo envelope and Individual pictures can be taken while the team is waiting for all to arrive. Please give the new company a chance as they have a very good reputation.
So if the kids were thinking of getting a haircut or trying out eye black, this is the week to do it.
See you tonight.
I hope everyone can make it. It's a fun game that the kids really get a kick out of.
