Awards and Party After Game Saturday

Saturday is still scheduled to be our last game (although we should have another one to make up), so I would like to propose a potluck cook out and awards ceremony at my place immediately after the game. Madden, Jack, Tommy and I live at 894 Derrydown Way, Decatur Ga 30030. It's just on the other side of South Columbia from Winnona Park.

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).

Make-up game from 4-24-10 rain out

Our make up game for the April 24th rain will take place Tues, May 11th @ 6:00 on our regular practice field. We will be home so wear the blue uniforms. And just to reiterate the game is at 6:00 PM (a couple minutes earlier than we normally start). Go Socerdiles.

End of season awards

Good game Saturday. As the season begins to wind down, it is time again to decide how we want to celebrate the kids' efforts: trophies($5.25), medals($3.00), or something else. Personally I am a fan of medals (they take up less room and can all hang from the same hook), but I put it before the parents for a vote. If you want to respond to me I will tally the votes and make the order. See below a note from the commish and attached an image of the trophy and medal options.

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.

Practice Canceled- You got to be kidding

It started thundering and raining in Decatur. Practice canceled. Stay dry.

Games cancelled for today....

From the commish:

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.

Rain Out

The skies just opened up in Decatur and we will not be able to practice tonight. Stay dry.

Picture Day Information

From the commish:

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.
