Coaches, please move the goals to new locations on the fields so we distribute their use and protect the grass.

The 2009/2010 evaluation survey has been closed.  We have reviewed all parent comments and the coaching committee is relying on them in their one-on-one discussions with coaches.  Coaches do not see the surveys.

We also asked for parent comments on NWUnited operations.  We received many and have prepared responses to each–again without identifying the person submitting the comment.

We are taking these comments seriously.  All have been reviewed by the Executive Committee and we have prepared responses to each.  You can see the parent comments and NWUnited responses by clicking here.  After you take a look, feel free to send us additional  comments or recommendations.  We believe that a continuing dialog within the NWUnited “family” is very important to making this club that you–and we–want to see.

ACL injuries have sidelined too many NWUnited players.  Some permanently.  ACL injuries are preventable and saving just one player from having to undergo knee surgery is worth investiqating and adopting a proven program to reduce frequency of that injury. And the recommended ACL program is a good initial activity for any practice.

All parents and players must read and sign a “Concussion Information Sheet” in order to participate in the Washington Youth Soccer.  You can confirm that you have read the form on-line at www.skvysa.org.  Go to “Member Log-in”, enter your username and password, and read the form.  In addition, forms are available here:  English Version.  Spanish Version.  For more information email Eric Magnuson

Mmanagers should carry signed copies of the Concussion Information Sheet, along with their signed “consent to treat” forms, to every game and practice.

Thanks

Parents, coaches, players

Please read this article on the ByteSize Soccer web site.  A great reminder of appropriate and inappropriate sideline behavior that will help make the game enjoyable for all.

Here is a strengthening and stretching program to reduce ACL tears. It has had great results in controlled research trials. The program was highlighted in the August issue of Play-On. The risk of ACL tears is higher in girls than in boys. Take a look here.
