Important Coaching Update From BC Soccer

Dear Coaches,

BC Soccer would like to bring to your attention that as of February 1, 2012 you will not have access to your BC Soccer E-Coaching profile.

The Active Network, who is the system provider, is no longer supporting either of the E-Coaching and E-Referee on-line registration and management systems.

BC Soccer understands the impact of not having these systems to support the Coaching and Referee Programs (i.e. clinic registration, annual referee registration, payment collection, assessments, etc.). We understand our members use these systems, as do we, on a regular basis. We want to reassure our coaches that we are hard at work looking to develop an appropriate solution to address this situation.

Although the nature of the solution is not finalized, we want to make all aware that it may be developed in a phased approach, with a short-term (6 month) solution followed by a more permanent / long-term solution. We will ensure to provide appropriate communication when we have solid updates.

We are extracting all information from the current systems, however we want to ensure no information is lost. We strongly recommend that all coaches, if you have not done so already, log onto your BC Soccer profile and download, save and print your letters, certificates, assessments, evaluation, etc. to ensure you have copies of your soccer credentials on file. Public / user access to the system will be turn off as of February 1, 2012.

BC Soccer would like to extend our thanks to you for your support during this transitional stage.

WLYSA Two-Deep Policy

The Williams Lake Youth Soccer Association requires two-deep adult supervision at all times in order to protect the interests of both the youth and the volunteers. This means that all WLYSA volunteers, whether they are a coach, an assistant coach, a team parent, a phoning parent, or a team manager, must always have another adult with them when they are with one or more WLYSA players. The second person can be another WLYSA volunteer or a parent/guardian, but must be a person over the age of 19.

Parents/guardians should never leave their child alone with a single adult. The parents/guardians of a child in the Mini Division must remain with their child at all times. It is recommended that parents/guardians of youth players in the Senior Division and parents/guardians of players on rep teams remain with their child at all times.

Indoor Soccer Starting Week of October 24th

Indoor soccer will be starting the week of October 24th. The U4-U6 age group will be starting the week of October 17th.

Unfortunately there are some age groups (2003-2004 girls and 1999-2000 boys) that are unable to play due to lack of registered players.

Please see schedule for times and locations.

If you have any questions, please e-mail Danielle at admin@wlysa.com.

Criminal Record Checks

If you are a volunteer with WLYSA (e.g. Coordinator, Coach, Phone Parent, etc.) we MUST have a current Criminal Record Check on file. If you did not complete one for the outdoor season please pick up a form at the WLYSA office or at Willie’s Western Wear and take the completed form into the RCMP station ASAP. There is no charge.

DDC

WLYSA is once again this year, running an indoor training program for competitive players.

The indoor training program is based on the District Development Center model put forward by BC Soccer. The training is heavily based on improving individual ball skills, enhancing positional play and quicker read/reaction to the play. Past participants in the Indoor Training Program have improved considerably and are continuing to see rapid development in their outdoor soccer skills.

All are welcome within this program which will improve player performance but participants need to know that it is geared for the competitive player. Players will receive three hours of instruction per week from mid October until Spring break. Participating players are restricted to thirteen years of age and older.

Sunday 3:00 pm Columneetza
Wednesday 8:00 pm TRU
Actual start date TBA

Fee:

$50 if previously registered with WLYSA for the 2011 Outdoor Season
$85 if NOT previously registered with WLYSA for the 2011 Outdoor Season
