To all Near South parents:
Some details as we prepare to enter out 5th year of 100% volunteer/non for profit youth soccer:
Soccer registration is $70 for 8 weeks of soccer, uniform, team photo, and trophy. The season runs 4/6/10-6/5/10 minus Memorial Day weekend at Dunbar Park, 31st and Indiana. Team slots will be first come, first served as we are expecting over 450 players this year. Little League will start 6/10.
Coaches, refs, sponsors and central tent help are needed.
There will be a spring break youth soccer skills clinic the week of 3/29/10 available at the following link: http://www.uksocca.com/Thomas2009/WebFlyer.php?c=35500&f=7&t=0
Registration is closed and rosters are being formed but I have a few 5u/6u slots and I still need some 8u boys. Coaches will notify parents in the last week of March.
If you have paid online make sure you mail a registration application to me also to complete registration. If you have a neighbor or classmate, let them know as we still have some slots open for 8u boys, 5u and 6u teams.
The Near South Youth Association will be having a Membership drive at Kroll’s on 4/22. Getting active in NSYA will help the drive for more near south youth activities like Track and Field, Swim Team, Floor Hockey, Volleyball, Girl’s Softball, Flag Football etc. SIGN UP AT THE BELOW EVITE FOR A FUN ADULT’S NIGHT OUT:

Soccer tots ages 18months to 48 months can register for lessons to take place at Dunbar Park during game times: http://www.chicagoindoorsports.com/soccertots.html go to summer specials. There are 2 sessions, and one session is currently full.
I still need 1-2 assistant coaches for 5u and 6u teams. As always, we need sponsors for the league. Please contact me for sponsor info.
Rosters will be posted here in the last week of March. Coaches will be asked to contact team players prior to the first practice on 4/6/10. The first game is 4/10. As with seasons past, we will play indoors if there is rain on Saturdays.
Team uniforms will be handed out at the first practice. Opening ceremony will take place 4/17 with a player parade lead by the DeLaSalle drum corp, balloon, facepainting and fun. All players must have shin guards, 8u and up must wear cleats. Cleats are optional for 5u and 6u.
UKsocca will run skills clinics during spring break and for one week in July at Ping Tom Park for all Near South Players. Below is the link for the affordable camp, go to IL, region 1516 for more info: http://www.aysosoccercamps.org/
