March 18, 2007 – ATTENTION ALL PLAYERS PLANNING TO TRY OUT FOR COMPETITIVE TEAMS! The indoor facility at Beckwith Park is not yet ready, so tryouts will NOT start on Tuesday, March 20 as originally planned. Tryouts are now scheduled to start Saturday, March 24. We hope that the indoor facility will be ready for that date, but if not we will conduct the first tryout sessions in high school gyms. Most sessions are on the same days and times as previously scheduled, but there have been a few minor changes.

March 14, 2007 – As a result of the delays in completing the new indoor facility we will not be able to offer any leagues or recreational development programs this season. Any cheques submitted for these programs will not be cashed.

February 28, 2007 - Youth Competitive Team Try-out Schedule has now been posted. Carleton Place Soccer Club (CPSC) and Almonte Soccer Club (ASC) are fielding combined teams in the U9 – U13 age groups under the name Mississippi United for the 2007 outdoor season. Each club will also field separate teams in the U14 – U18 age groups. In cases where both clubs offer a team in these older age groups, players should try out with their respective club. In cases where only one club offers a team in an age group, players from both clubs are encouraged to try out.

January 29, 2007 - Fellow coaches! As much as the cold weather outside suggests otherwise, the summer 2007 soccer season is just around the corner. This year, particularly because of the U-10 through -13 competitive teams we will jointly operate with the Almonte Soccer Club, we will follow a more formal process for coaching assignments.

All individuals interested in coaching a team this summer should please fill out one of the attached forms and forward it to me as quickly as possible, preferably by return e-mail. Please fill out the appropriate form as completely as possible . . . one reason for the applications to ensure that the Club has the most up-to-date information possible on your coordinates (telephone numbers and particularly e-mail addresses) and certification levels.

If you are interested in only being a Head Coach or only being an Assistant Coach, please indicate this in the “Comments” area of the form. Otherwise, I will assume that you are interested in being the Head Coach of the specified team(s) and are willing to accept an Assistant Coach assignment if that position is already filled. Please let me know if there are any coaches you’d prefer to work with.

Please note that all applicants for head coaching positions with competitive teams will be interviewed this year. Applicants for assistant coaching positions may be called in for interviews, particularly if there are more applicants than available positions. For applicants for joint Carleton Place/Almonte teams, the interviews will be conducted by a panel representing both clubs.

If you have any questions about the form or the process, please don’t hesitate to contact me by return e-mail or by telephone at 613-253-3201. Also, please feel free to forward this e-mail to anyone who you believe might be interested . . . they may already be on the recipient list for this e-mail, but it’s far better that they receive a duplicate message than not being aware.

Thank you very much for your commitment of time and energy to help our players learn and succeed in soccer!
