of enthusiasm was contagious. Congratulations to each of them.
Keep on working!

Mississippi Invitational
Soccer Tournament
MIST hosted 58 girls teams in July and 60 boys teams in August

Opeongo, Renfrew, Mt. Hamilton, and Whitby. We have a growing
reputation for a well-run tournament. Teams enjoy playing within
their own competitive level. The coaches were very pleased with
the high caliber of refereeing, fields and the atmosphere of the
Tournament.
Lorne Musselman and Marjorie Scott, co-coordinators, acknowledge
the hours of work donated by Club volunteers to make MIST such a
success.

Fields Highlights
1. It
was really gratifying to see the fields at Beckwith Park covered
with players. The Municipalities and the Club have done
something wonderful for our community there.
2. The
third field on the Town of Carleton Place property, adjacent to
Notre Dame was ready and well used in the 2005 season.
Notre Dame CHS has made a track
around the school field and the Club has financially supported
the installation of a sprinkler system.
Building Skills for 2006
The
Club’s first ever Fall Program offers players a chance to
improve their skills and provides a bridge from the summer to
winter programs.
Who:
Players who plan to register for the 2006 summer season with the
Carleton Place S.C. (Depending on registration levels, players
from outside the Club may be invited to participate.)

A program to provide a bridge from the summer soccer season to
the indoor winter soccer season. Plus, a special program for
goalkeepers!
Where:
Notre Dame High School fields.
When:
Five consecutive Saturday mornings, starting September 24, 2005,
10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Why:

work with high-level coaches both from within and outside the
Carleton Place Soccer Club, to play some exhibition games, and .
. . most importantly . . . HAVE FUN!!!!
How much:
$60 per player.
Brochures will be

you have not received a brochure, or need information, please
contact Fall Program Coordinator Glenn MacDougall, 257-7384, or
Club Head Coach Peter Menyasz, 253-3201.
Recreational Indoor Soccer
The winter indoors recreational
program will run in school gymnasia in Carleton Place starting
in mid-November. Groups will meet one night a week to practice
skills and play informal games. Players from Soccer School and
older are invited to register. Experienced coaches agree that
year round training develops better ball control and footwork.
It is fun too.
The Goulbourn Lanark Soccer League intends to run an indoor
soccer league starting after Christmas. Details will be
available on Awards Day. We will post detailed information on
the Club website when it becomes available to us.
Registration
Registration for Club members will take place on
Awards Day, Sunday, September 25, from 1:30 to
2:30 p.m. and 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at
Carleton Place High School.
A notice will appear in the
Carleton Place Canadian and Weekender confirming the public
registration time and date.
If you miss these dates you can go to the Club website,
http://cpsc.carletonplace.com and download the winter
registration form, complete it and mail it in.
The soccer programs will be filled on a first received, first
registered basis – so don’t delay. You must be registered to
play. No registration will be done at the gyms.
The exact dates, playing nights and times depend on the
availability of gym space and coaches.
2. Fees
The recreational winter soccer fee will depend on
whether or not the GLSL indoor league occurs and/or the cost of
the technical support. The fee will be finalized before
registration.
Cheques will have to be dated November 1 and made payable to
‘CPSC Inc’. Player fees must be paid in
full at time of registration.
3. Refund Policy
If a player
withdraws before November 1, a full refund will be given.
Withdrawals between November 1 and December 15 will be charged
$20 administration fee. There will be no refunds after December
15. The Treasurer requires all refund requests in writing.
The Club will make a full refund of
a player’s indoor, recreational, soccer fees if the player can
not be placed on a team.
Competitive Indoor Soccer in
Ottawa Soccer Leagues
Division 1, Premier and Regional level soccer, like other high
performance sports, requires a year round commitment. Winter
soccer is an excellent way to keep your skills sharp and
conditioning level high.
Interested coaches organize their own teams, under the banner of
the Carleton Place Soccer Club, and pay their fees directly to
the winter leagues in Ottawa. The team registration cost per
player will depend on the number of players on a team: more
players/ team = lower fee/player.
The coach and/or team manager will be responsible for collecting
the fees and registering in the respective Ottawa League. The
fees listed below were from 2004.
Level Cost Per Player
Team Size
U12 $100.00 (approx.)
10 Players
U13 and up $100.00 (approx.) 12 Players
The
multi-player family discount does not apply to “competitive”
fees since the registration is outside our Club.
The Club will allocate space for team practices one night/week
in a Carleton Place gym, if these teams want a practice night
near home.
The Club will collect the practice fee of $30 per player.
Player practice fees must be paid in full before practice
sessions begin. The Club will issue refunds for Practice
Fees if there are insufficient players registered to cover the
cost of gym rentals.
PLAYERS:
Player development in soccer and other sports requires player
commitment. Commitment means attending practice, listening to
coaches, doing conditioning activities, and rehearsing what the
coach suggests at the team practice and at home. Parental
support and encouragement will help players develop.
COACHES: The majority of coaches have
their Level 1 Community
Coaching certification. The Club will continue to subsidize
certification courses for coaches on an ongoing basis.
Coaching experience can only be
gained with time and proper support. The Club needs more
coaches. We want new and returning coaches to know that the Club
will support them by organizing workshops or reimbursing costs
associated with other courses.
REFEREES: The referee program set up by Irv Emmanuel and
Bruce Hartill has worked extremely well. Supporting the referees
with kind words and recognizing that they are in charge of
running the game makes our Club stronger.
PARENTS: Parental support and encouragement help players
develop. This is truly appreciated by Club Coaches and
Executive. Thank you, Parents!
Parents of players are the main source of volunteers for the
Club. Our volunteer organization is healthy because it has the
support of a major segment of the community it serves. Perhaps
you volunteered and were not called upon this year. Thanks for
letting us know you were ready. See you in the future.
Some parents of former players and several current players are
involved this year as coaches and referees. They are gaining
valuable experience, contributing to the community, and
developing soccer. The Carleton Place Soccer Club offers this
opportunity to all its members.
THE BOARD: The Board of Directors works all year mostly
behind the scenes to plan and prepare the upcoming season. If
you are willing to help, we would really like to hear from you.
Opening:
The Club requires a new Screening Officer to organize and track
our screening process for Club coaches, managers etc. If you
are interested, please contact Richard Kee.
Club & Team Sponsors
Soccer School is
sponsored by TIM HORTON’S of Carleton Place. Tim Horton’s
donated a shirt for each player in 16 sets of different
colours. Each soccer shirt has Tim Horton’s name on it and the
name “Tim Bits”. The Club thanks Dave Peters of Carleton
Place Tim Horton’s for his very generous donation.
Thanks to the ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION (Branch 192) for all
of the printing services it donates to our Soccer Club.
When you say, “I support the Soccer Club” at the
7 West Café, 10% of your food bill is
donated to the Club. Their support and yours is appreciated.
The Club appreciates the support of all team sponsors, parents
and community businesses for supporting individual teams.
Support from our Local
Municipalities
The
Club has cost sharing agreements with Carleton Place, Beckwith
Township and Mississippi Mills for the development and
maintenance of our soccer fields. Please remember to thank your
elected Councilors
and the Parks and Recreation people for their continued
support and work. Please notice the improvements to the soccer
fields at Beckwith Park and at Notre Dame High School.
President's Notes
My heartfelt thanks
go out to all the coaches, team managers and Board members for
their time and effort on behalf of the soccer community.
These generous volunteers make community-based soccer fun and
affordable. I hope all players and families have had a great
summer season and are looking forward to the fall and indoor
seasons.

Kee
