- June 2005 Club News -

Summer Soccer Season is Now Underway

Our Club has 1143 players registered from 725 families.  A special thanks goes to our registrar Hal Garrett, assistant registrar Angela Dyck and club administrator Leyla Read for getting this mammoth job completed. We warmly welcome all returning and new players.

Soccer School has 19 teams of 268 enthusiastic soccer players aged 4 to 7.  Our Club is fielding 37 teams in the Goulbourn Lanark Soccer League, 16 teams from U10 to U18 in East Region Soccer League, and 8 adult teams. 

Good soccer to all teams!

Soccer Experience = Fields + Coaches + Referees

Soccer Fields News

The Club wishes to express our appreciation again for the ongoing support of Beckwith Township, the Town of Carleton Place and Mississippi Mills with the development of soccer fields for the enjoyment of our community.

The advances we’ve made in both the number and quality of fields amaze those who have been with the Club for three or more years.  A third full field, on Carleton Place land beside Notre Dame Catholic High School, is in full use.

Additional parking at Beckwith Park is available in the area south of the baseball diamonds.  Please be the first from your team to park up there – it will set an example for all others arriving after you.

Many thanks to the Read family and volunteers for getting fields, goals and nets prepared for the season.

Coaching News

We have a very impressive group of coaches for all our teams again this year.  Their commitment to a positive soccer experience for players is unparalleled.  Most of our GLSL coaches have taken one or two Community Coaching Certification Clinics.

We sincerely appreciate all the time and expertise that Ruben Vella as Head Coach has put into getting the teams up and running for the season.  Peter Menyasz is now the Club’s Head Coach.

Congratulations to the Coaching Committee – Ruben Vella, Hal Garrett, Carroll O’Keefe, Angela Dyck, and Peter Menyasz - for doing the huge job of getting the players allocated to teams and the coaches assigned.

Refereeing News

Irv Emmanuel, Bruce Hartill and Kevin Read have organized an awesome group of referees this year.  Many of our refs are young people.  Encourage the referees by showing them much consideration and respect.  They are the ones in charge of the games.

CPSL Volunteers Rule!

The growth of our Club reflects the dedication of a great number of members who generously give time, energy and commitment to soccer in our communities.  Volunteers make our Club tick.  The coaches, referees, board members and the many individuals who help with activities all season help the Club succeed.  Thank you to each and every one of you.

We are continually looking for more support.  If you can’t spare some time this season, think about it for next year. But, during this season, please be encouraging to everyone who is part of our Club.

Everyone can show support -

ˇ         Be positive with all comments towards players during practices and during games.

ˇ         Be respectful of opposing teams.  Acknowledge good plays on both sides. Teams and individuals learn and improve with competition.

ˇ         Show respect for all referees whether from our Club or other clubs.  The refs are the ones who have passed tests on the laws and they are essential to the games.  Keep spectator comments either positive or silent.

ˇ         Support your coaches and managers.  They are giving freely of their time so the games and practices can go on. Do not ask coaches and managers to drive your child.  Please stay with your child at the soccer field.

ˇ         Thank members of your Board of Directors when you next see them.  They freely spend many, many hours each month throughout the year to ensure the winter and summer seasons run as smoothly as possible.  Constructive suggestions are welcome; more so if accompanied by a willingness to participate. 

ˇ          Join the winning team; volunteer a few hours to help. Talk with someone on the Club Contact List.

We are looking forward to a terrific season of exciting soccer in our area.  Come out and enjoy it with your player.

At Beckwith Park there are hundreds of children at play.  You need to drive extra safely.

Community Sponsors

We are pleased to recognize the support of our community for the Soccer Club. Please show support for our sponsors.

Throughout the year, the Royal Canadian Legion provides photocopying privileges for the Soccer Club.  We gratefully acknowledge their ongoing support and cooperation.

Tim Horton’s continues to support the youngest players by providing shirts for each team of Soccer School.  All the kids enjoy a free Timbit and drink for each player on Soccer School night.  We extend our sincere thanks to Dave Peters and all the Tim Horton’s staff.

Tomahawk Technologies Inc. hosts the Club website at cpsc.carletonplace.com.  We sincerely appreciate this support.

New FUND RAISERS!

7 West Café located on Hwy 7 supports our CPSC.  Please go and enjoy a meal there.  Identify that you want to support our soccer club.   Malik Zekry, the owner, will donate 10% of your food bill to us from Sunday to Thursday.  He has private rooms for soccer teams’ parties.   Thanks Malik.

The Club supports KidsFutures.  It is a fundraiser for you and the Club.  Printed information will follow.

(Girls' weekend, July 16-17; Boys' weekend, August 6-7)

The Club is hosting the 2005 Mississippi Invitational Soccer Tournament for players U 9 to U 16/17 over the two weekends listed above.  The highlights of our tournament are:

ˇ          MIST is distinctive because we restrict registration to Division 1 or entry-level competitive teams.

ˇ          Teams are guaranteed a minimum of 4 games.

ˇ          Medals will be awarded for first, second, third place winners and consolation game winners.

Teams have entered from eastern and southern Ontario.  Our tournament is growing and we are expecting over 100 teams over both weekends.  Come out and watch this good level of soccer.

Goulbourn Lanark Soccer League Cup

 

U8, U9 & U18       August 25, 27 & 28

 

U10 – U17       September 8, 10 & 11

NOTE: the GLSL website is www.glsl.ca.

The awards and trophies won for the season games will be presented on these two weekends.

The League Cup is a weekend of soccer with separate games, playoffs and awards.  The players love this format. Count on your first Cup game to be scheduled on the Thursday before your weekend.  Again this year, we’ll try to have the round robins completed by the end of Saturday.

Soccer School Wrap-up (August 25)

Dr. Rob Earle, Chiropractor, sponsors the end of soccer school season BBQ.  We are very grateful for his generous support.

On a safety note, please do not drop off players and leave the soccer area.  If you must leave, please place your child in another parent’s care, and inform the player and the coach of who that care person is.  Soccer is a physical sport where serious injuries are possible.  Not only would coaches have logistical problems taking an unsupervised child to the  hospital, but we would also have problems contacting the player’s parents.

Carleton Place Soccer Club Awards Day (End of September)

Please watch for the next newsletter, which will contain the full details about our year-end wrap-up.
