Why do the schedules change?

Coaches, parents & players:  The schedule process is not an easy one.  First, we rush to form a schedule so that the referee association has adequate time to load it and start assigning referees.  As soon as coaches and parents see the schedule, issues arise.  A sample of issues includes: First Communion day, coaches with multiple teams, travel team schedules developed later that cause additional conflicts).  For those that do not know Classic’s primary policy, we value our customers!! (parents, players & coaches included!!).  We understand that schedule changes cause disruptions, but in the end, the kids get to play the games and everyone should be content.  Thus, we try to accommodate most all requests coming through the coaches.  Obviously, at some point, we say "play the games" as the disruption outweighs the need.

Thank you and enjoy the season!!    Toby

SASA has created a U6 - U8 coaching manual that will be provided to all U6 & U8 coaches this spring.  The manual is a compilation of coaching best practices for young players and includes numerous sections providing guidance and information for both new and experienced coaches.  Numerous practice activities are described and illustrated.  The manual will be a benefit to coaches and parents!

The Classic Division is entering its third season with instructors that are focused on training in accordance with the published VYSA training priorities.  Classic Division teams are scheduled to participate with three top-licensed coaches throughout the season at various sites throughout the county.

This spring we will be looking to have two nights of team training (Tuesday, Thursday), and a night of specialized activities (Wednesday).  All sessions will have technical themes and coaches will again sign their teams up to attend sessions.
