Hello Coaches:
 
The fall season sign up is soon to be here for both WBREC and Traveling for WBSOCCER CLUB. 
 
WBREC: Soccer information was just sent out and should have been in your mail box this past week if you coached last fall.  There will be refs on the field and coaches need to position their teams on the opposite side of the spectators.  More info will be received at the WBREC. coaches meeting identified in the mailing or by contacting jstott@wbl.whitebear.k12.mn.us
 
WBSOCCER CLUB TRAVELING: The window for team sign up is short for Traveling and there are team count maximums that are controlled by MYSA.  Please understand there is a lot of sign up work required for the representatives of WBSOCCER to make the traveling registrations take place with in a very tight window of time (one week) beginning on or about the week July 6th.  With this understood please have the discussion with your parents to determine and generate your roster counts if you are going to be a traveling coach this fall.  Please visit www.wbsoccer.org to help answer your questions.  I have additional information at this time, I will update as I know more
 
The Jamboree:
 
Is on Thursday, July 16th at Beaver Ponds at 6 PM. 
 
All games scheduled on this date have moved to July 21st at 7:15 PM at the fields already identified.  Please update your teams parents to the Jamboree and game date change. 
 
As done last year, the process of generating Certificate of Participation for all Players is taking place.  The goal is to have them filled out and distributed, if possible on the date of the Jamboree.  This focus of the Jamboree is for the players and all coaches on their dedication to a great season. 
 
With the fields being our constraint here is the Jamboree format with three fields:
  • Approximate - Hour long Jamboree
  • Six teams on the three fields with three rotating in at each of the ~15 minute marks
  • This will be five plus a keeper only for the Jamboree
    • Why you may ask - So all players and teams have playing time in this short Jamboree setting 
    • This is also a mini-prep for the players and coaches continuing in the fall
      • Where it is five plus a keeper no coaching at the goal or on the field and there is a ref on the field.
Thank you for keeping it fun and Coaching with White Bear Soccer Club!
 
Best Regards,
