2008 TOIYABE  LEAGUE  INFORMATION

 as of 10.03.2007 – subject to change!

 SCHEDULE

1.      The Season will begin April 1, 2008 and conclude on May 31, 2008 (tentative).

2.      If a mini-tournament can be organized (that’s a call for help!) it will be held either on May 14 or another date. TBD

3.      The following summarizes key dates for general team scheduling purposes:

April 1              1st day of games (tentative, pending Parks and Rec. approval).

April 19-20      Boys Comstock Shootout (no games)

            April 26-27      Girl’s Comstock Shootout (no games)

            May 24-26       Memorial Day Weekend & Davis, CA World Cup Tournament           

4.      Teams will normally play one game during the week and one on the weekend.  We will try to schedule a minimum of 12 games per team; this may require a few games to be scheduled on Sundays.  Some double headers may occur on the weekends to accommodate teams from farther areas like Mammoth and Bishop if participating.  Weekday games will begin at 5:30 PM.  Saturday games may begin as early as 8:30 AM, with the last game commencing at 3:30 PM.  Depending upon the number of teams per division, we will attempt to schedule two games against each team of equal age and ability (i.e. “A” vs. “A”, and “B” vs. “B”), and one game against teams of lesser or higher ability (“A” vs. “B). Game schedules will be available after March 1st and will be posted online at www.ToiyabeSoccer.org

5.      Schedule adjustments. No one has much fun winning (or losing) all of the time. Consequently, our intent is to have the coaches in each division discuss their schedules after the first two weeks of play and adjust them as needed. The goal is to have appropriate competition and challenges for every team.

 FEES

1. The league charges $35 per player listed on the roster. Checks should be payable to AYSO Region 140 for all teams from other regions.

2. Fees will be used for fields, t-shirts, league awards, and training

 

TRAINING

One of the uses to which fees should be put is TRAINING for coaches and players. Capital Soccer Club and AYSO Region 140 are in the process of arranging coaches training with professional coaches. This training will be open to all Toiyabe coaches from all regions! Please check the www.aysocarsoncity.org web site Calendar page for dates and times.

We would also like to have coaches get together as groups and suggest training events for themselves and for their players. Bring forward some ideas and let’s make them happen!

REFEREE TRAINING

The Regional referee course will be offered mid-March. We would like to know whether weekday evenings or weekends are best for attendees. Please email the league coordinator by February 8 with some straw poll of this, and we will then post the date. The date should be posted to the AYSO Carson City web site (aysocarsoncity.org) by February 15.

The assistant referee course will be offered mid-March as a module in the Regional Referee course.
