Teams and schedules are being finalized.  Coaches should be contacting their players after August 21st.  Our first games are scheduled for September 6th.

Most of our teams are FULL.  However, we do have openings on U12 mixed.  If interested, please contact us immediately via email at ayso573@msn.com. 

If you have a child playing soccer with us this Fall08 season, then we need you!!!  We are in need of Kindergarten coaches. 

Parents, being a coach is the most fulfilling reward you could do for yourself and your child.  You'll have as much fun as they do.  No soccer experience is necessary.  We'll provide the training tools you'll need to get started.  At their age, it's about having fun and playing games.  There's not that much time commitment involved either.  Practices are 1 day a week usually 1/2 - 1 hour long, and you get to decide the day.  Games (35 min) are played on Saturday mornings.  If you are interested, please email us at AYSO573@msn.com.

 Become a coach, you'll be glad you did.

If you mailed in your registration form for our Fall 2008 season, that’s great and thank you!!!  Your registration is in process.   However, there are a few things you should know or might be wondering:

·        If you mailed your registration to the PO Box in Burlington, then we should have it or it’s coming.  We have faith in our US postal service.  With over 300 +/- registrations we receive each season, we have no easy and time efficient way to confirm receipt with each of you.

·        It is our practice not to process checks received from you until our season is set and finalized (teams formed).  So don’t panic if you sent it in May.  It won’t be processed until mid to late August.

·        You will not be hearing from us or your child’s coach until later in August, unless we have questions or concerns about your registration.

AYSO Outlanders is a Not-for-Profit organization.  We are all parent volunteers (unpaid) giving back to our community by providing quality soccer programs to you and your families.  All of our volunteers/board members currently have or had children playing soccer with Outlanders.

We are growing and need more help.  We are in need of volunteers in every area including board member positions.  Step up and take the challenge, you’ll be glad you did.  The reward is immeasurable, and never forgotten to those that look up to you.

If you are interested in volunteering or would like additional information on available board positions, please email us at ayso573@msn.com or via phone at 847-464-GOAL (4625).

Have a safe and fun-filled summer and we’ll see you on the soccer fields in early September.  Games begin September 6th.

With the end of the Spring 08 soccer season nearing a close, we now need to look towards our upcoming Fall 08 season -- Registration is currently underway now through July 16.  Don't wait and don't be late.  By the time school is back in session in mid-August, our soccer teams will have already been formed and most likely filled. 

We fill teams by post marked date on registration forms.  The last open spots on teams will be filled by the date in which their registrations are received.  So don't wait, or you might be too late. 

The Fall 2008 Registration Form can be found under the Forms Forms Forms folder.

Have a Safe and fun-filled summer.

The definition of Recreation is 1. Refreshment - the refreshment of the mind and body after work, especially by engaging in enjoyable activities, and 2. Amusement - an activity that a person takes part in for pleasure or relaxation rather than as work. 

Our soccer program is about having fun in a family-friendly environment where your kids learn to play the game of soccer, how to be a good teammate and show first-class sportsmanship, through the guidance of a Volunteer Parent Coach and Parent Helpers.  There are no tryouts, pre-selected teams, no player rankings, or team standings recorded.  There is no “star” player on a team, because in our eyes every child is a star, so they are all treated the same. Your child has an opportunity to play soccer with their friends, neighbors, and/or schoolmates.  Our program is not about winning, but rather it’s about having fun trying.

If this is the kind of soccer program you’re interested in, then we look forward to receiving your registration.  If you have the next Mia Hamm or David Beckham in the making, and are looking for something more than what our program offers, there are numerous club/travel soccer programs in the area that may better serve your needs. 

Starting in 2008, AYSO Outlanders Soccer is instituting a Late Fee charge of $10 per player for any Registration Form received/postmarked after the deadline date listed on the form.  The more registrations we receive on time, the better prepared we will be when determining the number of teams and interested coaches for those teams, as well as the placement of players.

The Spring soccer season is right around the corner.  So don't delay, get those forms in today!!

Are you missing a jacket?!?  Found 3 jackets near K / U08 fields @ St. Pete's from Saturday's 9/22/07 soccer game.  Please call 847-464-4610 to claim them.  If they go unclaimed, they'll be donated to charity.

Also found a black soccer jersey from Picture Night @ Prairie View.  Please call 847-464-4610 to claim it.

Please make sure you look around the fields before you leave.  And please be courteous and clean up & discard any empty water bottles and garbage that may have been forgotten or left behind.

Thank you
