THERE'S MORE TO COME SO STAY TUNED

THERE'S MORE TO COME SO STAY TUNED

          PLEASE TAKE SOME TIME TO EXPLORE ALL THAT IS AVAILABLE ON THIS WEB SITE. REMEMBER: THIS SIGHT AND "DESTINY UPDATES" VIA E-MAIL WILL BE YOUR MAIN SOURCE FOR INFORMATION, NEWS, AND UPDATES FOR AND ABOUT THE TEAM.   I TRY NOT TO DO PAPER HAND OUTS.
          NOTE: I HAVE "LOCKED" CERTAIN AREAS OF THE SITE TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN ORDER TO KEEP PERSONAL INFORMATION PRIVATE.   IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE SITE YOU WILL NEED TO SET UP AN ETEAMZ ACCOUNT USERNAME AND PASSWORD IN ORDER TO ACCESS THESE LOCKED AREAS. IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS IN DOING THIS PLEASE CONTACT ME.   MOST OFTEN I HAVE TO GIVE YOU ACCESS ONCE YOU REQUEST IT.

          CLICK ON ANY MENU ITEM ON THE LEFT TO ACCESS A DIFFERENT PAGE, THEN EXPERIMENT BY MOVING THE MOUSE OVER DIFFERENT AREAS, HEADLINES, OR ICONS TO SEE IF THEY ACCESS OTHER LINKS, PAGES AND PARTS OF THE SITE, AS WELL AS OTHER WEB SITES.

          JULY 2008:    I HAVE ADDED MANY NEW LINKS TO SOCCER RELATED WEB SITES AND YOUTUBE VIDEOS TO THE "LINKS" PAGE AND WILL CONTINUE TO ADD NEW ONES AS I BECOME AWARE OF THEM SO CHECK BACK OFTEN.

          FIRST A "DRAFT" VERSION OF OUR GAME SCHEDULE WILL BE POSTED ON THE PLAY THROUGH LEAGUE WEB SITE, WHICH I WILL ALSO POST ON THIS SITE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE TIMES AND LOCATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE GAME DATES UNTIL THE "DRAFT" CHANGES TO THE "FINAL" SCHEDULE.   WHEN THE "FINAL" SCHEDULE IS POSTED THE LEAGUE FIELD SCHEDULERS WILL BEGIN TO ASSIGN TIMES, LOCATIONS, AND REFS. WHEN OUR LEAGUE HAS COMPLETED THE SCHEDULE, THEY WILL LET EACH TEAM KNOW THEIR SCHEDULE IS POSTED ON THE DE ANZA LEAGUE WEB SITE. I WILL THEN UPDATE THIS SITE AND SEND THE UPDATED INFORMATION TO THE TEAM VIA "DESTINY UPDATE" E-MAIL.

          MOST OF THE DE ANZA LEAGUE STARTING KICKOFF GAME TIMES ARE; 10:00AM(1st GAME OF THE DAY), NOON, 2:00PM, AND 4:00PM (LAST GAME OF THE DAY)

          I KNOW EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW THE SCHEDULE WITH TIMES AND LOCATIONS SO YOU CAN MAKE PLANS, BUT AS ALWAYS WE NEED TO BE PATIENT AND TOLERANT.   SOME LEAGUES ARE VERY FAST ABOUT SETTING UP GAME TIMES AND LOCATIONS FOR THEIR TEAMS HOME GAMES AND OTHERS (INCLUDING THEIR COACHES) ARE VERY SLOW.   I WILL DO MY BEST TO STAY ON TOP OF THIS TILL WE GET A COMPLETE SCHEDULE.   YOU WILL ALL BE INFORMED OF OUR GAME DATES, TIMES, AND LOCATIONS, AS WELL AS ANY CHANGES, VIA E-MAIL "DESTINY UPDATES" AND BEING POSTED HERE ON THIS WEB SITE.
   
          NOTE:   THE DE ANZA LEAGUE HAS NO FIELD PERMITS FOR SUNDAY PLAY IN CUPERTINO, SO THEY ASK THAT WE RESCHEDULE SUNDAY GAMES WHENEVER POSSIBLE.   IF NO RESCHEDULE DATE AND TIME CAN BE AGREED ON BY BOTH TEAMS, THE DE ANZA LEAGUE "RENTS" AVAILABLE NON-CUPERTINO FIELDS, EL QUITO PARK IN SARATOGA, DE ANZA COLLEGES TURF FIELD, PROSPECT HIGH TURF FIELD, SARATOGA HIGH TURF FIELD, AND WEST VALLEY COLLEGE GRASS FIELD (WHEN AND IF THEY ARE AVAILABLE) FOR SUNDAY PLAY ONLY.   THE RENTING OF FIELDS FOR SUNDAY PLAY IS ONE OF THE REASONS DE ANZA LEAGUE FEES ARE HIGHER THAN SOME OTHER LEAGUES.

          FOR ALL OUR HOME GAMES,      IF WE HAVE THE FIRST GAME OF THE DAY ON THE FIELD (10:00am) WE (THE TEAM, PLAYERS AND PARENTS) NEED TO SET UP AND SECURE THE GOALS, THIS MEANS WE WILL NEED HELP FROM SEVERAL PARENTS.    IF WE HAVE THE LAST GAME (4:00pm) WE NEED TO REMOVE THE GOALS FROM THE FIELD AND SEE THAT THEY ARE LOCKED IN THEIR LOCATION.   ALSO, IF THERE IS NO TEAM GETTING READY TO PLAY AFTER OUR GAME IS OVER (NO MATTER WHAT TIME OUR GAME ENDS), WE NEED TO REMOVE THE GOALS FROM THE FIELD AND LOCK THEM UP.   
          AS THE HOME TEAM, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE TO SECURE THE GOALS TO THE GROUND WITH STAKES (AND IF NEEDED THE NETS TO THE GOALS), AS WELL AS PLACE THE CORNER FLAGS AROUND THE FIELD.   ALL DE ANZA LEAGUE TEAMS HAVE THEIR OWN CORNER FLAGS AND GOAL STAKES.   I BRING THE STAKES AND CORNER FLAGS TO OUR HOME GAMES.   AT THE END OF EACH GAME, ALL THIS EQUIPMENT NEEDS TO BE GATHERED BACK UP AND RETURNED TO ME.   AS THE HOME TEAM WE ARE ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GENERAL CONDITION OF OUR FIELDS.   THIS MEANS WE ALL NEED TO MAKE SURE THE FIELD IS CLEANED UP OF TRASH, TAPE, WATER BOTTLES, ETC. BEFORE WE LEAVE.   PLEASE HELP OUT AFTER ALL OUR GAMES.
