Marlborough Soccer Club: Parent Resource Library
|
The Marlborough Soccer Club is made up of parents and we know some of the problems and concerns that parents have. We have set up this web page just for you. The Club is made up of volunteers and we need help. Click here to see areas where we need your help. We have an important letter for all Soccer Moms and Dads. It goes over some of the responsibilities that we parents have. Some parents will share our concern for the privacy and safety of our children when it comes to the Internet. For this reason we will not post any player's names or phone numbers. On the other hand, team photographs are fun and secure way to get involved with our web site. We can accept scanned pictures of team photos as long as they are accompanied by the season, division, team and coaches names. If you need help with scanning, you could ask another parent or send an email here. Send all pictures and suggestions to layotte@snet.net How the NEW website can be of Help to Parents The Marlborough Soccer Club's NEW website is being constructed to help players, coaches, team managers and especially PARENTS simplify the complexity that youth socccer activities bring to their already busy lives. The website is still under construction and it could be a full year before all of the capabilities of the website can be fully tapped to assist in simplifying our lives. Some of the capabilities , however, are already being brought on-line. As they become available information will be posted here on how to access those benefits.
Checking Your Team's Schedule! Players and/or parents can check their team's schedule of both games and practices (and other events) at any time by clicking on "Team" on the top menu; then "selecting" the appropriate "league" or division; and then the appropriate "team". Each team (in-house or travel) now has its own "team page" where coaches' and manager's contact information is posted and where information "Bulletins" can be posted concerning team activities. Once having reached your team's "team page" on the website the team's schedule can be accessed by clicking on "Schedule" from the left-hand menu. The team's schedule can then be "printed" as desired.
Finding Directions to an AWAY Game! To get directions to an AWAY game in another town go to the team's "page"; click on "Schedule" from the left-hand menu and then on the town/field where the away game is scheduled to be played. Directions, which may be printed, should then be available.

USYouthSoccer.org hosts Online Tool for Soccer Parents
RICHARDSON, Texas (October 3, 2005) US Youth Soccer has announced the launch of an interactive online tool to assist parents as they support their youth athlete. Designed for parents in the game of soccer to aid their efforts in growing the spirit without limiting the child, The Parents Guide An Introduction to Youth Soccer is an online self-exploratory exercise in enhancing the experiences of players and their families.
The Parents Guide is an overview of best practices and philosophy, answering questions ranging from 'How to be supportive soccer parents' and 'How to meet your childs needs' to The ride home as well as Dealing with your childs coach.
In addition to the online presentation, the US Youth Soccer Coaching Education Department and Coaching Committee has created a short quiz to further the educational aspect of the guide. After successful completion of the course parents can personalize the certificate of completion with their name.
We are proud to offer this educational opportunity to our parents and look forward to additional tools to further our game through the generations of soccer families ahead, said David Messersmith, president of US Youth Soccer.
