As a follow-up to my other postings, here is the low-down on Region 71′s AYSO parade and the new season. Things were off to spectacular start. The boys and girls who were there were having fun and we had Dennis Zine, city councilman speaking. First, special kudos to Coach Jill for winning first prize (FINALLY!) for making our kickin’ banner. Here is a shot of it. The players decided on the team name, The Pesky Purple Pirates. It is a great name because it is the color of their jerseys and outfits:
Here is a photo of Coach Jill, her poster and her ribbon. As first prize winner, Jill won some duffel bags for all the team members. Jill is the coach of the VIP team. The VIP team is for children with special needs or learning disabilities who normally would be left out of team sports. AYSO encourages that everybody plays, regardless of your condition. Jill and Mike work tirelessly year round to support soccer for their kids as well as the VIP team. If you have any children who aren’t playing soccer and are unable to walk or move but are in wheelchairs or have helpers I invite you to please check out your local VIP leagues for AYSO soccer. Congrats again, Jill, you definitely earned the first place award for your original and creative artwork.
Here is Arianna with Councilman Dennis Zine. Dennis is a huge supporter of soccer and all community events here in the Valley. You can see from the background that we had a full house of players, their families and friends for the kick off event.
As Dennis and the other AYSO speakers said, the parents, brothers, sisters and family members are what make AYSO work so give yourselves a round of applause. The kids and their families shlep out to the fields and play every week in the outdoors and practice during the week. It is a great and inexpensive family activity. You will meet a lot of new people as well. It is still relatively early so look for a local AYSO group near you and start hitting some goals!
When I have some time I will try and upload the parade of the different teams and their banners. That is always a lot of fun. Have a great weekend people and my next post has an interesting question about getting financial advice from a fake seance of all things! I will talk about avoiding those scams in my next entry.
