Hello Parents, Coaches and Volunteers,

The first week was a great success and we could not have had it with our your help.  Here is a note from our safety director.

Hello Everyone,

I would like to bring your attention to a growing problem with regards to the parking lot at Kaechele. Last week we almost had a very bad incident, a kid broke away from their parents grasp and ran into the parking lot between 2 cars that were dropping people off at the end of the driveway.  The little kid was almost hit by another car trying to get around the parked cars.   We have orange traffic cones up for this reason.  Please don’t drop off your kids at the end of the driveway.  Please help us to prevent any other incidents like this from happening again or worse outcomes.  We designed the schedules to have a half hour in between the games to allow you to park and take your kids safely to their games. This also helps to allow people to safely leave the fields and to come to the fields.  Thank you and if you ever have any questions please come and see me, I’m the one standing at the end of the driveway directing traffic.  

Alan Erickson
Trumbull AYSO Safety Director.

 

Thank you, Alan for that very important message. The one bit of advice also that needs to be said is do not park on the grass. The Trumbull police do come up and have given out tickets to those cars.  We dont want to see you going home upset because of a ticket.

Thank you and see you at the fields.  If you can help we will be there at 7:30 setting up again.

 Here is a great article from a former player and now coach.

http://www.socceramerica.com/article/46182/parents-should-hush-on-the-ride-home.html
"What is your worst memory from playing youth and high school sports?"

That was the question posed to college athletes in a survey by Proactive Coaching. The overwhelming response was: "The ride home from games with my parents."

Children, not surprisingly, don’t enjoy a critique of their performance when they settle into the backseat. Who, no matter what age, would?

Imagine a rough day at the office -- an office that resembles a typical youth soccer game. Your boss screams instructions while you work and lectures you before and after. Then you ride home with your parents. They’ve witnessed your mistakes. So they offer you advice.

No matter how well-intentioned, their advice will likely register as admonishment. And they’re denying your desire – your right -- to wind down and contemplate your feelings on your own terms.

If a parent actually did have some advice for a young player that might help the child, after the game -- when the kids are physically and emotionally spent – is certainly not the time.

In that same survey, the athletes were asked what words from their parents they remembered most fondly. The by far most common response was, "I love to watch you play."
