Hey All ~ What do you think of the following for the boot exchange at the Topper Soccer camps? I'm open to any refinements. The first TS camp is next week, so I'm hoping to blast this message out either on Sunday, or Monday.

Happy World Cup All!!!

The high school soccer program, in conjunction with the Los Alamos Youth Soccer League will be conducting a soccer cleat exchange at the Topper Soccer camps this summer. The intent is to give your children’s lightly used soccer cleats another chance at seeing the glory of the soccer field!

Please bring your used cleats, and feel free to exchange them with a pair of cleats we already have. And, if you have extra cleats that are just screaming to play on the Los Alamos fields again - we will gladly accept them! Just look for James Kuropatwinski, or another representative of the LAYSL Board, and they’ll be more than happy to help you out.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate on contacting James Kuropatwinski (lay...@gmail.com), and he’ll get back with you as soon as he can.

Looking forward to another exciting year of soccer!

Hi James,

This is a great idea! We have already had several of the kindergarten parents tell us they do not have cleats for their kids. I know that we have some cleats that our girls outgrew that we can donate, and I'm sure some of the other older players will have some extra cleats lying around as well.

Our camp runs at Sullivan 6/25-6/29 from 9 AM-12 noon. We can include an announcement in a message to all the parents registered for the camp, just let us know what it should say!

Thanks!

Jess

Hi James-

Good idea...

I'm cc'ing our coaches here for your query.

Good Evening Erika;

Stacey and Ron have graciously agreed to allow me to utilize Boys Topper Soccer camps to do a soccer boot exchange for the boys side of the house. 

Do you know if the girls program would be interested in allowing me to set up a table at girl Topper Soccer camps? The LAYSL Board is enthusiastic about getting a good set of boots readily tradable for the rec program.

James, I can send an email if you provide me the information about the exchange. I won't really be able to help man the exchange so maybe we can just do it the first three days - unless I can get another parent to help. Are you planning on doing it for WR as well?

Good Morning Stacey;

Have you put any thought into how best to get the message out about the boot exchange? I'm thinking an email message to the participants you register, an email message out to the LAYSL list, and a sign at the camp.

I will be more than happy to continually man to exchange on most days - though Shelly and I are leaving town for our 20th anniversary celebration for the 14th and 15th.

I think the box is a great idea. I have a little bit of a concern with the snacks. Especially with the younger group. There is always a handful of kiddos that are a challenge to keep engaged and I worry that if we have a table of snacks it might be a bit of a distraction. They might be more interested in snacks than the soccer ;-)

Those are just my thoughts. I am open to trying it if others want.

In all seriousness…I (we) can get a table set-up with lemonade/healthy snacks for a cheap price (as a scholarship fund for the LAFC program) and have a donation box next to the table for the cleats.

 

Coach Blue, if you need help with the kids during the two camps I would be more than happy to jump in with your direction. I am in town both weeks. Just let me know.

Actually, that’s a great idea too. A donations box to help the League’s scholarship fund!

Thatll be fine. Most parents won’t be thinking of shoes the first day any how. Perhaps wait until Wednesday or Thursday anyway to allow folks to bring in their shoes, and think about what they want to upgrade to.

I think that's a great idea. We might want to avoid the first days of camp - there is usually a lot of chaos getting shirts to campers and having parents check in.

Stacey, David;

I would like to see Topper Soccer as an opportunity for a Boot Exchange as well. It would be my pleasure to organize, and run it for the Topper Soccer camps, and work with the League's boot exchange program David has going for Club and Rec players.

Thoughts?

Good Morning,

 

With school coming to an end and finals just a week away, I wanted to send out a few reminders for the summer.

 

If you haven't already, please contact Stacey Castille (5castilles@gmail.com) and sign-up to help with Topper Soccer.  We need as many players as possible to help out and as I mentioned in the parent meeting, there is a significant benefit to each player that helps during try-outs.

 

There are 2 sessions Session I- June 11 - 15, 2018 from 3:30-6:00 at Urban Park and Session II- June 25-29 from 4:30-6:00 at Rover Park in WR.

 

Also, we are running our strength and conditioning program on Monday's and Wednesday's at the HS weight room starting at 5:30pm.  The sessions usually only run about an hour.  Please try and make it.

 

I will be sending out more information as the summer draws near.

 

Best of luck on finals and remember, try-outs are only a few months away,

 

Thanks,

 

Coach Blue
