1 The Far Post Bonneville Youth Soccer League June 2012 President s Message Bonneville Youth Soccer League (BYSL) BYSL Director s Of Coaching Message Greetings: Time flies when you're having fun & I hope you were all having fun this past Snake River League season. I know I was. It's always a good time when the weather co-operates. Rotten wind, but far less snow and mud than last spring. BYSL had 35 teams from U-12 to U-18 this spring. For me that is great to know we have so many kids wanting to play soccer. To the coaches, managers, parents and officials that help to make it all happen. Thank you!!! There's a lot of information in this edition of the Far Post. Registration deadlines, start dates, and more concerning the fall season. If, however, you do not find something you need don't hesitate to contact a program Director or myself. Our website will also have most of the needed information you will need. I do have a new . pigsrus21@gmail.com I hope you all have a great summer. See ya next season. FACEBOOK: To receive highlite s on Facebook; look for Bonneville Youth Soccer League and click on Like. Dean Cook, BYSL President pigsrus21@gmail.com Greetings everyone, State Cup & Memorial weekend are over now so the Spring season is winding down, and we re all waiting for summer weather to begin. Our numbers were down this year for BYSL teams participating in State Cup but we were represented well by BSC U15B and EFC U16B who both walked away with 3 rd places respectively. Well done! Some teams are still training and attending summer tournaments abroad but it is important that all of our players stay active and continue to touch the ball in the off season as the Fall HS / JH / U12 / YDP season will be upon us sooner than you think. Summer camps and Open Play/Pick-up games are a great way to achieve that. Here locally, we have the ISU/OSC Mini Camp and there are also numerous other summer camps close to our area (ISU, BSU, BYU, & others in Utah) if you or your player is willing to travel. There are several venues w/open play around the city and summer city leagues for the older players as well. Watching high level matches are very beneficial to our players; either travelling to Utah to see SL Real (the US Women vs. Canada is coming up next week down in Utah!) or watching soccer matches on TV or the internet. I encourage all of our coaches who currently hold the USSF E license to attend the upcoming USSF D Course in November, & continue with their coaching education. The entire USSF coaching education curriculum has been re-written and things have changed since many of us have taken the two courses. The State has announced that HS Try-outs/training will start on Monday, August 6 th and the JH Tryouts will begin 3 days (Thu) after that (see your individual schools for times & venues), and the YDP & U12 programs information are listed later in this newsletter as well. Good luck everyone! And I hope you all have a great summer, and I ll see you out on the pitch!

6 NEW to the BYSL U12 Program???: Here are a few. Frequently Asked Questions -- U12 Program (Q&A) U11 & U12 Teams: Beginning the Fall of 2012, BYSL s goal is to have single age teams at both U11 & U12 (if numbers allow). These teams are gender specific. The seasonal year runs from August 1 through July 31. In the fall; when teams are selected, (after the jamboree) the team will stay together for both the fall and spring season. (Note: If a player is interested in changing teams in the spring, then your child would need to attend the jamboree in the spring.) Due to attrition, new players may be picked up from the spring jamboree to fill the roster.

8 BYSL Coaches Corner Upcoming USSF D Licensing Course Taught by: Steve Adlard, IYSA DOC: The USSF E & D license clinics are IYSA District II sponsored events. IYSA District II runs from Marsh Valley to Teton. BYSL and GCYSL co-sponsors these events; and shares the cost of hosting these training sessions. The USSF D course will be offered one weekend in Pocatello and one weekend in Idaho Falls. The dates will be November 1-3 and November 8-10 (this is a 36 hr course and you MUST attend all six days to complete your training and receive your coaching license). FYI: There will be two practical exams, a written exam, an oral exam, a referee exam, and a final field exam. (Specific details are still being worked out and will be posted once times and locations are finalized.) The USSF E course gives you an overall concept of coaching soccer. The USSF D course builds upon the concepts of the E course and gives you practical training experience for coaching kids. (Once you have received your USSF E license, you are strongly encouraged to get your USSF D license. Both of these training courses are excellent and coaches will be better prepared to help their players by attending (and when possible) participating in these courses.) Additional details forthcoming. BYSL COACHING REQUIREMENTS: Coaches MUST have a soccer coaching license to coach in BYSL. (New coaches have a one year grace period to receive their coaching license.)

I will not let my teammates down, and I will not let myself down. True champions aren t always the ones that win, but those with the most guts. A winner is that person who gets up one more time than she is knocked down. Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it
