U9 Academy - Information and Practice Session Saturday, February 11, 4-5:30pm at the BPS Gym (not Boat Docks)
We believe there may be enough interest in starting an MCYSA U9 Academy program. Matt Pollock has volunteered to lead this effort. The purpose is to give players who desire a higher level of competition an opportunity to play and train against other players of that level and who are also thinking about playing select (competitive) soccer in the future. You can participate in the U9 academy program and play on a recreational team. As this is our first attempt at this, the MCYSA U9 Academy will schedule only 3 Saturday play dates this season. We will field up to 2 teams this season - depending on the level of interest. Players born between 1 Aug 2002 and 31 Jul 2003 are eligible.
An informational meeting and practice session will be held on Saturday, February 11, 4-5:30 pm at the BPS Gym (this is an update - the 'good weather' plan was the Boat Docks). Additional information can be found here.
Spring Registration at the Food Court
You can also register your player(s) for the Spring 2012 season at the KFC/Taco Bell Food Court along the Brandenburg Bypass on the following dates and times:
- Saturday, February 18, 10 am - 2 pm
Season Schedule
The MCYSA Spring 2012 season begins with the Coaches' Meeting on Sunday, 26 February. Players will be contacted shortly after that meeting and practices begin. Games start on Saturday, 17 March. We hope to have the last games played on Thursday, 24 May. If needed, make-up games may be scheduled from Tuesday, 29 May, to Sunday, 3 June (same period of time as the MCS Make Up Day plan).

US Youth Soccer - Youth Module Coaches' Clinic
We strongly encourage volunteers who are volunteering to coach or assistant coach to attend the US Youth Soccer Youth Module at the Brandenburg Primary School on Saturday, 18 February, from 9 am to 2 pm. The clinic consists of both classroom and hands on activities. This is a no cost training event for MCYSA volunteers. If you haven't volunteered to coach, but are thinking about it or would like to know more about coaching, we encourage you to attend this course. You can register here. Please contact Matt Pollock if you have any questions.
Challenger Sports Soccer Camp
The MCYSA will be hosting the Challenger Sports Soccer Camp, Monday - Friday, 9-13 July. An optional Goal Keeper clinic will be held for those who participated during the week on Saturday, 14 July, for a small additional fee. Register by 22 May and receive a free 2012 British Soccer Jersey. You can register online here. Brochures will be available from coaches and during registration at the Food Court.
