NKYA August Session Begins!

Well here we are in the first week of practice with barely ten days until opening game day and the weather is perfect...if you're a farmer. Hopefully U6 practice will not be rained out and I'm also planning to schedule a U10 practice for this Saturday the 1st. (I'll be calling)
All of the rosters and schedules to the right are up to date and I'll add in the snack dates as we work that out at practice.
Just for reference the practice times are:

U4 and U6 Thursdays at 6:30

U10 Wednesdays at 6:30

Weather permitting we'll practice throughout the season.

August Session. U10 plays Offside

The August outdoor session will be starting soon and I'll be contacting everyone about practice times when I have a schedule. The U10 division will be playing with the Offside rule in force and getting the kids familiar with that will be one of the big challenges for this session. I've embedded a power point explanation of the rule that I found on YouTube. It's fairly straightforward so take a moment to watch it and if possible have your player watch it too. And the MLS season is in full swing with 2 or 3 games a week on ESPN. Try to get your player to watch a bit of these games. That also might help them understand the offsides rule.
