Team Practices
The team will have optional practices on Saturday
mornings, January 12 through February 2 at
Mayfield South (located at the corner of Page
Mill Rd. and El Camino Real). Regular, twice-a-week practices,
beginning Saturday, February 9 and continuing through May, will be held
Saturday mornings at Mayfield
South and Wednesday afternoons at Terman Park.
To play
competitively against CYSA
teams and
other AYSO Select teams, physical
conditioning must be higher than in the fall season. Players should
expect team practices
to be more rigorous than Fall season practices and
should expect some form of running to be a regular part of practices.
Select Team practices are
expected to take precedence over team members' other non-academic
activities. Except
for brief periods and exceptional circumstances agreed
upon ahead of time with the Head Coach, a player must be willing
and able to attend both
weekly practices on a
regular basis.
Spring League and Tournaments
The team will play in the Pacific Coast Spring Soccer League,
one
Sunday game per week, from March 2 through May 4, 2008. Games
postponed
due to weather or field conditions will be rescheduled, possibly to
Saturdays or to May 11. Roughly
half the games will be
played in Palo Alto and the remainder at other fields on the Peninsula
(South San Jose to Daly City).
The team will participate in at least two out-of-town, weekend tournaments. Some families may choose to stay overnight in Concord during the Concord Cup (May 17, 18) if the team has early morning games on Saturday or Sunday. The Davis World Cup (May 24-26) will require overnight stays in the Davis area over the Memorial Day weekend (2 to 3 nights, depending on morning game times). If feasible, the team will play in one additional tournament (likely to be the PHMSA Soccer Festival in the Concord/Pleasant Hill area, April 5 and 6, which is the weekend after the weekend that ends Spring Break). These tournaments feature top-flight competition in a fun, exciting environment. Most players and parents remember the tournaments as major highlights of the Select season.
CostParent Volunteers
Because spring teams are self-supporting, providing a
parent volunteer is a
significant factor in player selection. A parent from each team
member's family
will be
expected to perform some significant team support activity during the
season. Click here to read descriptions of the most
important volunteer positions.
Although each family will usually be asked to perform only one
volunteer
function, when filling out the Player/Parent Declaration, please
indicate all the
positions for which a
parent would be prepared to
volunteer. Indicate any previous experience if you have a strong
preference for a function that you have performed in the past.
