2009 Soccer Season Tigers

Great practice tonight! I am very excited to start the season with the Tigers (our new team name). I do not have our game schedule yet, but once I do I will send it out ASAP.

We still need your help with a few things for this season. If you have not signed up for something please look through the list below and see if there is something that you can do.

1. Be responsible to bring the banner to and from games, including set up of the banner.
2. Donuts and drinks for opening day parade.


A reminder that August 29th is going to be a fun filled day. That morning we will have the parade down Grant Ave., pictures at Indian Valley College (IVC), and of course our first game. In addition, there will be a Fun Fest at IVC for U6, however U7 and U8 players are welcome to partake. Details are listed at the end of this email.

Please note that there will be no practice September 3rd as it is Pleasant Valley’s Open House.

Lastly, thank you to the following parents for helping out.

* Leslie for updating our Banner
* Jeanne for bringing truck decorations for the parade.
* Carol for being our snack coordinator
* Mo for doing publicity
* Gretchen for organizing the end of season party
* Jeana for the Truck for the parade

See you again this Thursday at 6pm.
