Presidents Letter

Welcome to the 2008 spring Coastal Youth Soccer League Season. This is an exciting year as the MTOC moves from UMass, Amherst to the MYSA field complex, Citizens Bank Fields at Progin Park, Lancaster, MA. The field complex has 5 artificial fields and 11 grass fields. Information about the schedule and parking arrangements will be published later in the season.

CYSL playoff schedule is in the book. U12s will play at Forges Fields in Plymouth. U14s and older (if necessary) will play at Coppens Fields, Chandler St., Duxbury. Playoffs games are only rescheduled for school events that affect the whole team. Division 1 play during the week and Division 2 on weekends and occasionally weekdays. If you team may be in the playoffs, let your association know so the league can be notified. CYSL makes final decision on all rescheduling.

Please review the Zero Tolerance Policy. Make sure your players and parents understand this policy. The policy was created to create a positive atmosphere for players, coaches, referees and parents. At the younger ages but at all ages, the referees are learning along with the players and coaches. Training all three parts is what youth soccer does.

Take your team to a Revolution game. Steve Nicol does a great job coaching the team. Ball down the wing, centered to a player making a run into the penalty box. Parkhurst is a defensive player worth watching.

Enjoy the season and remember if all your players sign up for fall soccer, you did a great job.
