Welcome Letter

Hello!   Thank you all for accepting a spot onto the UFA U9 Girls Pool 1 Team for the 2018-2019 soccer year.  It is always nice to have tryouts behind us and now we can get to the good stuff.  This email is just to make sure everyone is on the same page before summer kicks into high gear.

  Signing Day:  June 4th is signing day for the U7-U13 age groups. Please look for an email from UFA ([email protected]), on signing day, that will give you instructions on how to get completely registered for the 2018-2019 soccer year and make payments. You will have 3 days to officially accept a position on the team, with payment, in the Blue Sombrero registration system. Please be sure you are somewhere with internet access on signing day.  

Uniforms:  This is the 1st year of a 2-year uniform cycle.  All players will need to complete a uniform order.  U9-U13 uniform fitting will be held at Pinecrest Academy on June 16th: girls 1:00-3:00pm and boys 3:30-5:30pm. U14-U19 uniform fitting will be held at Pinecrest Academy on June 23th: girls 1:00-3:00pm and boys 3:30-5:30pm.  ·      
Our team manager will distribute more information to you soon.   Team Camp:  Team Camp is the week of July 25th and will kick off our season.  There is a 5-day, mandatory camp for all players July 23rd through July 27th.  Times for each age group will be posted on the website early July. There will also be a parent/player team meeting that week.  At that time, we will go over the fall timeline, player expectations, parent expectations, and address any other questions and/or concerns.  ·      
Our Team Meeting will be held at Fowler Park, on Friday last day of camp, immediately following the training session.   Practices:  Practice times and locations will be confirmed in early July.  We will train three times a week at Fowler Park, from 5:00 to 6:30pm.    Academy is all about development:  This age is all about development and creating a strong foundation for the players.  As players develop and need new challenges, the staff will adjust their game day level as needed.  Because Academy-aged players develop at such different rates, it is important to understand that coaches will be moving players on a regular basis.  During the season, it is still possible for players to train with and participate in games with other pools/teams without having been officially moved from one pool/team to another. ·     

  PLEASE NOTE:  All player movement will be approved by the Academy Director and is solely based on the best interest of the individual player and his/her development. ·    All of this will be addressed at the team camp meeting, but know that the staff communicates constantly to ensure all players across the age group are at the best level for their development and love of the game.  Blue Sombrero (BS) Team Page:  Beginning on signing day, we will have access to our own team page in the Blue Sombrero system.  The team page will allow us to communicate from any device, share pictures/videos, house a team calendar and much more.  Please review the BS Team Page User Guide on our website under Parent’s Corner.

  Team Manager:  Please join me in thanking Amy Borrow for volunteering to be our team’s manager. She will assist in disseminating communications from the club and myself to you, the parents.  Please be sure to answer any questions and provide the necessary documentation that Amy requests in a timely manner – email  [email protected]  

Communication:  “UFA will only communicate player information to the person(s) listed as primary and/or secondary account holder.”  UFA is defined as: the club, you, the team manager and/or any person relaying information that is pertinent to a minor player.  That means any person not listed on your account will either need to be added to the account or you will need to notify the TM to add them to our team’s distribution list. If you need to add an additional individual to the team’s contact list, it is the duty of the primary account holder to notify the coach and team manager; and/or make the necessary changes to the account holder’s UFA (Blue Sombrero) account. Please let Amy and myself know if you would like to include any extended family members to the team’s distribution list.  ·      

In addition, you will need to add them to your BS account as a secondary account holder or you may use the primary’s additional email space.  (You may add more than 1 secondary account holder.  Note all secondary account holders will be invited to attach themselves to the account, meaning they will have access to see payment information and account details.)   That should be it for now.  Be expecting Amy to email further information soon.  If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.  My preferred contact method is by 678-852-8391 or email at [email protected]:   Looking forward to a great year with the players!   Asmir Kokorovic UFA 09G Pool 1 [email protected] 678-852-8391   Skills for Soccer.
