Here are the Benefits of SAY 

Just FYI

Display case keys should go to coaches’ coordinator, one for the parent representative, and one for the master set of keys.

Just FYI

(Formula -11 players on the field times 4 quarters equals 44. Divide by the number of players for that team, lets say 15 which is 2.9 possible quarters per child - pretty close. This does NOT change the requirement to play a minimum of 1/2 of the game.

The underlined number would be the most ideal team size with the second number still being OK.

· Five Year Olds (6 players on the field) maximum players on the team = 8 to 9 players (range 3 to 2.6 quarters per child)

· Six/Seven Year Olds (9 players on the field) maximum players on the team = 12 to 13 players (range 3 to 2.7 quarters per child)

· Eight/Nine Year Olds (10 players on the field) maximum players on the team = 14 to 15 players (range 2.8 to 2.6 quarters per child)

· Ten/Eleven Year Olds (11 players on the field) maximum players on the team = 15 to 16 players (range 2.9 to 2.75 quarters per child)

· Twelve/Fourteen Year Olds (11 players on the field) maximum players on the team = 15 to 16 players (range 2.9 to 2.75 quarters per child)

We buy the max jerseys to fit these numbers and when teams are full we stop taking new sign-ups or keep a waiting list. Certainly the actual number of players signed up may force us to do something different but we should not go over the second number if possible.

The practice capacity that we have to consider with each age group.
12-14 max teams – 10 *
10-11 max teams – 10 * with 9 fields [as in 2007 field arrangement], max of 30 teams between both age groups for allowing two 1 hour practices per week. 
8-9 max teams – 20
6-7 max teams – 20
5s max teams – 20

Just FYI

Seek bids/quotes for pictures. Pictures—All coaches (up to 3 per team) will receive a free 8x10 with their child. We will still receive sponsor and coaches plaques. Photo delivery will be by ? and plaque delivery by ?

The Dynamo Constitution mandates how children are assigned to teams.  This document details the steps used to assign children to teams in 2009.  The board decided to formalize this process for 2010.

1.      Coaching chair assigns coaches to teams, with input from the sponsor chair and registration chair where necessary.

2.      Sponsor chair assigns sponsors to teams, with input from the coaching chair and registration chair where necessary.

3.      Registration chair, sponsor chair and coaching chair validate that each child of a coach or sponsor is appropriately assigned to the correct team.

4.      Registration chair assigns each coach, sponsor and child to each team in League Works.

5.      Registration chair exports current team data to use at draft.  This data includes:

a.      The child’s gender

b.      The child’s age

c.       If the child played travel soccer as noted on the registration form

d.      Years of experience

e.      Any “play with” request or mandate – requests may be met, mandates such as siblings must be met

6.      Registration chair exports a list of non-assigned players to use at draft.  This data includes:

a.      The child’s gender

b.      The child’s age

c.       If the child played travel soccer as noted on the registration form

d.      Years of experience

e.      Any “play with” request or mandate – requests may be met, mandates such as siblings must be met.

7.      At the draft meeting, remaining children are assigned to teams as follows:

a.      All travel players on each team are counted along with their gender and age

b.      All non-assigned travel players are assigned to teams based on gender, age and experience, in an attempt to balance the number of each travel player gender.  For example, if there are ten teams, five teams having one pre-assigned 9-year old male travel player, and five teams without any travel players, we would first assign 9-year old male travel players to the teams without one until each team had one, or we ran out of 9-year old male travel players to assign.  We would then do the same thing for 9-year old female, 8-year old male, and 8-year old females.  If necessary, younger children playing up would come next.  In each case we would attempt to consider experience in addition to the other factors.

c.       All players on each team will then be recounted by age and gender

d.      We then assign children based on “play with” requests. 

                                                              i.      Players who desire to play with someone who we have already assigned to a team are assigned first

                                                            ii.      Players who desire to play with someone who has not been assigned are assigned next

                                                          iii.      Age, gender and experience are considered when assigning pairs

e.      Starting with the oldest male in the age group (by age, not birthday), we then assign one player to each team randomly in an effort to balance that age, gender and experience.  For example, assume there are 10 teams, and most teams have two 9-year old males, some have only one 9-year old male, and some have none.  We would then assign 9-year old males to the teams with none until each had one.  We would then assign them to teams with only one 9-year old male until every team has two.  At that point, we would count how many remain, determine how many each team should have, and then assign the remaining 9-year old males based on that quantity.  At each step we would attempt to consider experience in deciding which 9-year old to assign.

f.        Next we assign the oldest females using the same logic as in 7e.

g.      Next we assign the next oldest group of males using the same logic as in 7e.

h.      Next we assign the next oldest group of females using the same logic as in 7e.

i.        If necessary, younger children playing up would be assigned next, attempting to balance gender and age as necessary and possible.  Children playing up in an age group typically number very few and cannot be assigned perfectly equitable.

Update board notebooks for upcoming season.

The idea for the sponsor and coach verification meeting is to ensure sponsors get the coach they ask for [within the limits of the rules] and coaches get the partner they ask for [again within the limits of the rules] and that the correct children are with them. It is not intended to place every coach on every team.  By phone or by e-mail notify coaches of the age division they will coach and confirm their commitment.

Coaches Coordinator, Registration. Sponsors

Notify all coaches of coaches meeting, and or clinic date as applicable, plan for roster distribution, and practice sign-ups.

Ensure SAY gets the info for number of teams in the League early enough so that we get the coaches packet material prior to coaches clinic. Work with Treasurer on this.

Chairman Responsible

Pre-Draft - The policy limits two adults pre-assigned to a team if they bring children to that team regardless of if they are the coach, assistant coach or team sponsor. In essence a limit of two families pre-assigned to a team no matter how the combination is reached. In addition, there will be a limit of 4 players pre-selected per team. Sponsors may be pre-selected as long as they do not break the spirit of the rule described above. The Draft Chairman may also consider carpool or special same-team requests only if the players involved are part of the random draft and do not provide an obvious advantage or disadvantage to any particular team. Requests to consider variations of the Pre-Draft policy will be heard by a committee of the Draft Chairman, Coaches Coordinator and the President or his/her designee and will be agreed upon by a 2/3s committee vote

Coaches assigned to a team must have their children on team

Sponsors assigned to a team must have their children on team

Number of travel players and Old Mill players per team should be equivalent

In 5's, teams must all contain the same number of boys and girls

In 5's, all 4-year olds should be spread equally among each team

In all other age groups, each team must have equal number of each gender in each age.  ie..  in 6-7, each team should have the same number of male 7-year olds, the same number of female 7-year olds, the same for 6-year olds.

In all other age groups, play up requests should be spread equally among each team

Play with requests can be met, but should be randomly assigned to teams. Typically any child who turns the age of the age group before October 1 is automatically approved to play up.  Any request beyond that should be brought up for board approval.

Assign only two coaches per team, all other coaching assignments will be a part of the random draft.

Coaches clinic and or coaches meeting  at least 2 weeks before first practice at fields. Coaches will receive equipment, rosters, medical information?, SAY Injury Report Form and Code of Conduct forms to be distributed to players. Coaches will sign up for practice times after attending the clinic. Be sure at this time all coaches have volunteer form on file.  At coaches meeting or draft also explain Silent Saturday and Old Mill process. Remember coaches signing up for Friday night will probably lose 1 Friday evening practice to the Olivet clinic, usually about the 3rd or 4th week in the season. If date is known, include this info on practice sign up sheet

Dear Friendship Festival Chair,
I was not sure who to contact about the fireworks so I thought I would go straight to the chairperson of the Friendship Festival. I am representing Dynamo Soccer. Last year we had problems with the aftermath of the fireworks at the Dynamo Soccer fields. If the wind is blowing in the wrong direction the soccer fields end up littered with hundreds and hundreds of pieces of hard cardboard shrapnel. In recent years it has been cleaned up well.

We would also ask that the fireworks company enter the field area at the very end of the main parking lot and stay on the perimeter of the fields when driving heavy vehicles. We have installed a new underground sprinkler system and the heavy vehicles could damage the sprinkler heads if they get run over. They will also need to move parking barriers (railroad ties) to access the fields, could you please ask them to return the parking barriers to their original position when they are finished?

As fellow volunteers the Dynamo Soccer Board understands and greatly appreciates the hundreds of hours it takes to run a successful event like the Friendship Festival. We thank you in advance for any help you can give us in the matter above.
Thanks,

Fields
