Spring 2010 Calendar of Events (REVISED)
ERROR ON MID SEASON BREAK, NEW WEEK IS APRIL 5th – 9th)
Last week I sent out a brief overview of the calendar for the spring but made one error on our mid- season break. The week that the club will be closed for practices and games will be the week beginning April 5th (spring break for most schools) please make sure you adjust your calendar accordingly.
  
Winter Training Camp - SIGN UP NOW!
CSA IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGING PLAYERS TO ATTEND (REMINDER)
This is another reminder for our off-season training program that begins after Thanksgiving. We have set up a curriculum through the program where each player will be working hard during the break on the technical side of the game. These session will be designed to keep our players fit incorporating various pressure training session to enhance their skills and allow them to start the spring ahead of their competition. Registration is now online www.charlottesocceracademy.com
 
CSA Border Cup Postponed for 2009
Please get with DOC on alternative tournament.
The Border Cup Scheduled for December 5th – 6th has been postponed until 2010. Teams planning on attending this end of season tournament will need to get with their DOC to look at alternative events to attend through the end of the season or during preseason in January and February.
 
Player/Coach/DOC End-of-Season Evaluations
Once teams have finished up their regular season play and their last tournament (if they are attending a final event) they will be finished for the fall season. Your coaches will be getting with you to set up individual meetings with each player to go over their season evaluation. I will also be sending out a coach/DOC evaluation where we each family is asked to evaluate our staff this season. We want to continue to improve our program and want to hear from you as to your experience with our staff this year. More details on the evaluation process will follow in the coming weeks.
 
Accounts Receivable (conclude payments for the fall to be in good standing with the club)
For those of you who have not communicated with Ken on your fall dues please make sure you connect with the office to be in good standing on your payments. We need to make sure all payments are up to date by Thanksgiving to avoid late charges and suspensions for spring play.
Please call Ken at the office or email admin@charlottesocceracademy.com  
 
Communication. The key to a successful club. ALWAYS ON UPDATES.
This will be on all my updates. Good communication is the key to a successful club. All families in the club should have the accessibility to communicate with your team coach and DOC throughout the season. Our coaches are reminded to have periodic meetings through the season to keep families up to date on the progression of the team. Email addresses for me and the DOC’s are on the website if you need to communicate with us. If you need to talk in person, we are in the office each day and if you do not reach us directly, we will return a call in a timely fashion to address any questions or concerns. We have a fantastic full time staff here at CSA and some great team coaches. If you have any issues with your team, club, etc please do not allow a problem to persist. Communicate with the staff so we can deal with it and move on in a positive way.  
 
Thanks
Have a great week
