2008 Fall Soccer Registration
is going on NOW!
Swansea-Somerset Youth Soccer League (SSYSL) is NOW accepting registrations for the Fall 2008 Recreation Season. Our Fall season is for the recreational player who is either just learning to play the game or has played it for a number of years. The program is set up in single, co-ed age groups starting at U5 (4yrs old on or before 7/31/08) and continuing until U14 (13yrs old on or before 7/31/08). The fall season starts the last Saturday in August and runs through the first Sunday in November with Labor Day & Columbus Day weekends off. Most age groups play games on Saturdays between 8:30am and 4:30pm, U13/14 currently plays on Sundays. The schedule rotates so teams do not play the same time every week. For the initial couple of weeks of the season, the teams will also play one game a week on a weeknight in order to allow the children to play one or two additional games while we still have daylight in the evening. All games are played at North Elementary School in Somerset. The teams will have practice once or twice a week in the evening, which is at the coach’s discretion.
Opportunities To Get Involved With SSYSL
SSYSL is a league that has succeeded for over 25 years due to
the parents who have volunteered their time to help make this league what it is
today. Year after year we consistently have around 1,000 children playing soccer
in the fall season and none of this can be done without the help of parents
stepping forward to volunteer their time to be coaches, board members, team Mom
& Dads, and referees. Soccer is a very easy sport to learn, teach and coach. We
offer coaching clinics to show new coaches and parents fun games and skills that
they can use with the children to teach them the game of soccer. You don’t have
to be an expert in soccer and it doesn’t matter if you never played the game as
a kid. All you need to do is be able to relate to kids and be organized. By
learning some simple games, the kids will learn the skills practically on their
own. You just need to guide and mentor them. If you are willing to volunteer
your time to this great game and league, please contact one of the age group
directors of the league since they would love to talk to you about how you can
help. Call the league at 508.673.6423 and let us know that you want to help and
someone will contact you.
Sponsorship Opportunities
Our league also has a team sponsorship program where local businesses can sponsor either a single team or multiples. SSYSL is a non-profit/charitable organization where your contributions are tax deductible. As a sponsor, we will place your business’s name on the front of a team’s game shirt and we place you’re the name on the back cover of our fall booklet with a Thank You to all of our sponsors. Last year we started a new program for our sponsors to allow them to get more for their support. It’s simple, the more teams your sponsor, we give your business additional teams for FREE. Here is how the program works: if you sponsor one team, we will place your business name on one team’s shirt. However, once you sponsor two teams or more, you get additional teams for FREE. If you are interested in our sponsorship program, please visit our website for more information. With the help of local businesses in our community, through Donations and Sponsorships, we are able to offer affordable registration fees to all our soccer families. Sponsors enable many young children of our community to enjoy the great game of soccer, and more importantly they learn sportsmanship and team values.

Soccer Snack Truck Serves Success
|
|
|
The League has completed the finishing touches on our new Snack Truck and it’s serving our players and parents extremely well. For many years the league has wanted to have a concession stand that would be operated by the league in order to help increase our revenue and by doing so, it would help to continue to keep our registration fees at a reasonable level. However, since we utilize Somerset town property, North Elementary School, we couldn’t easily put up a building and run our own stand. Thanks to some creative thinking by the members of our Board, we came up with the idea of a mobile stand by converting an old bread delivery truck into as Snack Truck. If you purchased something from the truck last year, you might have noticed that we completely converted the inside to make a great working snack stand with counter tops, shelving, an interior paint job and more. However, the outside needed work since it was dented here and there, the paint was a bit weathered and all the old bread truck labels could still be seen through the coat of paint that the dealer applied with a roller.
Well, since last winter we have had some very special help in making the outside of our Snack Truck look like NEW. This couldn’t have been completed without the very generous donations and help from:
Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School: Who completed all the body work repairs including the removal of the old bread labels.
MAACO of Fall River: For their tremendous donation and support by painting our Snack Truck.
LEA DEsigns: For their generous donation and hlp with truck graphic design.
Signs & Sites in Seekonk:For their fantastic donation and help with producing and applying the new graphics on the truck.
This Fall when you visit our Snack Truck, you will see what a creative group of Board Members and 4 terrific organizations can do to turn and old retired truck into a very identifiable and awesome snack stand for members of our league.
