While many families are enjoying the summer off from soccer, board members and volunteers have been busy over the past few months preparing for the upcoming Fall recreational season. With over 600 players registered, an enormous amount of time and effort goes into the planning and running of this program. Here are some updates:
- Late registrations are still being accepted. Go to the NYS website and click on Fall Recreational for more details.
- Teams are currently being formed and should be posted by mid August.
- Practices are slated to begin the first week of September with Opening Day planned for Saturday, September 11th.
- A referee clinic will be held for anyone interested in refereeing Fall Rec games. This clinic is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, September 9, 7:00 - 9:00 PM, Yelle Cafeteria. You must be in 7th grade or higher to qualify.
- As a reminder, players WILL NOT be permitted to play with earrings. Note that this was clearly stated during player registration.
If you have any questions about our Fall program or would like to help in any way, you can email fa ... @nortonyouthsoccer.org
After many years in the making, NYS plans on opening our newly renovated fields this Fall (Saturday games only). NYS would like to thank all those who have contributed financially and through hard work and dedication. While NYS is closing in on an important milestone in restoring these fields, you will see that many more fields are in desperate need. NYS is always reluctant to raise fees so one way to raise the necessary funds is through fundraising activities. Currently, NYS is partnering with the New England Revolution where NYS will receive a portion of the sale of every season ticket, Four Game package, single game ticket, or Birthday Blast when ordered from the NYS website. Click on the Revs logo on the NYS website to order.
NYS competitive travel teams continue to excel at the highest levels despite being one of the smaller towns population-wise in the area and in the South Coast conference. NYS teams recently wrapped up yet another successful Spring competitive season. Congratulations to the following South Coast Soccer League Champions:
- U12 Boys Division 1 (Chris Cappellini)
- U12 Girls Division 1 (Dave Sharpe)
- U11 Girls Division 1 (Tony Fong)
These champions advanced to the Massachusetts Tournament of Champions which took place in Lancaster MA from June 25 – 27. The U12 Boys advanced to the state championship title game with a 3-0-1 record. Unfortunately, the team fell short losing in the finals 2-0 to Beverly. The U11 girls went undefeated with one win and two ties, narrowly missing the playoffs. The U12 girls were stingy in its defense, but just could not muster enough offense in a very tough bracket. A number of other NYS teams went deep into their South Coast playoffs. For more details, go to the News section at the NYS website.
Finally, there are still a few openings in the U5 Striker Soccer Program that will also run in September. A brochure is available on the NYS website. Click on U5 Strikers Fall Program.

Late registrations are currently being accepted for the Fall Recreational season. Norton’s Fall Recreational season is run entirely by volunteers. The season normally runs nine consecutive weekends, starting in early September and ending in early November. Players practice once a week with games on Saturdays at the Norton Middle School. Your child will experience the fun of playing on a team, friendly competition, and will receive a uniform and a ball.
NYS uses an online registration system for Fall Recreational signups. There are no walk-in signups. The registration link is now available on the Fall Recreational page of the NYS website. Additional program information can be found on that webpage.
Norton boys and girls born 8/1/1995 through 7/31/2005 are eligible. Registration cost per player will remain the same as last season ($85 per player). A $20 volunteer fee will also be added during the registration process. This fee is per family and will be refunded at the end of the season on completion of volunteer service. A $15.00 nonrefundable late fee will be imposed for each late registration accepted after the May 24th deadline.
Contact the NYS Registrar at registrar@nortonyouthsoccer.org with any questions about player/volunteer signups.

While NYS has reached an important milestone in restoring several fields (with a target re-opening of some of these fields for the NYS summer camp and Fall Recreational season), many more fields are in desperate need. NYS is always reluctant to raise fees so one way to raise the necessary funds is through fundraising activities.
NYS is partnering with the New England Revolution where NYS will receive a portion of the sale of every season ticket, Four Game package, single game ticket, or Birthday Blast when ordered from the NYS website. Click on the Revs ticket ad on the right to order.
Please help support the Field Restoration project through this and other fundraisers. Click here for more info on the Field Restoration project. Thank you for your support.

 On February 17, 2010 the Norton United U14 Girls team were victorious against Walpole on Penalty Kicks in the championship game to win the February Vacation Tournament at Forekicks in Norfolk. The girls played an outstanding first game tying Lincoln, RI. 0 - 0. In their second game the girls defeated the NCS Stars 2 - 0 and then won their semi-final game against the Treehuggers 1 – 0. The girls were lead by brilliant goal tending by Christine Tamulis. Kaleigh Schleicher, Alexa Dosreis, Rachel MacDermott and Kaitlin Murrin played great defense. The offense was lead by Sarah Goldberg, Kelsey Sousa, Colleen Almeida Micayla Valeri and Ashley Cibotti. The team was coached by Howard Goldberg and Bob Almeida. Congratulations girls!

From the Sun Chronicle
Holliston 2, Norton 1
HOLLISTON - Seven minutes into the first "sudden victory" period, the Panthers of Holliston put a ball past Norton goalie Audrey Maia, ending the Lancers' brilliant postseason run in the MIAA Division 2-South Sectional Tournament.
"I feel blessed to have worked with such a talented group of kids," said Norton coach Todd Kefor, whose No. 17 seeded Lancers (8-6-7) battled the Tri-Valley League champion Panthers tough for the third time this season.
While Norton had dropped 1-0 and 4-1 decision to Holliston during the TVL campaign, Norton refused to surrender space to the Panthers during the scoreless first half. The Lancers' backline defenders - Kate Ledbetter, Jillian Wry and Stephanie Powers - rose to the challenge.
"Our defense held up very well, and that's against a very fast offense," said Kefor of Norton staving off many a Panther run. Maia, who had a dozen saves in goal for Norton, gave the Lancers a chance for the win.
The Lancers, who had scored six goals in winning their first two rounds in postseason play, had Holliston on its heels - taking the lead six minutes into the second half.
Nicollette Schuko headed in a corner kick taken by Ledbetter to stun the Panthers. Holliston had a sleight 7-3 edge in shots during the first half and finally tied the match in the 70th minute on a through ball. "They pressured us in the first half, but in the second half, we came out much more aggressively," said Kefor. "We had a few pushes, we broke them down."

The Norton Youth Soccer Board welcomes you to the 2009 fall recreational season. We welcome back families who have participated in past seasons, and look forward to meeting families who are new to the league this year. We thank all who volunteered to help make the season a success.
Work continued on the field improvement project over the summer. Water storage tanks have been delivered, and an irrigation system installed to improve Field 2 (6v6) and Field 3 (8v8). We are targeting a late September date for the system to be operational, and plan to slice seed at that time. The recreational fields have been reconfigured to allow play to continue while the work is completed. NYS would like to thank Jim Browne, who has spent countless hours on this project. NYS would also like to thank Bisco and D. Schumacher Landscaping for donating their time and materials to the project. As always, NYS welcomes any fundraising suggestions or assistance as we move to Phase II of the renovation project.
While we always hope for beautiful sunny days, New England weather doesn’t always cooperate. NYS would like to remind our members to check the NYS website for any game day cancellations. Also, as in past years, the refreshment trailer will be available each Saturday of the season. Stop by and choose from an assortment of coffee, hot chocolate, donuts, cold drinks, hamburgers, hot dogs, snacks and candy.

Halloween falls on a Saturday this year. If anyone has any ideas or would like to plan some activities around this date, we’d be interested in hearing from you. Seek out a board member or send email to Fa ... @nortonyouthsoccer.org
For those who volunteered, make sure you know when your shift is. Click here for volunteer schedules. For game day volunteer positions, you will need to sign the sign-in sheet to receive your $20 reimbursement at the end of the season.
Due to staffing and inventory considerations, the clothing stand is only planned to be opened the first two Saturdays of the season and Halloween. Make sure you remember to pickup your Norton Youth Soccer items on those dates!
Please be aware the referees have been instructed to watch for baseball/softball cleats, and earrings. For player safety reasons, NYS follows MYSA rules that prohibit these items during play.

Norton Youth Soccer is taking applications for anyone interested in coaching a competitive travel team this year. As soon as possible and by Sept. 1 at the latest, please send email to co ... @nortonyouthsoccer.org with the age/gender and division you would like to coach. In addition, please include whether you hold a coaching license already and if so, what level you've attained, what coaching experience you have and a brief explanation of why you would like to coach the team.
Also, there's an added wrinkle this year. In the interest of making sure our youngest competitive players are launched with the best possible training, we've added a requirement that all competitive head coaches for U8-U10 age groups must hold the G coaching license by Dec. 31, 2009. The G course is available online and can be taken at your own convenience. Assistant coaches are not required to take the G course but it is highly recommended that they do so.
For next year, the 2010-2011 season, another layer will be added when U11-U12 coaches must hold the minimum of an F coaching license by Dec. 31, 2010. Those of you with your G license already should consider getting the F license now. There's an F course on Aug. 29 in Halifax and Aug. 30 in Franklin. The F and G licenses are both reimburseable by NYS.
Please send email if you have any questions and/or if you are interested in serving as a competitive coach this year. Thanks for all of your help with the young men and women athletes of Norton.

Volunteerism is alive and well in Norton! From the grill to the fields to the sidelines, the responses to our call for volunteers for the Fall season has been very uplifting. Despite the large number of responses, NYS is still seeking volunteers for the following positions for the upcoming Fall season:
- Rec league director: This key individual will oversee all aspects of the Recreational season including coordination of coaching packages, interfacing with the volunteer coordinator and age group coordinators. This position can be very rewarding to someone looking to make a big impact.
- Age group coordinators for the U7, U9/10, and U11/12 age groups (boys and girls): These individuals may be involved with team selection. They also provide direction and communications to coaches in each age group.
- Equipment: Coordinate the ordering of all equipment. Maintain an inventory. Coordinate coaches bags and delivery of equipment for all coaches.
- Clothing: Coordinate the inventory, ordering and sale of merchandise through the clothing stand and the website. Without a volunteer, NYS will miss out on a significant funding source.
June is turning out to be a busy month for fundraisers to help renovate the Middle School fields. Please support the field renovation project through these and future field fundraisers:
- A bake sale will take place this Saturday, June 6th from 2-5:30pm at the Taunton Boys and Girls Club Lewis Park fields. A number of parents have donated both baked goods and beverages with proceeds going to the fields. While there, come watch our travel teams as they compete in South Coast play. Directions to Lewis Park can be found at the NYS website under "Fields and Directions".
- Four free tickets to a future Breakers game of the winner's choice are planned to be raffled off at the NYS Night at the Boston Breakers.
- Tuesday June 23rd will be NYS night at the Chateau Restaurant in Norton. A special ticket will be sent out via email in a few weeks to all NYS members. NYS will receive 20% from all checks with this ticket attached.
Finally, tickets are still available for NYS Night at the Boston Breakers on Sunday, June 14th at 6pm. The Breakers are the area's newest professional women's soccer team with three members of the 2008 gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic Team; Angela Hucles, Heather Mitts and Amy Rodriguez.

Please be aware that over 700 kids participate in the NYS fall season and over 200 kids in the competitive travel season.

NYS is completely volunteer driven and is in need of volunteers for the following Fall positions: Rec League Coordinator, Age Group Coordinators, Equipment Manager, coaches, and people to work the grill. Also, as we begin to renovate the fields, the league is in need of people to help drive fundraising activities. NYS is also looking for someone to manage the inventory and sale of NYS merchandise. Make a difference by volunteering for any of these positions. If interested, you can email re ... @nortonyouthsoccer.org For more details on each of these positions, visit the NYS Board and Volunteers page of the NYS website.

In 2006, NYS entered into an agreement with the Norton Schools, establishing the Middle School fields as the home of Norton Youth Soccer for the foreseeable future. Over the past couple of years, NYS has been exploring potential avenues for making substantial improvements to the fields.
Over the past two years, the league has taken several initial steps towards the goal of a field complex we can be proud to call home. To date, NYS has sunk a well, brought power to the well, and built a small shed to house the well head and pump. The league has also met with landscaping and irrigation professionals to get ideas for the next steps in the improvement process.
The degree of improvement and speed of the upgrade depend entirely on the league’s ability to finance the project. To date, nominal amounts have been factored into all league costs. However, we are at an important and more costly stage, and are reaching out to all league families for assistance. We are seeking help from anyone who may be in a position to contribute their skills or materials to pitch in and support the project. This spring, we anticipate needs that may include fencing, excavation, landscaping, and irrigation.
Our hope is to keep registration fees to a minimum. To do so, we need people with fundraising experience who can bring fresh ideas to the table and who are looking to make an impact.
NYS supports over 600 children in its Fall Recreational and indoor development programs along with over 200 players in our Competitive travel team program. Your participation will help determine the facilities we can provide for our children for years to come.
Separately, the league lost several dedicated and valued Board members in March. This is the perfect time to become involved, where your time and commitment can make a lasting difference in our league and for our town. If you cannot commit to a board position, we encourage you to participate in any way you can. A list of volunteer positions can be found at the NYS Board and Volunteers page at www.nortonyouthsoccer.org.
If you have any ideas or suggestions, would like to volunteer, or you are interested in making a donation to the field renovation project, please contact NYS at ny ... @nortonyouthsoccer.org

Norton’s Fall recreational season is run entirely by volunteers. The season normally runs nine consecutive weekends, starting in early September and ending in early November. Players practice once a week with games on Saturdays at the Norton Middle School. Your child will experience the fun of playing on a team, friendly competition, and will receive a uniform and a ball.
NYS uses an online registration system for Fall recreational signups. There are no walk-in signups. The registration link is now available on the Fall Recreational page of the NYS website. Additional program information can be found on that webpage.
** Deadline for registering is May 24th ** Norton boys and girls born 8/1/1994 through 7/31/2004 are eligible. The cost is $85 per player. This year, to promote and broaden volunteer participation, the Board has instituted a volunteer fee of $20 per family. This fee will be assessed to the first player registered per family and will be reimbursed at the end of the season to all who have completed eligible volunteer service.
Anyone registering for the Fall recreational season after May 24th will be placed on a wait list and will be assigned to a team if/when space is available. A $15.00 nonrefundable late fee will be imposed for each late registration accepted.
Registration is also open for NYS’s popular weeklong Summer Clinic. A brochure can be downloaded from the Registration page of the NYS website.
Contact the NYS Registrar re ... @nortonyouthsoccer.org with any questions about player/volunteer signups.

This past weekend has been a tempting reminder that spring is coming. Preparation and planning are already underway for the fall recreational season. On-line registrations will open in April. Previously registered families will be notified via e-mail. Please help us reach out to new families and kindergarten age children.
The Annual Meeting and General Meetings for Norton Youth Soccer are scheduled for Wednesday, March 11th at 7:00 at the Yelle School library. Topics for discussion include Board nominations, Board Officer positions, spring soccer, field conditions, upcoming registration and any other organizational issues suggested by the attendees.
NYS is entirely volunteer driven. The league is considering a variety of measures to encourage volunteer participation and involvement. Ideas up for consideration include the addition of a volunteer fee as part of the registration process and also waiving all or a portion of family registration fees for volunteers who assume a larger volunteer role.
A partial list of the volunteer positions includes:
|
| Recreation League Coordinator | SCSL Coordinator | Uniforms | | Concessions Director | Cranberry Contact | Revolution/Breakers Contact | | Equipment | SCSL Contact | Coaching/Clinic Coordinator | | Volunteer Coordinator | Referee Coordinator | Field Development | | Concessions Assistant | Score Oversight | Fundraising/Sponsorships | | Field Scheduling | Taunton B&G Club Contact | | | Field Set-Up | Tournament Coordinator | | | League Referees | Tournament Patches | | | Traffic Control | | | | Clothing Stand | | |
Descriptions for each of these positions will be available shortly before registration opens on the NYS website. During the recreation on-line registration you will have an opportunity to select volunteer roles.
Notes:
Registrations will also be opening shortly for the NYS summer soccer camp. The camp will run from July 27th to July 31st. More information will be available shortly on line at www.nortonyouthsoccer.org.
The league will be losing several dedicated and valued Board members in the upcoming months. This is the perfect time to become involved, where your time and commitment can make a lasting difference in our league and for our town. If you cannot commit to a board position, we encourage you to participate in any way you can. If you have any ideas or suggestions, click here for a list of NYS contacts.

On November 29, 2008 the Norton United U16 Girls won the Forekicks Thanksgiving Tournament in dramatic fashion. With less than two minutes left in overtime Nicolette Schuko scored the winning goal off a great corner kick from Jill Wry. The team was led by great goal keeping by Audrey Maia who only allowed 2 goals in the tournament. She was supported with great defense from Jill, Lindsey White, Emily Hastings and Liz Hunter. On the offensive side Nicolette, Colleen McDermott, Anne Ledbetter, Katie Durst, Cassie Igatta, Brianna Valerie and Kelsey Goldberg put constant pressure on the opposing teams. This is the second straight year that the team has won the championship. Congratulations to the girls and family and friends who supported the team.
The team is coached by Howard Goldberg and John Mcdermott.

1. Competitive teams are comprised of the top players in each age group. They are selected to represent Norton in both Indoor and Spring Soccer. Tryouts for the 2007/2008 season have not yet been scheduled.
2. All players MUST attend one of the tryouts to be eligible for a team; attending both is recommended. Coaches will also scout players.
3. At the tryout, players must check-in, receive a name tag and complete a registration form.
4. Players are required to purchase their own uniforms via the League. The uniforms are used for multiple seasons as the players’ number is registered with the League.
5. Players committing to an indoor team are expected to participate in both indoor sessions. Spring teams will be declared in late November. Fees for indoor will be determined by the number of players and costs associated with the team. The fee for Spring 2008 play has not been set. Other costs associated with the team (i.e. practices or tournaments) will be extra. The coach will collect and submit all payments to the League.
6. For players in the U6 and U7 age group as well as those players who do not make an A or B Team in U8 through U10, the League may be offering an Indoor Futsal program at the Taunton Boys and Girls Club on Sundays, for 10 weeks, between November and January. Teams will be formed according to age.
8. Players MUST come prepared to play soccer at tryouts. Bring a ball, wear appropriate clothing and shin guards. Players will not be permitted to tryout if they do not wear shin guards.
