2009 Herndon Tournament

 

 Herndon Youth Soccer All-Star Tournament
 
The SYC Family would all like to congratulate all of our teams and players that participated in this season’s Herndon Youth Soccer All-Star Cup. The weather cooperated this year and all our teams participated under sunny skies, but dealt with some relatively cool temperatures.
 
We developed and sent twenty-seven (27) of our best teams to the “Big Show”. Some divisions only sent one (1) team, where others sent up to three (3). Nonetheless, I would like to share the results of some of our top place finishers: 
 
 
U9G (Red)        Champions [Coach Bradley Harrison] à
U11B (Red)       Finalists [Coach Adrian Gomez]
U16B               Finalists [Coach Tim Eller]
U16G               Champions [Coach Roy Reeves]
U19G               Finalists [Coach Jim Miller]
 

 
 
In addition to our Finalists and Champions, many of our teams placed well within their respective divisions. In many divisions, several of our teams were only moments or a goal away from getting to the Championship Game. Even though each season brings new challenges to our League Directors and Coaches to develop teams of balance, skill, and competitiveness, SYC has always promoted to reward those players that demonstrate skill, sportsmanship, and enthusiasm for the game. Regardless of the final tournament standings, all of our coaches and players deserve a huge CONGRATULATION for their hard work and dedication in getting to and playing in the “Big Show”.
 
Also, the next time you see Jim Miller in the community or on the pitch, be sure to thank him for serving as the SYC House Soccer Tournament Coordinator. Without his commitment to excellence, and all the volunteer hours he puts in to ensure these events are organized for success, we would not be prepared for these tournaments.
 
From the House Soccer Commissioner, Tournament Coordinator, and SYC Family, we congratulate all of you on a job well done.
 
Please have a happy and safe holiday season!!

Players receive professional instruction with Tamir Linhart’s GOLDENBOOT trainers. All children receive an SYC t-shirt and new Mini-kickers receive a size 3 soccer ball. 
 
Registration for the spring closes March 13th.  Sessions will be held Mondays at 4:00.
House Soccer Policy Change
Posted February 13, 2009
 PLAY WITH GRADE IS BACK!!!
 
 In response to numerous requests over the last few years, and as a result of changes to age group rules for participation in House Soccer All-Star Soccer Tournaments, the SYC Soccer Committee has approved revisions to the House League Structure and Age Group Chart. The changes will permit players with birthdays that fall after the normal age group cut off date to play with their school grade classmates, so long as the player’s birthday is less than one full year after the age group cut off date.

THE SYC U-8 "BRIDGE" SOCCER PROGRAM

SYC Soccer is continuing the highly successful “Bridge” Soccer program for the Spring 2010 season.  The program seeks to identify rising Under-8 boys and girls in the Fall (current Under-7 boys and girls this past Spring) that have genuine interest/enthusiasm for the game, have acquired/developed a very basic soccer aptitude faster than many of their teammates, classmates and neighbors and would like to play with children of similar outlook on the game.

The program begins with the selection of qualified and interested coaches. Candidates must meet the criterion developed by the SYC Soccer Commissioners. Candidates are selected following submission of an application "package" that includes a soccer resume, sample training plan, have conducted a "basic" youth training session, licensing courses and completed identifiable seminars and conferences.

Team Sportsmanship Liaison

TEAM SPORTSMANSHIP LIAISON (TSL) also commonly referred in the past as “field marshal”

 

When spectators are permitted to watch games from the sidelines, they are obviously very close to the field and in a position to influence a game in ways which they could not if they were in stands in a stadium setting.  Further, since teams and team management personnel may be on the opposite side of the field, there has been no effective way to control disruptive spectator sideline behavior.
