PARENTS WHO YELL INSTRUCTIONS AT GAMES....
IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT TELLING YOUR KIDS WHAT TO DO AS THEY PLAY ONLY HINDERS THEIR DEVELOPMENT. HAVING PARENTS, COACHES AND TEAMMATES YELLING AT PLAYERS WHAT TO DO, ONLY CONFUSES THEM AND PRVENTS THEM FROM LEARNING THE GAME. OUR COUNTRY HAS MANY KIDS WHO DROP OUT OF SOCCER BECAUSE IT ISN'T FUN. ONE THE MAIN FACTORS IS HAVING PARENTS AND COACHES WHO CONSTANTLY PROVIDE INSRUCTIONS THROUGHOUT THE GAME. SOCCER EXPERTS AT EVERY LEVEL TELL US THAT KIDS PERFORM BETTER AND LEARN MORE ABOUT THE GAME WHEN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO DO IT WITHOUT BEING HOUNDED FROM THE SIDELINES.

IMPORTANT SOCCER PARENT INFO!
IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT HAVING YOUR PLAYER LEARN THE GAME OF SOCCER...OR HAVE A KID IN ANY SPORT..WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU CLICK ON THIS LINK AND READ THE SELECTED CHAPTER FROM THE BOOK "GAME ON". YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE GAME OF SOCCER...WE ARE SURE YOU GAIN A LOT FROM TAKING A FEW MINUTES TO READ THIS http://www.tomfarrey.com/pdfs/farrey-excerpt-ch4.pdf

RANDOM STUFF...

DOIN' THE U-6 SHUFFLE...THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED US MOVE THE U-6 FIELDS AT SAGAMORE PARK. WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY CONFUSION IT MAY HAVE CAUSED. WE FOLLOWED THE PLAN THAT WAS GIVEN TO US AND TRUSTEES OF SAGAMORE HILLS DECIDED IT WOULD BE BETTER TO BE FURTHER AWAY FROM THE BASEBALL FIELDS.

HELP US HELP YOUR PLAYER LEARN THE GAME
YOU ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO TALK WITH COACHES ABOUT ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT YOUR SOCCER EXPERIENCE. YOU ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO CALL IN WITH YOUR THOUGHTS TO 440-570-2593.

SOME FEEDBACK WE HAVE GOTTEN ABOUT GAME TIMES..
MANY OF YOU HAVE EXPRESSED CONCERN OVER THE U-TEN GAME TIMES AT SMITH PARK. WE COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT SOME PARENTS AND PLAYERS WITH U-6/-8 PLAYERS WHO PLAY AT SAGAMORE PARK ON SATURDAY, ARE INCOVENIENCED BY THE OVER-LAPPING TIMES. WE ARE TRYING TO CORRECT THAT FOR THE FALL. OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE IT WORK FOR EVERYONE AND TOTALLY APPRECIATE YOU WANTING TO SEE EACH OF YOUR KIDS PLAY THEIR WEEKEND GAMES.

THE NHSA THANKS YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT! THANKS TO YOU, THE PLAYERS, THE COACHES AND FAMILIES OF THE NHSA, WE ARE GROWING SOCCER IN NORDONIA HILLS. WE ARE THE LEAGUE HAVIN' THE MOST FUN AND APPRCIATE YOUR SUPPORT!
