Donate your old soccer cleats DYSL is working with the international charity PRONASCE to deliver soccer cleats to the children of Mozambique. DYSL has already sent them our extra unused soccer uniforms. Now we're looking for your help to get them cleats. I'm sure your kids have some cleats they have out grown or no longer use. Bring those cleats and/or shin guards to one of our DYSL registration. They will be collected and sent to children of Mozambique. Here are some photos of the children in their new Delta uniforms SOCCER SCHOOL MOZAMBIQUE "Nowadays in our globalize society, it is common to see children, teenagers and young adults engaged and unlawful practices such as: consumption of alcohol, drugs and prostitution. In Mozambique, a poor country of the Africa Continental, these facts do not escape the rules. Pronasce is harnessing the power of sports to engage young people and encouraging positive social behavior through its soccer workshop. We believe this program will decrease young people vulnerability to alcoholism, drugs, STD and other crimes. In addition to coaching soccer we will evangelize, counsel and provide education".

It is important that you attend if you sign up. Last year all classes filled. Students must attend at least 5 of the 6 nights. The second week covers critical material. Comp Teams - the Grade 8 course is the entry level course and the one you will want to take. Current Grade 9 referees - This is a great way to upgrade your license with the full Grade 8 course. It will provide a great review of the material already covered in the Grade 9 course and cover most things in more depth. If there is enough interest we'll offer a Grade 9 bridging couse later in the year. Our District is planning a district wide Grade 9 bridging course. Keep in mind, they have never actually held one, and all Grade 9 to Grade 8 upgrades have been through a Grade 8 course. There is no cost to DYSL members for the course. Students passing will need to pay their $25 license fee on the last night. ($20 for Grade 9) The course is open to youth (age 13+) and adults. The passing rate for students under 13 has been very low in the past. Your time will come - I know you're dying to referee. If you know of other people interested in the course please forward this information to them ASAP.

I am looking for someone to coach DYSL’s Top Soccer Team. TOPSoccer (The Outreach Program for Soccer) is a community based soccer program that is designed to meet the needs of children aged 4-19 years with physical and/or mental disabilities. This team is made up of great kids wanting to share a piece of that team soccer spirit. They practice one day a week and play their games on Saturdays. If you already have a team we can work your game schedule and practices so you will not have a conflict. This team is very important to our Top Soccer players and parents as well as many in the community. I will be handling all of the administrative aspects of the team so all you need to do is coach. Please call me and I will answer any other questions you have. Thank you! Please contact: Kim Habiger 925-777-0169 or e-mail at kenco22@comcast.net Kim Habiger 2/28/08 4:19 PM U6 AND U8 COACHES NEEDED - NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY Every year the developmental divisions, Under 6 and Under 8, are short coaches. Thank you to those parents who over the years have stepped up at the last minute to coach. We are constantly in need of coaches in those age groups and welcome those who want to coach in the non competative Developmental Age Groups. DYSL offers coaching licensing classes for new coaches as well as advanced coaching classes for those coaches who have already gotten their F license. DYSL offers referee classes for those who want to take their knowledge a step further. Trust me, become a referee and you see the game a lot differently. The U8 and U6 age group directors will conduct a coaches clinic prior to the season starting. You will get a packet that will help you run practices, run games, manage the team, parents and players. You will get ongoing support from your directors. No experience is necessary. You just need a desire to work with young children in a positive enviroment and be willing to have fun. If you have questions please contact either Shawn Wallace, U8 Director, DYSLShawn@comcast.net, or Noe Cortez, U6 Director, coachn@sbcglobal.net.
