Spring Registration Applications
Registration applications are now being accepted for new players for spring 2012 soccer in Shandaken and Woodstock. If you registered last year to play 2011/12 soccer, you do not need to re-register for the spring program.

Please check the website regularly for news and updates.

Note that coach certification is now required by AYSO for U-6 and U-8. If we don't have enough certified coaches, we will have to limit the number of players participating. Please register as a volunteer and join the fun on the field. Safe Haven, U-6 & U-8 coach training can be done online. First register as a volunteer at www.eAYSO.org and then take the online courses at www.aysotraining.org

Please Remember…..
AYSO is a parent-based volunteer organization established to provide a positive experience for our children. Go to the games. Learn the rules. Above all, be tolerant of the children’s coaches and referees mistakes and weaknesses.

Applications for 2011/12 Soccer Season

How to apply to join AYSO Region 732

Applications for the second half of the Fall 2011/Spring 2012 Soccer Season are now being accepted for boys and girls ages 4 - 15 yrs old. AYSO Region 732 now offers soccer with Shandaken Soccer Club as well as Woodstock Soccer Club.

The Spring League program is from mid-April to late June with practices on Wednesdays from 5:00pm-6:30pm & Saturdays from 10:00am-11:30am with games on Saturday mornings & Sunday afternoons.
Any player registered to play in the Fall of 2011, remains registered and able to play in the 2012 Spring Soccer League, with no extra fees. All registered players receive a uniform that is to be worn the entire season. Winter indoor soccer is also available to registered players, although space is very limited and therefore offered on a first come first served basis to those that request a slot on an indoor roster.

Registration applications are first come first served basis. The demand is now greater than our capacity, so you are advised to complete the application process early.

Keep Your Kids Hydrated

Keep Your Kids Hydrated

Tips On Preventing Heat Illnesses
When you are watching sports, have you noticed that the first thing that the players do when they have a break is get something to drink? They drink every chance they get throughout the game. That's how important proper hydration is to safety and athletic performance.

Proper hydration is as important to athletic safety as any protective equipment. In fact, heat illnesses are among the most dangerous sports injuries, and some of the most preventable. AYSO has some tips on how to make sure your soccer player remains adequately hydrated. While proper hydration is always important, it is something to pay particular attention to as we roll into the summer months, especially in areas of increased humidity.

Did you know that when you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated?

"Your body can't keep up with the loss of fluids," according to Herbalife's Vice President of Medical Affairs and Education, Dr. Luigi Gratton. Your body has thirst indicators, and when you are thirsty-your body is telling you that you are already dehydrated.
Did you know there are two types of fluid loss?

Woodstock Winter Indoor Soccer Program

Hello Soccer fans, what an exiting season it has been so far, we have had a record number of children register to play soccer. So to continue with this soccer fever, we have been making plans for indoor soccer during the winter.

This will be the seventh year that we are offering this opportunity to WSC players. The goal is to have our kids play indoor soccer during the cold winter months and by doing so learn a little bit more about ball control, dribbling and passing etc.

This winter we will have indoor soccer at the Zena Elementary School Gym, and may also have indoor soccer at Bennett Elementary and Woodstock Elementary. Check back for more info inthe coming weeks.
Note that on any winter day that Kingston School District has a snow day, Zena Elementary School Gym is closed. On any winter day Onteora School District has a snow day, Woodstock Elementary and Bennett School Gym's are closed.

Due to the size of the gym's, there's room for a limited amount of players. Please make sure that If your child decides to join us, he/she will be committed to come to practice (we will follow Onteora's School breaks/holidays schedule).

We need all the help we can get!

Volunteer!

Volunteers_1.jpg

As part of the American Youth Soccer Organization The Woodstock Soccer Club is a volunteer organization. The Woodstock Soccer Club has no paid volunteers or paid personnel. The participation of the board, as well as, coaches, and referees that step forward each season, keep this program running and a functioning part of the community. All AYSO volunteers must be registered and complete an online Safe Haven course. This is to ensure our volunteers the best opportunity to help keep the youth of the community involved in a safe, fun and fair sporting environment. We need your help. No experience required. Join us and volunteer now.

We're always in need of coaches, board members, referees, help with field maintenance, and with shaping events like the end-of-season parties. The travel teams only exist because enthusiastic parents got involved with other leagues, recruited players and volunteered to coach.
