Hello, CiTY Families!
We hope everyone has had or is ready for a great return to school and the start of the seasonal soccer year. As we wrap up a busy CiTY summer full of soccer, international travel, camp, and fun, we are reminded of our three core philosophies:
| |
WE ARE SOCCER PEOPLE SERVING SOCCER FAMILIES
After a record number of tryout participants this past spring we added a number of new teams to our travel program. With that, comes new coaches and managers, with whom we have been working all summer to train and get our teams on the field and ready to play. We are excited to welcome these additions to our club as a shining example of this core philosophy.
| |
WE SERVE ALL LEVELS, INCLUDING SPECIAL NEEDS
CiTY Special Needs clinic begins on Sept. 15! Volunteer opportunities are available for the whole family, and it's also a great way for our high school aged players to stay connected with the club in the fall while they sit out this travel season to play for their school teams.
| |
|
WE DEVELOP PLAYERS ON AND OFF THE FIELD
In addition to the soccer piece, all CiTY programs aim to maintain good physical, social, emotional, and mental health. Our partnership with Rehab2Perform supports us in this mission and they will be offering a free injury consult night for CiTY players at any level on Sept. 26 (see below).
| |
We look forward to seeing all of your faces back at the fields, and as always, the CiTY Leadership team is available and welcomes questions, comments, and feedback.
Go CiTY!
