It’s almost back-to-school time, which means it’s soccer registration time. This year, let us reach out to every child who wants to play soccer. CalNorth states in its bylaws that we are here for every player who wants to play.
I know all of you will be working hard with little reward, but to most of you, watching the kids play is not just fun; it’s inspiring. The joy and enthusiasm on their faces remind us why we dedicate our time and effort to this beautiful game, and it’s this inspiration that keeps us going.
CalNorth and District 7 are here to support you every step of the way. We want to ensure that every player, coach, and volunteer has the best possible experience this season. You can be confident in our support. To achieve this, it’s crucial to remind your coaches to complete their requirements NOW. Early completion of these tasks, such as background checks, training sessions, and certifications, will ensure a smooth and efficient start to the season without any unnecessary delays.
Let’s make this soccer season the best one yet by being prepared and proactive. Together, we can create an environment where every child can learn, grow, and, most importantly, have playing soccer. We are deeply grateful for your dedication and hard work. Your efforts make a significant difference in the lives of our young players, and we couldn’t do it without you.
