BAYTOWN SAINTS

YOUTH SOCCER CLUB

South Texas Cup (April 10-11 2021)

Phenomenal weekend for all BSYSC teams that participated in the 2021 South Texas Cup.

Lets give all of our players a round of applause for their commitment and effort this weekend. I hope all players had the opportunity to enjoy this great game of Soccer.

Many thanks to all of our Volunteer Coaches who spent their entire weekend on the road and on Soccer fields this weekend. This club would not be able to operate and grow without your commitment, determination and work ethic. Thank you for all you do.

Parents play an equally important part as well. You are the rock on which your players soccer careers is built on. As a seasoned Soccer Parent I have learned to appreciate early Saturday and Sunday alarms, a good chair, A good gaMe and a tall cup of coffee. Thanks for all you do parents. Keep up the good work.

This is what we all work for:

Baytown Soccer Complex

Rain is in the forecast this week.

Baytown Soccer Complex will be Open for Practices Monday.

BSYSC will evaluate Complex after any rain event and will communicate any closures.

STYSA PLAYING TIME RULES - SEE PAGE 3

IF YOU SEE ANY DEVIATION FROM THIS RULE DURING THE SEASON PLEASE BRING IT UP TO YOUR COACH. IF THE DEVIATION FROM THE RULE CONTINUES PLEASE CONTACT OUR DISCIPLINE AND PROTEST BOARD MEMBER SO BSYSC CAN ADDRESS ANY DISCREPANCIES.

Score

Score is not recorded at this age group for ranking purposes.

Goals will go in from time to time and we must enjoy this and celebrate for both teams.

Coaches, please make sure games are balance and you are taking the time to play all your players in different positions when possible.

There are no goalies at this age level but players will tend to gravitate towards their goal to defend it; this is normal.

Player Cards

Remember to have all player Cards available for the game.

Crosby

At this time Crosby is playing 5v5 (No Goalie) and BSYSC is playing 4v4. If you play in Crosby lets accommodate to their playing structure. BSYSC will evaluate during their next Club Meeting to change to a 5v5 (No Goalie) playing structure; more to come.

Coaches and Parents Norms and Guidelines

All Coaches and Parents must follow BSYSC Norms and Guidelines during BSYSC events.

Lets enjoy our kids and lets enjoy this “Beautiful Game”

If a Coach is unable to attend scheduled games due to unforeseen issues a parent can step in and act as the coach for the team for that day as long as they provide Drivers License information to REF (Referee).

ALL players and coaching cards need to be laminated no exceptions. Get those cards laminated as REFs (Referee’s) have been instructed to take a hard stance on this that can result in NO PLAY.
