Team,

I strongly encourage all the u10 players to take advantage of this opportunity.  I can tell you from experience that come the Spring season, it is easy for coaches to identify players who have trained from those who have not from their improvement.  Thanks.

End of Season Party and more...

Dear HFC/ASC Families-

Hope all of you are getting back to normal and survived the storm.  Unfortunately, due to the weather our season year end party was canceled.  We have rescheduled the party for Sunday November 13th from 6:00-8:30 at the Hampshire Dome.   The club will rent field space and will be providing the pizza and drinks.  We are asking families to bring a salad (pasta, green, potato, etc) or a desert if possible.  Players and families come dressed to play.

·         If you could please let your team manager know if you will be attending and how many people so we can plan on the correct amount of pizza. 

Also, our Annual General Meeting (AGM) was scheduled for November so we will be combining the two events and will do q quick review of the year, and give families an opportunity to interact with the Board.  During the AGM, families can meet the board and help to chart our future as a club.  We recently acknowledged the great work of two hard-working volunteer – Mike Osborne, and Amy Facey.  We would like to extend our thanks and gratitude for the years of service from Mike (President) and Amy (Registrar) who have resigned their positions.  Both have been instrumental in the daily activities of the club and helping to lead us through the past few years.  We are happy to announce that Molly Dix has taken over as President with Pete Camello filling Molly's seat as Vice President.  Nicole Salvas will be taking over for Amy Facey as Registrar.  Amy will still be involved with the club but at a different level.  We appreciate their years of service, and welcome new volunteers. 

Please plan on joining us at the season end party and AGM; HFC/ASC is a volunteer organization and we value the insights and energy of each family. 

We look forward to seeing you on November 13, 2011. 

·         Also, don't forget we need to book our space for indoor at the Dome, and need to plan on your player. Register at: https://www.gotsport.com/asp/application/reg/Default.asp?ProgramID=11076&Type=PLAYER

ASC u10 games - CANCELED

Team:

Just received notice that tomorrow's games for both the Blue and Red teams are canceled.  These games will not be rescheduled.  As these are the last games of the season and we have no more practices, this is the end of the Fall season.

Two reminder items.

1. The club is trying to reschedule the end-of-season event.  Please look out for more information about this during the week.
2. If you have not already, I encourage you to register your player for the winter training sessions.  The training is a great value and will make sure your player is ready when the snows recede and the Spring season begins.
   

Thanks and as always let me know if you have any questions.

ASC U10 Red at Hudson United SC @ 1:00pm

Team,

Our last game is on Sunday, 10/30 at Hudson Freedom Fields against Hudson United.  Please wear red uniform shirts to the game and bring white.  It is supposed to be a sunny day, but it will be cold so please dress appropriately and bring something warm to wear when you are not playing.

Also please remember that we have the club end of season event on Saturday.  I hope everyone will be able to come and enjoy the skills, tail gating and soccer game.

I also want to encourage everyone again to register for winter training.  The more u10's we get to train together the more effect the training will be and the more improvement everyone will see come the spring season.

As always if you have any questions, please let me know.  See you all at practice on Friday, at SNHU on Saturday and at the game on Sunday.

Subject: ASC Year End Event at SNHU 2:30-6:00 on Sat Oct 29th

Hello HFC and ASC Community:

This year our club season end event will be at Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) next Saturday, October 29th.  The order of events:

·         1:30 - EDP skills session – we will start at what is labeled as "Cricket Field" on the map, then we shift to tailgate (also on the map)

·         2:30 - Tailgate (Lower parking lot next to building #1-see map attached) before SNHU Mens' game – the club will provide pizza, and paper products, please let your manager know (via response e-mail) how many pieces for your family.  Items to bring:

o   U11 – snacks and appetizers

o   U12 and U13 – drinks

o   EDP should bring a dessert

·         4:00 - SNHU men will play American International at 4 PM.  The team is currently #2 in the Northeast-10 conference, and 14^th on the national poll (without their latest win).  Let's cheer on our coaching staff at their final regular season game.  There is no cost for the game so come and cheer on your coaches.  Even if you cannot make the tailgating feel free to come just for the game. 

Hope to see you all there.  If you have a game that conflicts, the club has (or is) trying to rescheduling.  Your manager will send details for each team.
Wear your ASC gear!!!!!
