survey

Sundays will continue

There were 16 votes to continue the Sunday match, so I believe the interest is there.

Hope to see you on the field soon!

Sunday soccer poll

With our Wednesday match set to kick off on Wednesday, March 14, we want to gauge interest in keeping the Sunday game going as we approach summer. Please vote to let us know you are interested in continuing the match as long as we have enough players.

*** Please note we will need to designate someone to transfer the goals to and from the game ***

Sunday game is at noon

Those who voted for the noon start time have prevailed! Hope you can make it out this week!

Posting poll results

The Saturday match is on as scheduled tomorrow. Hope to see you out there.

Since I have been slacking lately on the blog site, this is a quick note to let you all know the status of the shirts.  I spoke with the printers this week and we will get a cost estimate very soon.  Of course the more shirts we order, the cheaper they will be per shirt.  I have only heard from a couple people, so please let me know if you plan to order shirts, and have not yet contacted me. I just need the number of shirts you plan to request.

Here are the results of the poll for posterity:

Green wins!!!

The officially sanctioned Youngs Park Soccer Club shirts will be available soon in white and dark green. I will send out an email when we know the price, but if you know you are interested in purchasing one or more, please let me know.  The short-sleeved version will almost certainly be less than $20 each with the long-sleeved version a few dollars more.  I am hoping to give the manufacturer a rough estimate of how many shirts in each style and color we will need.

A great opportunity and a new poll

We are excited to announce we will soon have YPSC shirts available for sale. We will offer them in both white and dark, and all shirts will come emblazoned with the Youngs Park Soccer Club crest found towards the bottom of this page.

Please check out the pictures of the 2 styles we will offer on the right-side of this page, and vote in our poll to determine the dark color. The winner of the poll will be announced on Tuesday, May 11.

This week we should be back at SME, so come out to play some soccer and convince others why your choice for the dark shirt should win.

See you all on the pitch!

Porter park prevails

2nd poll is complete.  I will be updating the website in the coming days with the correct failover location.  Thanks for voting!

Poll reinstated

Hopefully everyone had a chance to check out Porter Park. In case you have not, I will keep the poll open until next Friday.

Please register a vote if you have an opinion on our back-up field.

2nd poll is suspended until next week

Unfortunately, I could not save the results but it is possible you will want to change your vote after Saturday.

The bulk of this post was sent in an email this week. If you did not receive this email and want to be included in the list, please send me an email.

Tom found a very promising field that is a little closer to Shawnee Mission East that the field we used last week (Franklin Park). No one sent objections, so we will meet at SME this coming Saturday for the match as planned. If the track team is practicing, as they were last Saturday, we will move to Porter Park. The directions follow:
Exit the parking lot and turn left onto 75th Street. Turn right at the light at Roe and proceed less than 3 blocks north. The park will be on the right side of Roe Avenue. Tomahawk Road borders the park on the north side.

If the SME field is open, we will play there and then anyone who wants to check out Porter Park can follow me there. Next week, I will open the poll back up with Porter Park as one of the options. Perhaps you were considering changing your vote after Tunde's passionate appeal for Youngs Park votes. Next week will be your chance...

See you on the pitch!

1st poll is closed

Subs vs 2nd game

By an overwhelming majority, the option of the subs starting a second game has prevailed. Tom or Wasim will continue to bring the goals (both sets) and on those rare occasions that neither will be able to play, I will try to arrange for transport.

We will set up the first game and put the second goals on the side of the field. When the game is full (11v11), any later arriving players can set up the other field for a second game.

Of course we are not a rigidly run group, so rules are always subject to change. Since everyone had a chance to let their opinion be known, this will be the guideline as the majority has voted for it.

Not sure how you all feel, but I cannot wait for some warmer weather...

Alternate field for the Saturday match

This past Saturday was a stern reminder that we need to have a plan in place for times when the scheduled field is in use. This smacks of a new poll!

Please register your vote if you have an opinion as to where we should move when we cannot use SME.

I found a calendar for the East field. It looks like the field will be in use on April 24 and May 1, so we will have to find an alternate field for those two Saturdays. It was not clear, however, the dates that the track team will be practicing, like they were this past Saturday.

If you would like my phone number to call or text when you cannot find the group, please send me an email.

Five bucks!

Looks like this weekend will be warmer, unless the weather wonks are lying again.

Reminder for those of you not working on Monday (or if you have a long, flexible lunch hour):
The annual Presidents Day Grudge Match is scheduled for Monday at 10am on the SME field. Start thinking now about who you have a grudge against and how you can line up on the other side. If you need suggestions, please contact Ramiro who plays out his grudge against Wasim almost every week. Unfortunately, the Treasury Department does not produce enough $5 bills for him to pay off his debt.

Also, please vote in the poll. There have been strong opinions on this one, so feel free to express yours. Notice there is no place for comments. I will play around with that to see if I can add a suggestion area underneath.
