Spring 2023 Registration opens Sunday 2/26 @ 5pm!

EXCITING NEWS!  CYSC Spring 2023 is nearly finished the planning phase!  The only thing missing is YOU!  To remedy that, S'23 Registration will open tomorrow, Sunday Feb 26 @ 5pm.  For your planning, please see all the Registration & Schedule info here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1G_1N0pYUM-_UefpViS3C-6TyqUFZ2QnGjfknmG9kxA4/edit?usp=sharing

Since we are CYSC, many details remain the same:

Who: Any player age 3+ and families

What:  Building a passion for the Beautiful Game through (and as) a Community

When: March 20 thru May 20 (Weekly camp schedule outlined in the link above)

Where: Capitolo Playground, 9th/Federal

How: $30/player.  And through the efforts of our amazing volunteer base.

Why: Honestly,... mostly for the juice boxes...

Since we are in the Spring, a few changes/notes:

1.  It is HIGHLY recommended that you delete/redownload the XPLOR app.  Right now!  Please make sure you are functioning correctly before tomorrow.

2.  It is also HIGHLY recommended that you familiarize yourself with the registration process above - it is different (easier!) than last year ;)

3. Remember: you roster your player based on age AS OF 9/1/2022.  This is similar to the school district - you don't come back from winter break and move up a grade because you had a birthday.  No, you move up in the Fall as a group!)  Following...

3b.  Returning players: you're in the SAME CAMP as F'22 - (confirm: XPLOR -> Player acct -> Schedule -> Reservations -> Past -> scroll down to November)

4.  Peewee Options: PW1 & PW2 will be offered on Mondays AND Tuesdays!  You can pick 1 (no, not both!?) at registration.

4b.  Young Tykes: NEW in the Spring... open to newly eligible players (ie, those who've turned 3 since 9/1/22).

5.  This season a twist: Registration (tomorrow) is preceding our Volunteer Organization Meetings (likely Sat 3/11).  Coach Graham, whaaaaat?  The new process is thus: please register your child (including to a waitlist so we can gauge interest).  Following, there will be a mandatory preseason meeting for all families registered to each camp at which we will source the muscle to make that camp function (or adjust rosters, as necessary).  Please know that we have NEVER turned away players (even from a waitlist) and we don't intend to do so this year.  BUT!... I expect nearly 300 kids and we can no longer move forward with a volunteer base suited to 200 kids.  Makes sense, right?  Meeting details/volunteer needs will be coordinated once I see roster size/interest levels.

More?  Maybe.  Let's get through tomorrow first!

(There are instructions in the doc above on making XPLOR accounts... feel free to send this information to anyone you wish, whether they are current players or not.)

1...2...3...Go Capitolo!

Creating Accounts in XPLOR - instructions

 IMPORTANT: as of Fall 2022, the ONLY way to assure you receive CYSC announcements is to set up accounts in XPLOR (our new communication/registration software.)

we're happy/able to receive emails at capitolosoccer@gmail.com

Notes:

All camps are considered “tentative” until a volunteer base required to support that camp is secured!

Of particular importance: * - all Mon/Tues camps reserve the ability to switch from M->T or vice versa.

DISCLAIMER: CALCULATE YOUR PLAYERS AGE CAREFULLY!

Final camp placement is based on actual age on 9/1/2022 - NOT your preferred practice day.

Availability in the correct camp cannot be guaranteed due to mistakes at registration.

It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the registration instructions before hand.  With the new software comes the bonus of easy registration, but also the cost of having to learn a new application/software.  Instructions are HERE

It is also recommended that you pre-make user accounts in the XPLOR software to ease the burden of actual registration.  Those Instructions are HERE

Finally, please note the other "downside" to digital registration... lack of attendance at Volunteer Meetings ;(.  There are currently MANY FEWER volunteers than are needed to support any of the camps above.  Until such time as those volunteer roles are filled, ALL CAMPS ARE CONSIDERED TENTATIVE.  (Refunds will be issued for any camp that ultimately doesn't play Fall 2022.)

Preliminary F'22 Details

Exciting times: Fall 2022 details are falling into place!

The following information is being released at this time with two objectives:

1.  To encourage the creation of XPLOR accounts - XPLOR Account Setup Instructions

CYSC has recently exceeded Google email/send limits; (while everyone is still included in, and welcome to join, the GMail list serve) the best way to assure timely updates is to join CYSC XPLOR.  Further, registration will take place (digitally) on the XPLOR platform, and require user accounts made prior to registration so as to avoid hiccups during registration.

2.  For your planning purposes! - Feel free to review and spread the word!
