Design Contest
In honour of our 10th
anniversary, our club is held a contest last month to design
the logo that will appear on the coaches' gift shirts to be
handed out at the coaches meetings on Aug 31st and Sept 1st.
Kayla's winning design had to include the themes "Honour the

Skills Session 0900-1200 and Understanding the game
1300-1500.
- REVISED DATE NOW 5 SEP 09 2009 at Valley
View Fields.
- These sessions are a must for any
first time coach.
- Its all about fun games to
play/coach with the kids, soccer skills basics, child
development, and basically how to run a practise.
- The second 2 hours in the afternoon is
dedicated to how to position kids on the field, how corner
kicks work, what's the goal area- a fundamentals approach on
how to play the game for the U6 to U10 players.
BC
Soccer Community Coach Clinics:
- Child (12
Sep 09), Youth (19/20 Sep 09), and Senior Clinics

- The courses are free of charge to CVUSC
coaches and an excellent way to give you confidence and skills
as a coach. I can't say enough about how valuable and fun the
clinics are. In addition to theory and practical coaching
aspects, you will learn a great deal from the other coaches.
If you have young kids and you plan to coach them as they grow
older what better way to educate yourself in a fun clinic!

National B license, will run the girls program while Darrin

BC SOCCER
ENTRY LEVEL REFEREE CLINIC TO BE HOSTED BY
CVUSC
CALLING TEENS (14+) AND ADULTS TO JOIN THE
SOCCER REFEREE FAMILY
The fields will soon
be alive with the sounds of players of all ages enjoying their
fall season of soccer. Whether it be during the week with the
Senior Boys' High School schedule underway and the multitude
of community practices, or on the weekends when Saturday House
Leagues, Sunday Youth Select, VISL Men's Leagues, MIWSL
Women's or Master's games, the sport is very healthy in
the Comox Valley. With the expanded number of games, comes the
inevitable juggling act of getting officials for all games.
There probably isn't a community in the province that thinks
it has enough qualified referees. Our Valley has a dedicated
nucleus of very capable, dependable referees, but, as with
most non-university towns, we are resigned to losing many of
our bright youth officials once they are finished high school,
leaving almost no twenty-somethings in the local association.
With many adults enjoying playing beyond their 30's, even 40's
and 50's, it's not surprising that the two most representative
age ranges in the local soccer refereeing community are teens
and sexagenarians.
I'm calling on teens (14+) and
adults of all ages, who know and love the game, adults who may
even still be playing for example, to consider
registering for a BC Soccer entry level clinic, and learn
alongside some of our enthusiastic youth participants, what
enjoyment can be gained from knowing the game on a whole new
level. Please consider contributing to the game in this most
vital of roles.
Clinic Dates: Thursday, October
22nd (6:00pm - 10pm) ; Friday, October 23rd (6:00pm -
10pm)
Saturday, October 24th (9am - 5pm) � classroom and
practical on-field coverage
Clinic Location:
CVUSC Clubhouse on Lerwick (between Valley View & Isfeld
Schools)
Cost: $100 (Successful youth participants will be
refunded half the cost by Comox Valley United Soccer
Club.)

questions you might have at: 339-6256
