WE NEED SOCCER COACHES!!!

TO COACH OR ASSIST PLEASE CALL NOW 208-4307 OR EMAIL AT gregg@ycyla.org

Soccer Coaches are NEEDED now more than ever! We held our coaches meeting on Thursday and had only a few coaches showed up. The lowest turnout in 10 years! We NEED COACHES! If you are a parent, friend, former coach or player then you are an ideal candidate as a coach. Our community's youth soccer experience is dependent on volunteer coaches. We need anyone willing to reap the joys of coaching our youth to volunteer their time for only a few hours a week. Your support is vital to our league's success and our energetic and excited youth playing soccer are relying on YOU! With over 150 signed up and only 50 having coaches we need you! We have 8 coaches and need 16 coaches more! We can help you get started coaching by providing you with personal instruction (like sharing practices with other experienced coaches), literature, and training. Soccer is a simple sport with no complex rules. It's VERY EASY to coach soccer. If not the easiest of all the organized sports! Please call NOW!!! WE WILL MAKE IT AS EASY AS WE CAN FOR YOU TO COACH!

At the coaches meeting we only had one U8 coach with at least 7 more coaches. Only three U6 coaches showed up with at least 5 more needed! Only one U10 coach showed up with at least 5 more needed! And for the first time in years we have enough U14 signups to form a team. We also need a U14 coach for them. Only the U12's had enough coaches.

Practices start this week and we have kids that have to wait for someone to step up and make the most important commitment of all, to our kids before they can start enjoying the world's most popular sport. Take the lead and make this an enjoyable season for all by calling Gregg at 208-4307 or email him at gregg@ycyla.org.

Since our U6, U8 and U10 age groups need coaches then most of your kids will be impatiently waiting for an adult to make this most important commitment. Just ask yourself, "Why wouldn't I want to help? What is holding me back?" We need your help, NOW!!! Don't hesitate! You will not regret the joy of helping our community's youth and watching them grow together on and off the field. There is no greater reward than helping one another!

TO COACH OR ASSIST PLEASE CALL NOW 208-4307 OR EMAIL AT gregg@ycyla.org!

2008 Registration has opened for the 2nd Annual Monster Dash 5K. The event will take place Saturday, October 25th at 9:00 am. This challenging trail run will traverse through Eliada's historic and wooded campus, which will be decorated in a Halloween theme especially for the event. Runners will pass through the 'haunted orchard', an old cemetery, and along the spooky trail before crossing the spider web finish line. Runners are encouraged to wear family-friendly costumes. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 male and female age category winners and the top 3 winners overall, as well as for best costume.

The Monster Dash 5K qualifies as an Asheville Track Club Grand Prix race. Registration is $20 and includes chip timing, snacks & beverages, and a t-shirt for the first 100 registrants. The event will also include a free 1-mile fun run, registration for which will be on-site the day of the race.

Runners and volunteers are still needed to help make the event successful. Registration and more information is available online at www.eliada.org/race, or by contacting Kelley Corwin at 254.5356 x 156 or kcorwin@eliada.org. All proceeds benefit the children and families served by Eliada.

Later in the day, the course will become the "Trick or Treat Trail". Sponsors of the 5K will be on hand to pass out candy to invited children's groups along the wooded trail. Face painting and other children's activities will also be available. Scouting organizations, youth groups, or other children's organizations who are interested in learning more should contact Kelley Corwin at 254.5356 x 156 for information.
