Recycling
Effort Needs Your Help
Pembroke Youth Soccer is proud to
support Chris Campbell from local Boy Scout Troop 43 who is working on
an Eagle Leadership project that will introduce recycling to the PYS
complex. The project will entail setting up recycling barrels with domed
covers, the construction of frames for the barrels, and setting up a
system to empty and transport the recyclables over to the Pembroke
Recycling Center (click
to see detailed info). To complete the project, Chris will need to
raise about $900. If you are interested in donating to this effort,
donations or checks made payable to "Troop 43" can be sent to the
address below:

Upcoming Coaches Courses for PYS Coaches
Pembroke Youth Soccer has worked with Mass Youth Soccer
to bring their highly regarded coach education program to Pembroke.
These courses are designed for experienced and inexperienced coaches
alike. You will experience the United States Soccer Federation approach
to youth soccer player development that is the basis of the PYS player
development philosophy. All coaches are encouraged to take advantage of
these local opportunities to learn from the pros. These are active,
participation courses that are fun and filled with new and exciting
approaches to coaching youth soccer. PYS coaches should
register and pay on line. You may take both classes however you must
take the "G" course in order take the "F" course. PYS Coaches will be
fully reimbursed after attending the class. If you have any questions,
please email our
Coaching Education Director, Ralph Perotto.

| Player Equipment and
Safety Pembroke Youth Soccer wants to
clarify that all players are required to wear shinguards. Additionally, players are not
permitted to wear anything dangerous including metal hair clips or any jewelry including
earrings. Covering earrings with tape is not considered adequate protection. The only
exception is when jewelry is worn for medical reasons (e.g. medical alert necklace) in
which case it must be taped to the players body. These directives are part of the rules of
soccer and Pembroke Youth Soccer and its referees do not have the authority to make
exceptions. PYS will be taking steps to improve our communication of this information in
the future so parents and players can better plan their ear piercing.

Safety
Information and Field Diagram
Please park in designated areas only and obey parking
restrictions. All roads around the fields must be kept accessible to emergency vehicles.
Also, only players and coaches are permitted in the team areas. Parents and
other spectators should watch the game from outside the team area.

|
| Sideline Behavior Every year, about a third of the nations 141,000 soccer referees drop
out. This is attributed largely to the verbal abuse dished out from the sidelines by
parents and coaches. Unfortunately, Pembroke is not immune to this. For those of you who
need a reminder, the following are examples of phrases that ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE:
"Call it both ways ref"
"That ball is out"
"Offside"
"Handball"
"That's a corner kick, right ref"
Please focus your energy on cheering for the efforts of the teams and players and
not on the officials.

| Brick Fundraiser Paves
the Way for Field Improvements Paving
the way to the future is PYS's newest fundraiser to help pay for future field
improvements. We've all enjoyed playing on what are considered the best fields on the
south shore and now your donation will forever be viewed by way of pave stones. Pave
stones paid for by Pembroke families will be used to make a patio in front of the snack
bar at the Pembroke Soccer Fields. For just $70.00 you can have two lines engraved or for
just $5.00 more add a third line. Once the first 25 orders are filled, the engraving
begins and installation shortly after that. Be one of the first group of engravings and
grab a Pave Stone now to be sure your engraving is part of the patio. Print out the Brick Order Form, complete it and either mail it
to PYS P.O. Box 323 Pembroke, MA 02359 or drop it off at the snack bar.

Attitudes
Are Contagious Video Available Online
The video "Attitudes Are Contagious", produced by Mass Youth Soccer, is
now available on their website. This video focuses on the issue of sideline behavior of
adults and has received national praise. Featuring actual game footage shot during league
games and at tournaments, the video shows adults being themselves their comments,
actions and antics along the sidelines. You will hear referees talk about how the sideline
behavior of adults affect them, and the impact the comments can have on matches. More
importantly you will hear from the players themselves what they think of the
comments from the sidelines. This video has been shown many time on local cable television
and is now available to you on your home computer. Click on one of the links below to view
the video from the Mass Youth Soccer website.

begin playing almost immediately or it may need to be downloaded completely before
viewing.
