REC COACHES -
Thank you Thank you Thank you for agreeing to be a coach for rec soccer. We couldn't do this without you. This year MSC asks you to attend a coaches meeting to get your roster, uniforms and coaching manual. We have two nights for you to attend Thurs March 25th at 7:30 in the board room at the Middle School or March 30th same place and time. Please make every effort to attend one of these meetings.
During this time we will go over rules for each age group, hand out uniforms (balls are here as well you will get those at the first practice) expectations and schedule. We will then answer any questions.
Lisa Berry-Koeppen is the rec coordinator with Sue Anderson assisting with email and communication. Lisa's cell phone is 763-350-5233. Lisa prefers phone calls to email. Sue will typically answer the emails. In saying that most of our communication to all rec players and coaches will be through emails. Please check them before each practice and game.
We are in need of 9 more coaches for rec. Please help out so all teams have coaches.

By the way- This is our 15th year of rec soccer thanks to the O'Neils who started it all. We also have had 5 years of section champions between boys and girls. Soccer what a kick.
REC PLAYERS -
All requests for playing days have been honored. You should receive a phone call from your coach for sure after March 30, some will call sooner. Please contact Lisa at 763-350-5233 if you have not been contacted by April 3rd. Our rec teams are very full and we will put players who are signing up from now on onto a waiting list. We can only add a few more players to each age group. If we have enough players to make two more teams along with coaches than we will change the schedule to include those new teams. We must have an even number of teams.
Please make sure you have an email account where you can be reached. That will be the primary communication tool for all coaches and coordinators.
Also please check the website for weather conditions or cancellations. Emails and the website will be the primary communication. Everything that makes soccer successful is about the willingness to volunteer. We have several coaching and co-coaching needs, please give your time to help make soccer a great experience for everyone.
We are in need of 9 more coaches for rec. Please help out to make sure all teams have coaches.

Equipment: We are asking that players wear shin guards and they are placed under their socks, make sure your child dresses in layers, has appropriate shoes, brings water and their ball. Our jerseys are from Challenger this year and it is possible that you can order matching shorts and socks. Look for that soon.

With the Jamboree being cancelled last Fall due to weather we know some have not yet picked them up.
The Monticello Soccer Club (MSC) was established in the spring of 1995 by a group of parents interested in providing boys and girls with the opportunity to play soccer. MSC is a non-profit organization dedicated to developing sportsmanship, teamwork, discipline and physical skills through soccer. A major goal of the club’s recreational league program is to provide all kids with the opportunity to play soccer at a fun and recreational level. Participation in MSC's programs has grown from 260 participants in 1995 to over 700 in 2009; this includes our recreational and traveling leagues. There are bylaws and a Board to direct and manage club activities. All staff are hardworking volunteers and all fees go directly toward club activities.
Modifications: Small-sided game modifications are made for the recreational program. The size of the playing field, players per side, size of ball and the goal is reduced in size to match the size of the players. Small-sided games are favored for the following reasons:
