CHSS Moving To
"Smaller" Side Soccer - Fall
Season 2011
Cincinnati Hills SAY Soccer
(CHSS) is pleased to announce
some important changes in the
soccer league this Fall season
that will provide a much more
robust soccer experience for
players at the passers (U-7),
wings (U-10) and strikers(U12)
playing levels.
Consistent with the trend in
youth soccer across the country,
CHSS will be moving to smaller
teams at the strikers (U12)
levels and below which will
result in more touches on the
ball while making it easier for
coaches to proactively instruct
their players given the fact
there will be fewer on the field
during game time.
The
changes are as follows:
-
Passers (U8) will move
from 7v7 to 6v6
(minimum 4 players on field)
- Wings (U10) will
move from 9v9 to 8v8
(minimum 5 players on field)
- Strikers (U12)
will move from 11v11 to 8v8
(minimum 5 players
on field)
Field sizes
will be modified slightly to
accommodate the smaller teams
but ball sizes will stay the
same.
We are confident
that our players, coaches and
spectators will enjoy this new
format.
Sincerely,
James Ferguson
President
- Cincinnati Hills SAY Soccer |

Who We Are, What We Do
Eastgate Soccer Association is a not for profit
organization that strives to promote and teach
soccer to the youth of the Eastgate Community, or to
be more exact, the youth of the West Clermont School
District. West Clermont School District, is a suburb
on the east side of Cincinnati in Ohio. We also have
many children from private and charter schools as
well as those who are being taught by an in-home
school program.
Eastgate Soccer in a proud
participator in Cincinnati Hills SAY Soccer and a
proud member of the Soccer Association for Youth
(SAY). Eastgate Soccer participates in the
Cincinnati Hills SAY Soccer recreational league.
This league includes eight recreational soccer
districts. These districts are; Deer Park, Eastgate,
Fairfax, Indian Hill, Madeira, Mariemont, Reading &
Terrace Park.
Eastgate Soccer is a
recreational soccer club serving children and teens,
from age 3 up through age 18. Children/Teens are not
required to try-out and we will teach all that wish
to learn. Recreational soccer leagues are designed
to be just that; recreational and fun. That is not
to say there is not any competition. There is plenty
of that.
Eastgate Soccer
is not
an organization centered around the team win and
will not sacrifice whatever it takes to accomplish
that team win.
Eastgate Soccer is an
organization centered around developing players to
achieve their maximum potential (and more
importantly, to just have fun).
It is our
primary goal to develop every player to the best of
their ability, both mentally and physically. It is
also our primary goal to develop a player of
outstanding character and sportsmanship. And lastly,
it is our primary goal to develop a passion for the
sport in every player.
We look forward to
seeing you on the fields!!

Parking at Clepper Park -
Police Notice
Parents, Union Township Police Department has asked
that no one park on the grass at Clepper Park.
Clepper Park has four parking lots conveniently
located around the park. Please park in one of these
designated parking areas only.
Union Township Police Department will start issuing
tickets for anyone parked in the grass. |

Treatment of Referees
Eastgate wants coaches to pay particular attention
to referees - especially young referees. Like the
players you are coaching they are also developing
and learning. A coach should
never shout at a referee or be verbally
abusive. Shouting at a young referee will cause just
as much damage, if not more, as if that coach were
shouting at their own players. It also teaches your
own players to be disrespectful and to conduct
themselves with poor sportsmanship. Your players
watch what you do and how you act. You are there
number one example on the field!
If you feel
there were any bad calls made we ask that coaches
politely and calmly address these with the referee
at the end of the game. Do not interfere with the
referee during the game on what you consider a bad
call.
If you feel the referee was biased,
unfit or incompetent we ask they you address the
issue with the referee coordinator (refereecoordinator@eastgatesoccer.org).
We ask that you introduce yourself to the
referees at the beginning of the game and ask that
you offer encouragement, thanks and appreciation at
the end of the game.
As a coach you
can also play an important role in that
young referees development by offering
constructive post-game
comments.
We do not want to hear of any more
young referees leaving the profession and even the
sport because of an abusive coach!
We also
expect parents to be as equally as respectful to
referees. Referees, especially younger ones, will
make mistakes. Cheer your kids on. Bring any issues
you have about certain calls made by referees to
your coach, not the referee. We don't want referees
being approached (ambushed) by parents. |
|
STAY SAFE - Keep your kids hydrated!
August is going to be HOT! Please make sure players
stay hydrated. I always tell parents as rule of
thumb on practice/game days players should consume
60% of body weight in ounces of water throughout the
day. Example: Kid weighs 100lbs, 60% of 100 is 60
ounces of water.
A recent interview with a
paramedic/coach at the SAY coaches clinic just held
this last week in Mariemont revealed he receives 2
calls a week regarding minors and heat related
illnesses. Many of these not because a child failed
to hydrate during practice but because that child
did not properly hydrate throughout the day prior to
practice.
Common symptoms of heat exhaustion
include weakness, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. It
is recommended that if a child is experiencing these
symptoms they rest in an air-conditioned car, any
excess clothing is removed and they are hydrated.
Failure may result in heat-stroke. Common symptoms
of heat stroke is the absence of sweating with
flushed dry skin, disorientation, confusion, strange
behavior, hallucinations and possibly even leading
to seizure or coma. Please call 911 immediately if
any of these later symptoms occur. |
