Glen Este High School Cheerleaders to run
concession stand on Saturdays.
(8/18/10)
The Glen Este High School
Cheerleaders will be running the
Clepper
Park concession stand for every Saturday
in the months of September and October.
We will be selling items
such as hot dogs, walking tacos, pop, Gatorade, ring
pops, and other items. Our prices will range
from $.50-$2.50. You will be able to get a
combo meal with a drink, chips, and hot dog for
$2.00. We are going to try and sell coffee and hot
chocolate on the cold mornings.
We are
running the concession stand to help the girls off
set the costs of cheerleading. Each
cheerleader has to pay anywhere from $700-$900 per
year to cheer. That helps pay for camp at Miami
University, spirit wear, cheerleading shoes, body
suits, pompoms, socks, hair bows, and competitions.
We are really hoping the soccer organization will
support the cheerleaders by buying our items.
We are trying to make the prices reasonable.
Our cheerleaders just got back from Miami University
and the Varsity and J.V. Squads both took three 1st
places and one second. They worked extremely hard
and we are very proud of them. They bring the
material back and teach to younger girls that are
hoping to try out for Jr. High or Recreational
Leagues.
We thank you for your support and
look forward to seeing you all in September.
Thanks so much,
Kelli M. Maggard and Bonnie
Kenney
Glen Este Cheerleading

Who We Are,
What We Do
Eastgate Soccer Assocation 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 (see list below for included
schools), 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!!
West
Clermont public schools:
Amelia Elementary,
Amelia Middle, Amelia High, Branter Elementary, Clough

Treatment of Referees.(Parents
read as well)
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. |

Aging Goals To Be Replaced
(8/7/10)
Eastgate Soccer
Association will be partnering with Union Township
to split the cost of new goals for the Strikers
(U12+) field and Wings (U10) fields. Eastgate Soccer
plans to replace the Passers (U8) goals next Fall.
Eastgate Soccer decided to replace the Strikers and
Wings fields first because those goals are in the
worst condition. The Association plans to replace
the goals with semi-permanent goals rather than
fixed goals to offer more practice drill
possibilities to coaches. We hope to have the goals
in place before the first game
weekend. |

1 x pair socks. The uniform now
becomes player property. So at the end of the season
the uniform is yours and can be carried across
multiple seasons.
This policy
ONLY applies
Passers (U8) through Seniors (U19).
Dribblers (U6) are exempt
and ONLY need to submit
the registration fee. A t-shirt is provided in the
Dribblers (U6) fee. Dribblers (U6) will still need
to provide their own shorts & socks.
All players still need
to provide their own soccer shoes and shin guards.
