Happy Friday

CAYA Parents,

I hope this post finds you all doing well.  Several bits of information below that are important for us all to read.  We are really excited about the 2013-2014 season.

Parent Information

I urge you to read the document entitled CAYA Parent Information.  On the CAYA blog homepage it is on the right hand side.  Please read this document closely.   There is some very helpful information in this document and it was created to help you learn more about the CAYA program.

Team Manager

Now that we have our teams formed for the coming fall seasons I'd like to ask if we can get team managers in place for our teams.  Each team will need a team manager.  Essentially a team manager helps with communicating things to their respective team.  The role is an important one as we always need help with communication in addition to the emails that we send and of course the posts on the CAYA blog. 

If you are interested in volunteering to be a team manager please contact asap:

Boys Teams Mark Jonas @ mark.jonas@caslnc.com

Girls Teams  Andy Truex @ andy.truex@caslnc.com

Registration

Each player in the CAYA Program must register.  This link will posted by Friday of next week.  Once this link goes live we will ask that families register asap.  It will be as simple as clicking on the link and completing the registration process.  Reminder- You will need to register again in the spring.  I will post on the blog when the link is live. 

Communication

We will do our best to keep the lines of communication open so that you are all aware of what is going on and what the plan is with training, games etc.  Please understand there are over 300 players in our progam this coming year which of course is very exciting.  If you ever have a question please don't hesitate to contact us.
