ASC - Thank you for a great Memorial Day weekend!

Hello ASC Community,

On behalf of the ASC Board of Directors, I would like to thank everyone for volunteering this weekend and making this years tournament a huge success.  We hosted 258 teams this weekend with minimal problems.  We are receiving many compliments on our staff and tournament and what a great time teams had.  This is our clubs biggest fund raiser and we could not have done it without all of you.   Thank you to you all!

Congratulations to our BU15 team for winning their division and all ASC teams for playing well and showing great sportsmanship throughout the weekend.

*** Club Year end party will be on June 10th from 5-8pm at Upper Wilkins Field. ***
*** More information to follow. ***

ASC BU11 Memorial Day Tournament - WRAP-UP

Team:

Just wanted to send a note to let everyone know what a great job we thought the team did this tournament.  With only one practice in the last two weeks, it was great to see the boys put their skills into action.  Whether it was showing up on time ready to play, moving the ball on the field, or putting the ball in the back of the net, the boys showed a great improvement from the beginning of the season.  It was great to finish the tournament with a decisive win and with just a few chances going our way, I believe we could have easily had another game in the win column.

We hope every enjoyed the tournament and the boys performance.  We want to thanks the parents for their support and getting the boys to the games on time.  Have a great memorial day and we will see everyone at practice on Tuesday. Thanks.

ASC - Amherst Police Department

Parents and Players,

Please read below as a reminder not only to the parents but players as well.

Dear ASC Families,

Unfortunately we recently had a very physical game with a very weak referee.  This happens, and is an opportunity for us to show our maturity and self control.  ASC has always been about player development and love of the game, and most importantly we are a program where kids can learn life's lessons through sport.  We are about character!  That said, we have parents who need to consider their own behavior, the impact it has on their children, the reflection it has on their team, and the reputation it creates for our club.  The game that prompted this message ended up with one parent screaming at the ref (this is not a parent's role, let the coach deal with it – nor does it help) such that the board was notified.  And worse yet, another parent tried to intimidate the opposing coach after the game.  The coach was impacted enough to reach out to the Amherst Police because the team will be back in town for the tourney, and again the board was notified.

We want everyone to enjoy watching their children play, and hope that we can all show character when situations are less than our expectations.  Our club has a great reputation and we do not want the bad behavior of a few individuals creating a negative image for the club as a whole.  Please take this to heart, and talk to each other about verbal and physical actions, before it gets out of hand.  Relax, and enjoy a great weekend of soccer.

Respectfully,

ASC Board

Re: ASC BU11 Memorial Tournament Schedule

Team:

One of the U11 Boys teams pulled out of the tournament yesterday.  This resulted in some schedule changes.  The result for us is that we will not be playing 4 games but 3 games like all the rest of the teams in the tournament.  Our schedule remains that same except the 8:00am game on Sunday has been cancelled.

Our  NEW game schedule is:

Saturday, 5/28 @ 1:00pm vs. Windham SC at L. Wilkins field
Saturday, 5/28 @ 4:45pm vs. ORYA at MCAA fields
Sunday,  5/29  @ 1:00pm vs. Merrimack SC at Cemetery field

Playoffs (if we win our group) are:

Monday, 5/30 @   8:00am  Semi-finals
Monday, 5/30 @ 10:30am  Finals

It is possible, but unlikely, that there might be further schedule changes.  Please plan on checking you email for updates late Friday night or first thing Saturday morning.
