Fwd: Emailing: DSL Coach Contact Info – F23.pdf

Apologies for multiple emails, I should have known better to say “final” when referencing a contact list.  A couple more revisions were brought to my attention and the attached reflects that.  Please use the attached contact list going forward.

Final DSL Coach Contact Info and DSL Tournament Registration

All:

A couple of things as we head into week 2:
1. Attached is what I believe to be the final coach contacts list which reflects a few more additions and revisions that I received.  Please use this list going forward.
2. DSL Fall Tournament – Registration for the Fall 23 Developmental (Grades 1-4) and all Girls (JV/V) Tournament will open Thursday, September 14th.  I am asking each soccer coordinator to let me know how many teams and at what bracket that they are registering.   This Fall's Tournament will be Saturday October 28 at No Off Season Sports in Russellton.   Registration will remain open until Friday, October 13th and then it will close.  We will take registrations for the following brackets, 5v5 1st grade, 5v5 2nd grade,  5v5 1/2 grade, 7v7 3rd grade, 7v7 4th grade, 7v7 3/4 grade, 5v5 JV All Girls, 5v5 Varsity All girls.  Cost for entry is $125 per team.  As always, if we fill up (and we tend to fill up at the younger age levels), preference is given to those schools that register first.  After October 13th, any registrations are considered late and may not be allowed if scheduling is already complete.  Here is a link for the rules for the tournament

Fwd: DSL – PDF’s of Schedule and Contact List

All:

I understand that some of you are having difficulty accessing the Excel format of the Schedules and Contact Lists that have been previously circulated.  To that end, I have attached both of those documents in pdf format that should print fine to 8.5×11 paper.  Please note that with respect to the schedule, the attached reflects the games as scheduled when I last circulated the schedules and it does not reflect any reschedules that you may have arragned.  The intent of this document is not to supersede any changes that you have already agreed upon, please feel free to revise the attached as needed to to reflect any such changes that have been made.  Also, with respect to the contact informration that sheet is still dynamic and will be changing once I get the previously referenced missing team's coaches information

Fwd: Final Fall Schedule- Fall 23.xls

All:

 

Thank you for your schedule corrections, attached please find a final schedule for the Fall 23 season that you can share with your parents and players.  From this point forward, any schedule changes must be coordinated amongst the two teams playing and must follow the following procedure:

 

If a venue change occurs then you must notify the away coach and let me know.  For games that involve our PIAA referees our referee coordinator must be made aware of the change as well so that he can verify referee coverage.

 

If the change involves a date or time change then the following procedure must be followed:

 

JV/Varsity matches – Coaches need to agree on a mutual date and time for a reschedule, home and away status should not change, unless the home team is unable to find a date that works for them and they agree to play away.  Once that date/time/venue is agreed upon an email needs to be sent to me at dslcommissioner@gmail.com and to Chuck Pruss at kpruss2000@yahoo.com and Chuck and I need to sign off on the changes

 

Developmental matches – Coaches need to agree on a mutual date and time for a reschedule, home and away status should not change, unless the home team is unable to find a date that works for them and they agree to play away.  Once that date/time/venue is agreed upon an email needs to be sent to me at dslcommissioner@gmail.com If our referee coordinator is providing refs to the game then to Chuck Pruss at kpruss2000@yahoo.com so he can verify referee coverage. 

 

All changes should be made with a minimum of three hours’ notice and much more whenever possible.  Changes that involve our PIAA referees (all JV/V games and certain developmental games) should be made with 48 hours’ notice.  If less than 48 hours’ notice is provided then Chuck should be called on his cell phone as well.  Failure to follow those procedures may result in game forfeitures and/or the need to pay referees for their time even if no game has been played.  If all of these methods fail, don’t hesitate to call me personally. 

 

I am working on coach contact tabs next and will have those out well before the start of the season. That document will have all coach emails and phone numbers as well as my and the referee coordinator’s email and phone numbers. 

 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Regards,

Rob

DSL – League Schedules

Good evening, I know that the league timeline notes that game schedules will be delivered on August 28.  We had a little luck this season and are in a position to send them out earlier than expected.  To that end, please find the schedules for our league (first grade through Varsity) in the attached spreadsheet.  

For those that have coached before in the league, the format should be familiar.  There is a tab for each of the following brackets:
  • first grade
  • second grade
  • first/second grade
  • third grade
  • fourth grade
  • third/fourth grade
  • 7v7 (also noted as MLS)
  • 11v11 (also noted as Premier League)
Home teams are listed first and are in blue, away teams are listed second and are in yellow (and in one case, green).  Home game days, times and locations are listed for each school and if you are the away team refer to the hosting teams information rows for those details
I do note that some of this information is in flux and hosting teams may reach out to visiting teams to update details.  Also, home teams must remember to include me on emails that update game information, and with respect to JV/Varsity matches and developmental matches that PIAA refs are utilized, they must include our referee coordinator, Chuck Pruss, who is cc'd here.  Home Teams, please communicate issues as they are discovered with ample time and consideration provided to all involved.  Away teams please be understanding and as flexible as you can when home teams reach out

DSL League Meeting

Good Evening:

I have attached a draft closing agenda for Thursday's 7:30pm league meeting. It is not necessary for everyone to join on the call, but all are welcome, and it is highly recommended that each school has a representative on the call.  I'm always happy to answer questions throughout the season, but attendance at this meeting will probably proactively answer the majority of questions that arise throughout the season.
Below is a zoom meeting link, I'll endeavor to make things go quickly and there will be time at the end of the meeting to ask any other questions that you may have.
Also, as a reminder, League registration fees were due on August 1.  If you have not sent yours in yet, please do so immediately.  
Regards,

DSL – Game Time/Day/Registration information needed.

All:
Thank you for your registration forms received to date.  In order to keep us on track for schedule distribution I need anyone who has not sent in a registration form to do so by end of day Friday, August 4.  At this time I need the game day/times completed for all times as well as any scheduling requests (filed location and coaches names and contact info can follow in a week or two if needed).  If that information is still in flux, give me your best guess.  If I do not receive this info by end of day Friday I will assume that your most recent previous season information continues to be accurate and that you have no scheduling requests and it will be up to you to reach out individually to schools to reschedule as needed .  Thanks for your understanding and all of your efforts to date.  I will start the laboring process of scheduling this weekend based on the information provided.
