Fwd: DSL Schedules and Contact info

Attached please find a final schedule for the Fall 24' DSL Soccer season.  There are several changes throughout that should have been conveyed to affected parties via email, but regardless, please disregard the earlier draft schedule and refer to this one for all games.  Subject to any changes that the teams, ref coordinator and I sign off on, this is the final schedule.
At this time the schedule can be shared with your players.  Please note that any changes to this schedule will need to follow our protocol for reschedules (See previous email for that protocol).  I will not send further revised schedules going forward, but schools are free to reschedule as needed, subject to our protocols and with sign off from me and the Referee Coordinator (if PIAA refs are being used).
Also attached is the most current contact list.  Please review and let me know of any changes or corrections.  As you can see, we are still missing some information.  If any correspondence is required to be exchanged before that information is updated, please reach out to the school's soccer coordinator (also indicated on the contact list).  I am still missing information for the below 4 schools and will plan on recirculating this list one last time the week of August 26th when hopefully all such information will be completed:
  • Blessed Seelos – names and contact info for the 3 first grade coaches
  • Blessed Trinity – email and cell phone for Melissa Seaman, the 1/2 coach and name and contact info for the 3/4 coach
  • Holy Cross – name and contact info for the second grade coach
  • St. Kilian – cell number for Bryan Ross, the third grade coach
Finally, Soccer Coordinators please verify with your coaches that everyone that needs to is receiving my emails.  If there are additional emails that I need to add to my distribution list, please send them my way and I will update the list.
Regards,
Rob Glentzer

Fwd: DSL – Schedules and Coach’s contact info

Good evening, 

Please see below and attached for information relating to the DSL Fall 24' Soccer Season:

Schedules:

For those that have coached before in the league, the format of the Schedules should be familiar.   I've attached both in Excel and pdf formats  In both documents, there is a tab for each of the following brackets:

  • First Grade
  • Second Grade
  • First/Second Grade
  • Third Grade
  • Fourth Grade
  • Third/Fourth Grade
  • USL (bottom 7's bracket)
  • MLS (top 7's bracket)
  • Premier (11's bracket)

Home teams are listed first and are in blue, Away teams are listed second and are in yellow – if something doesn't look right let me know, it may be a typo or I should be able to explain it.    For those that are new to coaching and are having trouble understanding the schedule, check with your coordinator, AD or a seasoned coach and they should be able to explain it.  If you still can't make sense of it, reach out to me and I can walk you through it.  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, unless the cell for your game contains a different time or location, then refer to that specific time/location.  Generally speaking, each JV/V team plays 8 games and each developmental team plays 7.  In developmental brackets that have an odd amount of teams, one randomly selecting team has an 8th game to make sure that all teams get at least 7 because of, well, math.

The attached schedule reflects our best efforts to accommodate all of the requests.  If something changed from the date that you submitted your registration or I was not able to accommodate the request that you made, you will need to reach out to the opposing team to coordinate a new game time, please include me on those emails.    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 Fall 24′ Kickoff Meeting

All:
For this evening's 7:30 pm call it would be helpful if each school had at least one representative dial in so that they can report back to the other coaches from that school.  It would also make sense for new coaches to also dial in as we will be going over various logistics of the fall season, which the veteran coaches know pretty well, but that can be a little overwhelming for the new coaches at first.

DSL Fall 2024 Meeting Agenda.docx

Good Afternoon:
A couple of quick items for this week:
1. Kick Off Meeting – I'll be hosting a kickoff call this Thursday, August 8th, at 7:30 pm.  During this call we will cover the items set forth in the attached agenda as well as answer any other questions that you may have.  I will forward a dial in/link on Wednesday that can be used to access the virtual meeting room.
2. This Weekend, Friday through Sunday, is our DSL Weekend at Dicks Sporting Goods, see below and attached for more information.
While soccer registrations are still ongoing through the end of July, I wanted to send to you a Dick's Sporting Goods Coupon Code for our DSL weekend which will take place Friday, August 9th through Sunday August 11th, at select DSG locations.  The coupon is good for 20% of your order, can be used multiple times, can be used for non-soccer gear and soccer gear and can be used by anyone who needs it (no need to be a participant in our league).  Below are more details, including a link and an image of the coupon.

Obviously, I am hoping for a BIG turnout. Remember the 20% off is on most items NOT just Soccer.  Few exclusions such as Ping, Titleist, Callaway, TaylorMade, Nike Golf, Yeti, and Ugg.

 

Great time to buy those “Back to School” T’s and Shorts from NIKE, UA, and Adidas at 20% off.

 

In addition, if the store is out of an item or size but we carry the item online………the family can simply order the item online in-store that day….and still receive the 20% off discount.

DSL Fall Registration Email

Good morning,
I hope you are all enjoying the summer months and that you are able to get some well earned rest.  In looking at our calendar, registration for the fall 24' season will open up this Monday and will remain open until August 1.  Between Monday and August 1, I will need each school's soccer coordinator or athletic director to do the following:
  • Complete the attached registration form for your school's requested teams and email it to me.  I need all of the information in the attached registration completed, including number of teams, home game dates, home game times, any school/diocese conflicts that I need to take into consideration while scheduling, names of coaches and contact information for them (email and phone), and any new individuals to add to the email distribution list.
  • Check made out to the Diocese of Pittsburgh and sent to me (116 Wickerham Drive, Mars PA 16046) for registration fees.  The registration fee is $125 per team.
It is extremely important to have registrations in by August 1.  Failure to do so will jeopardize both the targeted schedule distribution date of 8/26 as well as your ability to register teams for the fall season.  Let me know if you have any questions or concerns and keep me in the loop if you anticipate any issues and I can work with you on how to best resolve any such issues.  I'll be travelling during the first half of July but will be back by mid-month and can answer any questions that you may have as availability permits.
Also, if you are receiving this email and you are no longer coaching or coordinating and wish to be removed from the distribution list, please let me know and I'll update my contact list.
Finally, in addition to the registration form, I have attached the fall timeline as well.
Thanks and I am looking forward to dusting off the cleats in August and picking up where we left off this past spring.
Rob
