THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 2004 THE NEW TANNER 15 BAGS PAIR: Dylan Creasey (centre) bagged two goals, the second in the 4" overtime minute giving major Peewee Tanners a dramatic, 5-4 comeback win against Fergus Highlanders on the weekend. - Chuck Tysoe photo- There's grass under the snow -all ready for soccer season There really is grass un- -der the snow, and if there is one thing that grass is good for then.that would be playing soccer. Acton Soccer Club is preparing for a new outdoor season, so the uniforms are on or- der, the key dates for the season are chosen, now the next step is to register some players. Acton Setcer Club runs programs for youth play- ers born 1999 or earlier. There is also a ladies' league that registers through the Club. Under- 9 and younger play as a mixed league within Ac- ton, while the older age groups are segregated into boys and girls, and play matches in other local towns. A big challenge for sports clubs is knowing how many players will register. Until this is known, the number of teams in each league is unclear. And only once this is fixed can the fields be scheduled. Another chal- lenge particular to this year is that with the housing growth in Acton, we are anticipating having to place players who register after the end of February on a waiting list. The Acton Soccer Club encourages early registra- tion by lowering prices before the season starts, but time is running out for the early-bird special price. Those who register before the end of February will save $25 per player, pay- ing a bargain $85 for under 5 and $95 for under 7 and up for a whole summer of soccer fun. Post-dated cheques are accepted, any date, to the end of Febru- ary 2004. To avoid disappointment, take ad- vantage of the Early Bird Special. The Club wants to help players to register early, and to make it more con- venient, Acton Soccer Club is delighted that Ac- ton's Time Out Sports has agreed to take registrations at the store located at 113 Mill Street East in Acton during normal business hours. At the store, they have the forms, informa- tion booklets, and a sheet of answers to frequently asked questions. There are also two last registration events at Ac- ton arena on Saturday, January 24 and Saturday, February 21 from 9 a.m. 1 p.m., where Acton Soccer Club representatives will be available to answer your questions. You can now also look up frequently asked ques- tions on our website: www.actonsoccer.org. As with many volunteer organizations, there are opportunities to gain new experiences by contribut- ing. Refereeing is an especially challenging and rewarding job, and is the only paid position in Ac- ton Soccer Club. The Club pays for training, certifica- tion, and the stylish black uniforms, and then pays for each match. Referees have to be 12 years or older (12 years can referee an Under-9match). We also need coaches, and some administrative positions are open too. Contact Ian Watson (853-3265) if you have further questions or would like to help in any way.
