Eurosport prefers if orders are placed no later than June 30th. 
 
Eurosport will send sample sizes if requested by Managers.  However, they need to be paid for up front but you will credited once they are returned.
Scholarships

If you have a player who wishes to be considered for a scholarship, we must receive the application by July 15th for fall play and December 15th for spring play.  A separate application does need to be submitted for each individual season.  Applications are available on our website under  <Manager's> <Forms> or <Parents>.

Hello Thunder Managers,

We hope this periodic communication helps you navigate the waters when it comes to managing your team.  It is an important and sometimes difficult job but your efforts are truly appreciated by players, parents, and Club administration alike!!
 
If you have questions and can't find answers or don't know where to start, first check with your Age Group Coordinator (TSC AGC's) or in the Thunder Manual as they can be great resources.  If you still need additional assistance, you are always welcome to email thunderAdmin@thundersoccerclub.org and we'll be glad to help.

Fall 2010 Dues Collection

Good news - our online dues collection system is ready to go.  We are currently testing the process on a small number of teams.  As soon as any kinks are worked out, Ellie will be asking you for the list of players to whom you've made an offer.  Then, Thunder will send an email to those players requesting payment which can be processed online.  Managers should be out of the loop this time!!

However, note that if you have a player needing financial assistance, scholarship requests are due by July 15, 2010 for the fall season.  The request does need to be signed off on by the coach or manager.

Send email to Ellie if you have any questions!

Fall 2010 MSYSA Rostering / Registration

MSYSA has chosen a new online rostering/carding system which we will begin to use for the fall 2010 season.  This will be a team-based system in that parents will not access it, only administrators/managers.  The process should be much more simple than in the past and we look forward to it going live.

You will be notified with all pertinent information once we have access to the system.  Stay tuned.....

In the meantime, you can collect information and signatures on the paper MSYSA Registration form if you want to move forward with your process.  Pertinent registration forms can be found at www.msysa.org.
