Thunder Uniforms

See the Uniforms page on our website where you will find the order form, instructions to Managers, our Eurosport rep's name, contact information, and general sizing guidelines.

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>.

Or, click here for a Scholarship Request Form.

Fall 2011 Dues Collection

Good news - we will continue to use our Demosphere system to collect dues. All you need to do is send Ellie a list of players who have accepted a position on your team. She will assign them to your team in the system and then send an email to the entire team requesting payment.

Payments will be monitored and Managers will be notified mid to late July if any players are still outstanding.

Note that if you have a player needing financial assistance, scholarship requests are due by July 15, 2011 for the fall season. The request does need to be signed off on by the coach or manager.

Any questions email administrator@thundersoccerclub.org.

Fall 2011 MSYSA Rostering / Registration

MSYSA will continue to use the new rostering system implemented last year. This is a team-based system in that parents will not access it, only administrators/managers. The process is fairly simple and there are instructions available under the Managers section of our website

MSYSA says users should be able to begin the rostering process for fall 2011 "around mid-July". We will keep you posted.

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.
