Dear CBAA Families and Friends,
Happy New Year and Welcome to Winter!
For some of our families, it's a time of respite. For others, they will turn to the indoor activity and others head to the mountains! CBAA Basketball has started for the Travel players, Intramural play tips off this weekend. Lacrosse & Soccer players have turned to the indoors to prepare for the Spring Season ahead or just to gather for a fun indoor league.
As we leap forward into the New Year, we welcome back our Board Members: Chair, Dale Herbst; Vice Chair, Robert Law; Treasurer, Doris Dowdy; Corresponding Secretary, Becky Barlow; Recording Secretary, Ed Beedle; Program Presidents- Manny Garcia, Basketball; Anthony Ventresca, Lacrosse. New to our board, Hung Do, we welcome as the Interim Program President of Travel Soccer.
We extend our gratitude to Bill Griffith and Greg Smyth for their time they served on our board as Soccer Program Presidents. Their time, dedication, support and volunteerism with CBAA did not go unnoticed. Our programs benefited greatly by their leadership along with the many volunteers it takes to continue the success and popularity of the soccer programs.
A HUGE thank you to all of our volunteers at CBAA! You make our programs beam with success! We are grateful to all of you! Thanks for making a difference in a child's life at CBAA!
We hope you enjoy this newsletter and the this Winter season ahead! If you are interested, our CBAA Board meetings are open to the public. We always have room for new volunteers and input!
The Central Bucks Athletic Association Board
As we continue to grow, we know how important it is to listen to our membership. If you have a suggestions or comments, please email us! |

IM Soccer boasts close to 1,400 young soccer players. Young players of all ages are out on the fields at practices and games having fun and enjoying 'The beautiful game'.
Neil has developed a 'stepping stone' program of development for the Junior Division (younger ages) based on small sided games as follows:
- u5 - parent-child program (3 v 3)
- u6 - coach based program (3 v 3)
- u7 - 4 v 4
- u8 - 5 v 5
- u10 - 7 v 7
These are the crucial and formative years. The main aim is that all the kids have fun. Two strong long term objectives are:
- Develop more skilled players in the small sided game 'environment' leading to more effective players by the time they progress to the full 11 v 11 game.
- Instill a love of the game and educate players that soccer is a 'game for life'
A REMINDER from our Director of Coaching, Neil Smart:
2012 CBAA Smart Soccer Camp
Parents please mark your calendars the 2012 Smart Soccer Camp weeks will remain at the traditional weeks of July 23-27 and August 6-10 this summer with more details to follow in a future newsletter. |

Basketball
 The CBAA B-Ball 2012 Intramural Season Tips Off this Weekend, January 6, 7 and 8. The CBAA Basketball Board encourages all family members to attend games and cheer on their players while also demonstrating good sportsmanship and encouraging all players on the court. We also ask that all in attendance respect and encourage all of our referees. In our 1st-2nd, 3rd-4th and 5th-6th grade leagues our referees are young CBAA alumni and current players who continue to be involved with our program while expanding their knowledge of the game. We wish all of our coaches and players' good luck, a safe season and that everyone remember that it's all about the players. The focus should be on learning the sport, team work and fun. Please note that all Central Buck School District Gyms are equipped with AED's (defibrillators) in case of an emergency. The locations at each school are on the CBAA website. We encourage our coaches and parents to know where they are located as it can save a life. We hope that no one ever has to use them. Ice Packs and First Aid Kits are also available at all of our games near the scorers table or lockers.
Thank you,
The CBAA Basketball Board
