Greetings!   
 

"I can show you That when it starts to rain Everything's the same." (Do you know who sang this in 1966 and where?) (Hint: where it rains more than here!)

 

Difficult to believe only two more U4-U12 Rec game Saturdays! We will have some penny candy at the snack bar on the 29th if the kids want to "trick and treat" after their game. Probably best if your child is dressed up like a soccer player. Lol

All: pick up a free PSC-Indy Burn window sticker at the snack bar.

Good luck to PSC Rec Plus teams in the season end tournament.

Indy Burn U9-U14 travel teams still have a month of league and tournament games!
 

Tryouts this weekend for Indy Burn u15-u19 travel teams for 11/1/11-June, 2012, "season."

Twenty year PSC coach and Board Member Max Hudspeth is head coach of the Covenant Christian HS varsity girls team playing in the state championship semi states Saturday! Lots of PSC-Indy Burn players on the team. Good luck girls! Also Avon HS boys in semi states with lots of PSC players. Good luck boys!
  


If your employer campaign is underway, please consider donating to PSC by simply writing "Pike Youth Soccer Club" on your pledge card to help PSC Tuition Assistance Fund for families in need or field care. 

 

PYSC's Annual Meeting is November 14th and you're invited to attend, to volunteer on a Board Committee or run for election to the Board.  Expect to hear from PSC Nominating Committee via email.  Volunteers are needed to run the "Rec" program, especially during games.  If you speak both English and Spanish, we need you to help welcome our Spanish language only families during games.  Sign up on line for a fun hour of service to the community before your child's game.  It's fast, easy and fun: http://www.pikeyouthsoccerclub.org/volunteer.html


Thanks to PSC Community Recreation sponsor Land O' Frost.  Have you registered for free lunch meat from PSC's premier sponsor, Land 'O Frost??  We need every parent to register (see below) to get a coupon for free product at local supermarket.  It's very important that you register so our sponsor hears from us.  Land 'O Frost sponsorship reduces cost for your child to play PSC.

 

Follow PSC on Twitter and Facebook and tell your Twitter and Facebook friends.  The number of visits to PSC pages has skyrocketed this season.  If you'd like to help post news, please volunteer by sending an email to Thomas Geisse.
