Greetings!
   

Merry Christmas 

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  Thank you for choosing Pike Soccer Club for your child's soccer this year.  We read each member's comment survey about the Fall season.  We are working hard to improve the Spring season.  For PSC Recreation League, 2012 will offer an unprecedented amount of professionally run player training sessions (in addition to your coach's regular training sessions) as well as 30 opportunities for coach training.

Your Club needs your help.  If you would like to change a child's life, wish to donate to your employer's community campaign or need a yearend tax deduction, please consider donating to Pike Youth Soccer Club.  Your $50 donation pays for an entire season of Rec soccer for a player.  If you have appreciated stock you'd like to donate, we can take care of that too. Donate with
credit card via secure web siteMail check and pledge card

Please volunteer to coach, line a field, run the snack bar.  Indy Burn parents: each parent is expected to help fulfill your child's travel team volunteer responsibilities.  Everyone will need to help run Indy Burn Kapsalis Cup second weekend April 2012.  This tournament is a key fundraiser for the Club, providing much needed and ever increasing need for soccer tuition assistance for children from families in need.  Plus it's FUN to volunteer
.


One of the best
and most important things you can do to help make your child's soccer club better is to get your child's friends, neighbor's and school mates to register.  Please put a registration sign in your yard during January-March.  When the kids go back to school in January, help spread the good news about Pike Youth Soccer Club to your child's school mates.  There's a place for every child who wants to play.

 

Thank you!

Message from our valued sponsor:

Look for your free coupon with your pictures or at the snack bar.  Free gift, coupons, free product.  We really NEED PSC members to register with Land O' Frost lunch meats asap to show our support of this valued partner.  Land O' Frost's support reduces the cost for your child to play by $10!  


Land O' Frost lunch meats, Pike Soccer Club's Platinum sponsor, wants to make a stronger effort to better communicate and be more closely involved with Pike Soccer Club parents and the children wearing Land O' Frost jerseys. LOF will send you special savings opportunities along with promotional announcements primarily via mail.
The initial mailing will include a coupon for a free package of lunchmeat, followed by cents-off coupons throughout the year. Special offers will also include a yearly gift for each child whose parent has signed up for inclusion in this program. This special link (above) takes you to Land O' Frost and asks for your name, address, and please enter Pike Soccer Club's name.  Land O' Frost absolutely will not share this information with any other company or party.
