5/3/12
Greetings!
We've already had many USAi travel teams win tournaments and many are doing exceptionally well in league play. Many families are already eagerly anticipating tryouts. We included more information about tryouts and frequently asked questions below.
President Steve Moore and Vice President Don Moran have already seen improvements in Quality, Efficiency, and Effectiveness in our Club training and operations. Even though this was expected, it is good that after only 30 days, it is becoming real.
USAi is committed to delivering the best value (combination of price and quality) it can. Each travel team will compete at the highest skill level and will have a terrific coach.
This afternoon we are putting the finishing touches on the expected number of teams for 2012-2013 with an anticipated coaching assignment. Very soon we will publish it on the website and send you a link for your review. Of course, which teams are actually formed and the final coach assignment is completely subject to results at tryouts.
As travel parents, we understand the coach is critical to our children having a fun and learning soccer experience. Each coach will do a great job. We also understand the competitive level of the team is important to many families. Each team will play at the highest appropriate level. There are also some families that may opt out of a Premier team to better fit their soccer into the family's available time and financial resources.
Thank you for playing USAi. Be sure to help spread the good news about tryouts to your friends and school mates. However, be careful not to actively recruit players who play for a different travel club until June 1st. On June 1st invite them to come join you.

PS
As questions are posed, the answers are posted on the new website here: http://unitedsoccerallianceindiana.org/
Some of the great questions so far include:
|
|
How will Travel Tryouts be run?
|
In order to form the most competitive teams we can with the talent selected, all players in an age group will tryout together. Coaches will select players based on ability. USAi will form as many teams as necessary to accommodate every skilled player. USAi is able to create more teams competing at the highest level, with the best caliber coaches.
|
|
Where will my travel team practice?
| |
Most age groups will have 3 or more teams and there will be a team that trains at your local complex. Once each team's roster is complete and based upon several criteria, including space, the coach's preference, and a zip code study of the families, the team's training sessions will be scheduled based on the best match. It may be possible that premier teams could train one day at the Avon Soccer Complex or Brownsburg Soccer Complex and another day at Mary & John Geisse Soccer Complex or Northwestway Park.
|
|
Where are the USAi Soccer Complexes and how far away are they?
| | It's only 4 miles from Avon Complex to Brownsburg Complex, 10 miles from Brownsburg Complex to Mary & John Geisse Soccer Complex, and 3 miles from MJGSC to Northwestway Park. The longest distance, between Avon Complex and Northwestway Park, is 15 miles. |
|
Where will our home games be played?
| | USAi will utilize all 4 soccer complexes for game. |
|
Where may I find tryout information?
| Tryout information is posted http://unitedsoccerallianceindiana.org/travel/tryouts
|
|
Will I play on the same team?
| |
Many players will continue on the same team.
|
|
Will I have the same coach?
| |
Many coaches will continue with the team and some coaches will be reassigned to maximize the benefit of their individual skill and talent. It is entirely possible that most of a team will stay together with the same coach. Coaching assignments will soon be posted.
|
|
Is each team going to be competitive?
| Yes, each USAi travel team will be placed at the highest competitive level possible and there may be multiple premier teams playing in MRL and ISL Premier leagues in the same age group and sex. Due to the new collective talented players available, we expect several teams playing at even higher levels than they were before the Alliance.
|
|
How many teams will there be in each age group?
| |
The number of teams in each age group and sex depends upon the number of players that attend tryouts. USAi Travel is likely to form 4 or 5 teams in certain age groups.
|
|
What will my team be named?
| |
All teams will be named USAi Year Sex, Stars or Eagles.
For example if there are four teams in the age/sex:
USAi '99 Boys Stars Navy
USAi '99 Boys Stars White
USAi '99 Boys Eagles Navy
USAi '99 Boys Eagles White
|
|
What color jerseys will we wear?
| |
USAi Travel is a new travel club with a new name, new logo, and new custom uniforms. Each player will wear customized adidas brand uniforms. USAi's primary colors are Navy, White, and Red. The style is still being decided upon.
|
|
Do I need to buy a new uniform?
| |
Yes, each player will purchase a new uniform for the 2012-2013 soccer year. The uniform style will last 3 or 4 years bringing the cost for uniforms to about $30 per year.
|
|
What is the cost to play?
| |
Club tuition fees will be published before Tryouts. It is expected that the basic USAi Travel tuition will be very similar to the Spring 2012 cost.
