DEEP RUN NEWSLETTER Volume X, No. 3 September, 2004 www.drsva.org THUNDERHAWKS IMPRESSIVE IN THEIR RUN FOR WILLIAMSPORT SOCCER OPENING DAY-SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11TH BASKETBALL REGISTRATION DATES SET BASEBALL/SOFTBALL WRAP-UP A Message from our President – Mark Phipps The State Little League Champions from Hilltown?! What a ride our 11/12 year old Thunderhawks baseball team took the community on as they captured the District, Regional and Pennsylvania State Little League Championship! An absolute first for Deep Run! Their journey came to an end in Bristol, Connecticut during the Mid-Atlantic Championship Game against the Maryland State Champions. Although their quest to make it to the Little League World Series Tournament in Williamsport, PA, came to end, the memories the players, coaches, families, and the Deep Run community have been left with will last a lifetime! So congratulations to the Thunderhawks, a group of special young men that took us all on a magical ride! We have made improvements to our registration process that have streamlined and modernized our procedures. This should make registering your children both easier and more convenient. Online registration has grown in popularity and we would encourage those with access to the internet to give it a try! Also hours during the week have been added to give you additional options for registering. These improvements should eliminate potential problems. We’re making progress! Parking continues to be a concern at Deep Run. We had to remove several parking spots near our exit to accommodate the expansion of the soccer field to a large sided field. We have added an overflow parking lot on Callowhill Road just north of our entrance. We would ask that when parking you maximize our existing space by parking as close to the next car as safely possible. We will be hosting the DRVSA Hall of Fame Dinner on November 15th to honor individual and sponsors that have been instrumental in the success of Deep Run. It is a truly memorable evening and I would encourage you to attend. Additional details are available on our website. Hope to see you there! S M I L E!!! Picture Day – Sept 25th Bring your SMILE!!! Intramural Soccer Pictures will be taken on Saturday, September 25th. We will try to do our best to work around game schedules. Please plan to have your child in uniform with his/her completed picture envelope at Deep Run 15 minutes prior to his/her scheduled time. This will assist in moving the teams through smoothly and avoid having your child miss his/her team photo. INTRAMURAL SOCCER Opening day is September 11th with opening ceremonies beginning at 9:00am. Come meet the Pennridge High School Men’s Varsity Soccer Team on Opening Day. They will be there to support the Intramural Program as well as help them kick off the fall season. Autographs will be available after the ceremonies. Pee Wee Division 4 & 5 yr olds start at 9:00am every Saturday beginning September 11th. They play 3 v 3 with an 8-week curriculum, which ends at the end of October. Minor B Division 6 & 7 yr olds play 3 v 3 the first half of the year then 5 v 5 the 2nd half of the year. Minor A Division 8 & 9 yr olds play 5 v 5 the first half of the year then 8 v 8 the 2nd half of the year. Major B Division 10 – 12 yr olds play 8 v 8 the entire season. Major A Coed Division 13-15 yr olds play 8 v 8 the entire season. All Divisions are designed with player development in mind. The most important thing we can do for these young players is give them the tools needed to play the game at their fullest potential. Thank you to all of the coaches who help support the program and the small-sided concept. I would like to welcome Joe Wilson as the new Player Agent for the 2004 year. I would like to thank Dave Cardie & Chris Villella for their hard work and wish the girls program much success this fall. Check out the Deep Run website (www.drvsa.org) for all the division schedules and roster information for the fall season. The website also has a complete description of each division curriculum followed by the coaches. Yours in soccer, Pat Lordi, Boys Intramural Commissioner TRAVEL SOCCER NEWS!!!! The U-14 Girls with Dave Cardie as coach are planning to go to Hawaii and U-14 Boys with Coach Joe Youk are planning to travel to San Diego with their fund raising from the Labor Day and Turkey Day Tournaments. Travel Teams throughout the Tri-State are signing up for these Tournaments. These Tournaments for years have been considered the primo events for soccer by many soccer Clubs. We hear many wonderful compliments on how well organized and on how great the competition is. We are looking r forward as a Club to support both these teams on their fund raising goals for these trips. World Class Coaching Comes to Deep Run Over 70 young soccer players had the opportunity to work with a group of talented and respected coaches for 5 nights at Deep Run. The highlight of the week was a visit from George O’Neil, a former United States National Team player and English Premier League player for Glasgow Celtic in Scotland. He was joined by Sam Lee, assistant coach for the Philadelphia Kixx as well as the current coaches from Pennridge, Penn Charter, CB West and Lansdale Catholic High Schools. The All-American Striker/Keeper Camp is a fund raiser for Deep Run Valley Sports Association and has raised over $7,000 for the organization. The camp challenges our travel soccer players with some of the finer techniques of the game. The coaching staff volunteers their time and talent because they truly enjoy giving back to the game that has given them so much. Please join us in thanking them.
