SOCCER FAMILY
NEWSLETTER
Dear ASA Family,
Our Fall Season started last weekend on a bright and
sunny Saturday.
- U8 and older kids played their first games.
 U6 players attended the
first-ever U6 Soccer Festival.
ASA Technical
Director Bob Bigney introduced the game of soccer to more
than 250 young players and their families in four sessions
throughout the day at Kenmore Middle School. (See
photos).
U6 and U7 start their games
tomorrow. Have a fun soccer season,
Ken Bass and Steve Spangler

COLUMBUS DAY SOCCER TOURNAMENT
Come one, come all! ASA's
second annual Columbus Day Soccer Tournament for recreational
teams is fast approaching.
The Tournament will
be played on Saturday and Sunday, October 6-7.
The
Tournament gives recreational soccer players a tournament
experience similar to that of travel soccer players, with each
team assured of playing four games over two days.
- Since there are no regularly scheduled ASA soccer games
over that holiday weekend, it's the perfect opportunity for
teams to hone their skills and have fun in a festive
atmosphere.
- As an added bonus, the Tournament is co-sponsored by DC
United, which will provide each player with a free ticket to
a DC United game. Each player also gets a tournament
t-shirt.
 ASA realizes that many
Arlington families go out of town over the Columbus holiday
weekend, leaving some teams short of players and others
without coaches. Not to worry, tournament rules allow
players from multiple teams (in the same age group) to get
together and form teams just for this Tournament.
If your team is not going, check with your Club
Manager to see if there is another team that could use your
child in the Tournament. (Find your Club Manager on the
Index of ASA Soccer Clubs.)
- The Tournament will field up to 64 teams in the U8-U14
age groups, with both boys and girls divisions.
- The cost is only $12 per player -- which includes the
free DC United ticket and t-shirt.
- The team registration deadline is Wednesday evening,
September 26.
- Team coaches or managers register their teams at the Tournament Registration
Form.
The Tournament Committee can use
volunteers to help with field set-up and other tournament
issues. Join us. It's fun to help our youth soccer
community.
If you can help, please call Bob Waffle,
Tournament Coordinator, at 703-358-9448, or just email us at
familynewsletter@arlingtonsoccer.com.

SCHOOL BREAK SOCCER CAMP
October 4 & 5
 Speaking of Columbus Day, the
Thursday and Friday before that weekend are elementary school
parent-teacher conference days, with no school for the
kids.
Wondering what to do with
them?
Coach Bob Bigney, ASA's Technical Director, will
hold a two-day
mini-camp for the youngsters on October 4 and 5.
(Middle schoolers, who have the day off on Friday, can also
join for one day).
The mini-camp will run from 9:00
a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the field next to Kenmore Middle School
and Carlin Springs Elementary School. (Google Map)
The cost is $45 for both days, $25 for one day.
