The 2010 Highlands Soccer Club Registration is now open thru February 24th at https://www.regonline.com/hsclub2010.

The uniform fee is $39 for a high quality team jersey, shorts and socks. However, a 2009 uniform can be re-used and the uniform fee waived if either:
1.) in 2009, your child was on a U-5 (ages 3 or 4) or U-7 (ages 5 or 6) team and will be in same age group this year
2.) in 2009, your child was on a U-9, U-11 or U-13 team (they all wear the same yellow/royal uniform)
And I ask that all families please consider volunteering during the registration process for one or more of the following roles:
- Coach or Assistant Coach
- Administrative Helper (e.g., event planning)
- Small Tasks Helper
If your family is experiencing particular economic hardship or know of one that is, I can waive the registration fee. What I require is that you/they make the request to me by email and also help as a volunteer during the year.
I welcome your comments or questions and truly hope you are able to join us again for the 2010 season.
Sincerely,
Umit

Dear Highlands Soccer Club Families,
This Sunday, June 14th, marks the end of our Spring season. It is also the date of our annual Ice Cream Social and Events immediately following a shortened practice. This year we will feature a relay race plus a surprise competition for coaches. All ages will finish at 4:30, and the practice will start as usual at 3:00 at Tibbetts Valley Park.
I have a few additional announcements. Note that snacks are not necessary for this Sunday. However, please do remember to provide your child with water, as usual. Also, there are quite a few lost and found items (e.g., coats, water bottles, soccer balls) that have been gathered over the last several weeks. These will be left out again by the orange medical bag near the entrance to our fields.
And I would like to mention that Gold’s Gym in Issaquah has provided our soccer club with some attractive rates for new memberships, including for families. You can view the flyer for their special offer here. They will be giving out free 14 day passes as well.
See you Sunday,
Umit Gokce
