CiTY Newsletter - June 1, 2022 |
|
Hello, CiTY Families,
For many people reading this, this is your first CiTY newsletter, as we welcome a record number of new families to the club after three weeks of tryouts and team selection for the 2022-23 travel season. Travel team tryouts finish this week with our 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004 age groups, and registration is still open. We will also hold supplemental tryouts for certain age groups in the coming weeks, so check the CiTY Tryout page for more details.
CiTY teams had a very successful Memorial Day tournament weekend, with six teams making the final in their division, and three CiTY teams emerging as champions. In addition to on-field success, CiTY players and families continue to prove why CiTY is special off the field -- not only did we hear of multiple instances of CiTY teams going to other CiTY games to show support for each other, but leadership is proud to have received feedback throughout the weekend from outside coaches, parents and directors about the classy behavior and good sportsmanship of CiTY teams. Thank you for repping the club so well!

CiTY Spring 2022 REC ended its biggest season yet last week, with more than 300 players, plus a successful rollout of our volunteer coach program and youth ref program. This growth will continue as we prepare for CiTY Fall 2022 REC, so register now (see below). We are continuing our CiTY REC Referral program after more than 50 CiTY members received credits this past spring to use towards future REC and travel fees, just for referring their friends and neighbors!
CiTY Summer Soccer Camps are filling up but some spaces remain. Read below for details and registration.
CiTY Leadership and coaches will continue to be in touch with membership and teams, but as school ends and the travel leagues and tournaments wrap up the season, we hope that everyone can take the time to rest, slow down, and enjoy summer.
The CiTY Leadership team is available and welcomes questions, comments, and feedback, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Go CiTY!

A proper warmup and cool down is just as important as practice or the workout. With a combination of Dynamic and Static stretches, it is critical to get your body going prior to competing, as well as tapering off after. Check out THESE VIDEOS on the Best Stretches and how to execute a Dynamic Warmup. Also great for your Active Recovery Days following a tournament.
