US YOUTH SOCCER RESOURCES - TRUESPORT | |
|
We are all busy, and most of us are trying to keep up on the hamster wheel we all seem to be on. We wake up every morning and we do it all again. It is difficult to think beyond our own families, much less our own soccer club! But, through affiliation with Wyoming Soccer, and therefore US Youth Soccer (USYS), there are many, many resources to make it easier.
One of those resources is USYS' partner, TrueSport. They have been a partner for a couple years, and we want to remind you who they are and what they do. Among many initiatives, the partnership provides USYS members (mening YOU) with powerful educational tools to equip young athletes with the resources to build life skills and core values for success on and off the field. With TrueSport® content, USYS offers innumerable resources to coaches, parents and players to ensure they have the tools they need to build positive youth sports experiences,” said Skip Gilbert, CEO US Youth Soccer. “Sometimes we forget that sport doesn’t just mold us to become great athletes, it creates the foundation of who we are in the classroom, the office and at home.”
You can tap into the vast resources of TrueSport® and focus on the true essence of sport – integrity, respect, teamwork, courage, and responsibility. "Truesport’s duty is to empower parents, coaches, and educators with education that will help those in their care to become better people on and off the field of play ” said Dr. Jennifer Royer, Senior Director of TrueSport® and Awareness. “Through our partnership with US Youth Soccer and their strong and engaged community, we are thrilled to help work with them to shape the future not only of sport, but to produce leaders who will someday positively influence society as a whole.”
As Wyoming Soccer continues to encourage our members to reflect the highest levels of sportsmanship and integrity, we invite you to explore and learn more about TrueSport.

OVERCOMING THE REFEREE SHORTAGE | |

Wyoming Soccer is working hard to gain more referees, and the best way to do that is to host referee clinics.

We also have incentives for those who return. Contact Roger Brown to learn how you can benefit.

AUGUST - TEVIN RYSELL / SEPTEMBER - AIRABELLA AGUIRRE | | |
You may have noticed we did not put a newsletter out over the past couple months, so October's Player Spotlight will be featured next month along with November's player. | |
 | |
Cheyenne Soccer Club player, Tevin Rysell, was in the spotlight for the month of August (there was no newsletter in August or September).
Tevin started playing soccer when he was 4 and has loved it ever since. He is now in his ninth year of soccer, and he loves being challenged in the sport and takes every opportunity to get out there and play. He is currently a midfielder.
Soccer is his main sport, but Tevin is a multi-sport athlete. He is currently playing football for his school, and he enjoys basketball and golf, as well. When he’s not playing sports, he is active with his church youth group.
Hobbies he enjoys include building model cars, as well as home construction / remodeling projects, which he started helping with at a fairly young age. He also really loves fishing (competing with his brothers on catching the largest fish every time) and getting out on the paddle board.
Tevin has a great sense of humor and loves to keep us laughing. He works hard in school and always sees ways to improve in whatever he’s working on.
Tevin's coach, Daniel Benford, says, "Tevin has stepped up in recent weeks into a leadership role on our team. He has been a steady presence in practice and in games, giving everything he has both individually and as a teammate."

Cheyenne TOPSoccer player Airabella Aguirre was in the spotlight for the month of September. October's player will be featured along with November's player next month.
Airabella will soon turn 7 years old and she is already in love with soccer after two years playing with a group she knows from physical therapy. She plays whichever game they are playing in the group, and works hard to do her best with her assigned buddy.
She loves everything about school and especially loves learning about the weather and natural events. She is really into unicorns, coloring and playing with her paper dolls. She also loves anything pink!
Airabella has a a reputation for being kind and is a friend to everyone she meets. She also has interest in music and loves to sing. She also has a special knack for remembering songs.
Airabella has already overcome so much in her short life, and continues to have an amazing and brave disposition regardless of what is going on and all her appointments.
"Airabella is an amazing player. She comes to training every day with such a great attitude and huge smile. On top of that, she always has suggestions of games that she loves to play. She is just such an overall great kiddo", says Airabella's coach, Chuck Grenfell.
