 Please see the Fall 2007 Field Layout if you're unsure where to go for your team's soccer games. The graphic is of Liberty Park, and you can view a Google Map to get your bearings. Please show up on time and enjoy the games...and remember, they're for the KIDS, not the parents!

Spring season preparation time is here!
1. PRE-SEASON INVENTORY
We're looking for some volunteers to do a pre-season inventory of the items in the shed. This is important so we know if we're short on anything for Spring...pinnies, cones, etc.
Please contact Dusty Dutcher if you can meet on Saturday @ 2:00pm at the storage shed in back of Mercy Medical Center. Here is a map where we'll meet.
2. REQUEST FOR COACHES
There are some coaching spots available for some teams. We are in the process of identifying our coaching needs, but if you'd like to be notified when we have more info, please fill out this form.
3. FIELD SETUP ON MARCH 15
If you can help with field setup, please contact Dusty Dutcher.
Please keep an eye on the website and our calendar there for details on upcoming events!
Thanks for your involvement in Nampa KIDS!

On behalf of the board, I would like to thank every family that voted
in our Fall officer elections, in addition to everyone who contributes
to this league to make it work and make it better. This includes my
fellow board members, coordinators, coaches, referees, team parents, and other volunteers who contribute their time,
expertise, and enthusiasm for the sake of our KIDS. The league could
not function without a great deal of personal commitment on the part
of everyone.
David Trussell has chosen to remove his name from consideration, given
the fact that Bob Shultz was willing to put his name on the ballot
again for another term.
Bob Shultz will remain President of Nampa KID Soccer going into the
2008 season, as will Jean Barney as Registrar, and myself as Secretary.
Stay tuned for more opportunities to serve our KIDS next season!
God bless,
Kevin Harper
Secretary
P.s. - Thanks also to those who provided feedback to the board on how the league can be improved. All suggestions are given serious consideration as we plan for Spring 2008.

It is time to provide feedback to the league to help us overcome our weaknesses and build on our strengths!
We extend a formal invitation to the league to participate in our
end-of-season wrap-up meeting this Thursday November 1st at Skyview
High School's cafeteria from 7:00 to 8:30.
This is an opportunity for coaches to return their equipment bags if
they don't want to hold onto them during the winter-off season. It is
also an opportunity for everyone in the organization to give the Board
input on things that were successful during the season and areas where
we can improve.
We plan to invite all our vendors and all our families to participate in this open, constructive forum.
It is through your feedback and comments that our leagues strengths
and weaknesses can be identified and heard. Your support in this
endeavor is a stepping stone to our leagues success.
Your feed back can also be emailed to

Sincerely,
Nampa Kids Soccer Board
P.s. - Communication is key to making our volunteer-run organization
work. Help us improve the flow of information by signing up for one of
our new newsletters: Parents, Coaches, or Referees.

Parents, please support our wonderful volunteer coaches and assistants by making sure your child's team has a "Team Parent". If you would like more information about this job, please contact our volunteer coordinator.
Team Parent Responsibilities
- Before your child's game, please pick up your team's packet at the communication booth.
- Pass out the paperwork to the parents and give the coaches their paperwork. This is a great way to get to know the other parents on the team!
- After the game, please return the referee comment card to the communication booth (after the coach fills it out).
- Remind parents about their picture day.
- Remind parents about their snack day.
- Make sure there is someone scheduled for snack and a drink after each game for the team.
- Talk to the coaches about a party to end the season.
- Confirm the date, time and location. Let everyone know what it is in writing...including the coaches. It can be as simple as meeting at a restaurant during the last practice. (Make sure your coaches can be there!)
- Arrange a "Thank you!" for your coaches. Usually it is presented at the party. It can be as simple as a card signed by everyone. It is also okay to suggest a gift idea to the other parents and request small donations toward a common gift. (Ideas: gift certificate for dinner, plaque or trophy, framed photo someone took during the season).
