Spring 2023 Updates
----------------------------- sent on 5/8/2023 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WSC Coaches and Parents (cc Westside Soccer board) –
I know that most of you are perfectly fine at Rec soccer games this spring, but there have been a few significant behavioral issues this season with coaches and parents, so please read the message below as a reminder.
Coaches are required to oversee the behavior of them self, players, and parents/guest attending all league games. Bad behavior reflects on you, your team, your club, and the league. Please remember to stay calm and think before you speak/act.
The other team you will be playing is not the enemy or someone to hate. The other team is just kids out to enjoy the game of soccer. Remember to have fun and enjoy the time. Work with the other coach to make the time on the field enjoyable for all.
Remember the blowout rule is 5 goals difference in score. It is no fun when the score is run up. Coach winning by 5 or more goals is "required" to pull back. The two coaches should work together. Suggestions to handle this are:
- Moving the best players out of goal scoring positions (do this first, especially for G5 and up)
- Adding a player to the team that is down
- Mixing up the teams (a good choice for the youngest teams)
Treat the Referees with respect. We need the referees to keep the game going. They are going to make mistakes. Most of referees will be only a couple a years older than kids on the field. If you mistreat the referee and they leave the game, we have lost this referee and have to try to replace them. Learning to be a good referee takes time. When you are talking to these youth referees, I want you to treat as if they were your own child. Be understanding. If there is a real issue, the coach should contact the club. The league referee scheduler will work with the referee to improve their game.
You may not have Referees at all your games. We have lots of games to staff and not get them all filled. Anyone 13 years old and older can become a referee. (http://oregonreferee.com). It’s a great way for teenagers to earn money.
If you are not happy with the ways things are run, then please step and get involved. We are always looking for new volunteers for our club.
Finally, please have fun with the kids. Enjoy your time. Keeping the smiles on the kids’ faces throughout the whole season is your main job and having the kids come back next spring or fall is a sign of your success.
Thank you. -- Karl Meyer, WSC president

WSC families --
Welcome to our Spring 2023 soccer season. Below is much of the information that you need, so please read carefully. If you still have questions, contact our office at westsidesoccerinfo@gmail.co
Volunteer needs
WSC is an all volunteer run organization. We are in need of several volunteers to help keep the club running. If you have some time to help kids play soccer in our community, please contact me. We are in need of Age Group Coordinators and people for our board of directors.
Teams
Teams have been formed and all teams are now available to be viewed on the Demosphere app. I strongly encourage everyone to load the Demosphere app on their phone. You must have the app to see any messages that are posted by your coach or other parents on the team.
Coaches should be contacting all families shortly if they have not already. There are a few teams that still do not have a coach and we are working to identify coaches as quickly as possible. If you have not heard from your coach by March 20 you can send an email to westsidesoccerinfo@gmail.co
Practice Schedule
Practices begin the week of Monday April 3, field conditions permitting. Your head coach will notify you about your team's practice schedule.
Game Schedule
Games start on Saturday April 8, field conditions permitting. The G2-G8 game schedule will be posted on the THJSL website (Tualatin Hills Junior Soccer League | Home) about 1-2 weeks prior to the start of games . Your head coach will notify you about your game schedule.
The micro (K and 1st grade) schedule will be posted on the Micro page of the Westside Web site.
Uniforms
Kindergarten and 1st grade: Players will get their uniform (jersey and socks) directly from their coach.
Grade 2 through Grade 8: Uniform is the Westside kit that can be purchased at Tursi's. Westside Rec – Tursi Soccer Store (tursissoccer.com) It's OK to re-use G2-HS uniforms from previous seasons.
If you need to purchase a new uniform from Tursi's, it is recommended to go to the store and purchase in person. On line orders may not be shipped in a timely manner.
If you have any soccer gear that your kids have outgrown, please donate it to Westside soccer for use by families in need. You can donate gear at the Westside soccer office, at Tursi's when you're buying new stuff, or by contacting me at president@westsidesoccerclu
COVID policy
We will continue to follow the COVID procedures of the Beaverton School District. See our website at www.westsidesoccerclub.com
Behavior at Games
We expect all players, parents and coaches to conduct themselves in the best manner possible. Please use only positive and encouraging comments when at the games.
Westside Soccer Club does not tolerate any form of physical abuse, sexual abuse, bullying or harassment. Any such issues will result in disciplinary action.
There is currently a shortage of referees. We must treat the referees with respect at all times. We cannot afford to lose referees because they are being yelled at by coaches or parents. If you are interested in becoming a referee, please go to www.oregonreferee.com to find classes.
That’s all for now. Have a great season.
Karl Meyer, WSC president

Debe tener la aplicación para ver los mensajes publicados por su entrenador u otros padres en el equipo.
Los entrenadores deben comunicarse con todas las familias en breve, si aún no lo han hecho.

Si no has tenido noticias de tu entrenador antes del 20 de marzo, puedes enviar un correo electrónico a westsidesoccerinfo@gmail.com

Westside Soccer Club no tolera ninguna forma de abuso físico, abuso sexual, intimidación o acoso. Cualquier problema de este tipo dará lugar a medidas disciplinarias.
Actualmente hay escasez de árbitros. Debemos tratar a los árbitros con respeto en todo momento. No podemos permitirnos perder árbitros porque están siendo gritados por entrenadores o padres. Si está interesado en convertirse en árbitro, vaya a www.oregonreferee.com para encontrar clases.
Eso es todo por ahora. Que tengas una gran temporada.
