It is with great sadness to all of the HAYSA Board to inform our players that the passing of a great soccer advocate, Skip Gorman on Sunday July 4th.  Skip has been on the Mass Youth Soccer board for over a decade serving as both the Executive Vice-President and the President during his tenure. He also courageously stepped up to serve as interim Executive Director to help the organization persevere after Mass Youth lost John Burrill. Skip has been president of Holbrook Youth Soccer and of the South Shore Soccer League. He was a coach for his children’s teams and within the District Select Program and a referee assignor for the South Shore League. His volunteer hours count in the tens of thousands as his passion and love for children and soccer drove him to tirelessly find ways to help them enjoy our beautiful game. Skip always put the children’s needs first and we in the HAYSA family will greatly miss his passion and sincere devotion to our mission and to the children we all serve.  We dedicate this Fall 2010 Season to Skip and all that he has done for our program.




 

CLCIK HERE FOR FALL 2010 SIGN UP!!

Imagine that your son or daughter was officiating a soccer game. Now imagine that parents of the competing teams are yelling comments from the sidelines—affecting not only the morale of the referee but also creating a negative attitude that ‘infects’ the players, too.

This kind of behavior regularly occurs at youth sports events. Mass Youth Soccer has produced an outstanding video focusing on the issues of sideline behavior of adults, and specifically how that behavior affects referees and players. The Holbrook/Avon Soccer Club strongly encourages all parents to watch this video and learn what they can do to help create a positive experience for their children and the officials.  The video can be found on the Right Hand Side of the Main Page.


We have created new pages on the left hand side, outlining all of the Expectations that are associated with Soccer.  Please read them.
