Hi everyone,
With the help of XXXXX, I am so excited to be coaching your children for the 2026 soccer season!
Our first practice is XXXX and practices will continue every XXX on Field XXX at Austin Park (map attached).
Our first game will be on Saturday, Sept 12, at XXX on Field XXX. The full schedule is attached. Each game consists of four XX-minute quarters and lasts about an hour, including breaks. Shin pads are required for safety, and cleats are recommended.
We will be using the Game Changer app to share practice and game times, updates, and track RSVP's for games. Please download the app and accept my team's invitation once it is sent.
We would love to meet with all of the parents briefly before our first practice, just to go over a few things and answer any questions you may have. It should only take a few minutes. Afterward, feel free to stick around and observe or come back at XXX (we will run practice approximately 60min) for pick-up!
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions between now and then or at any time this season. Please reply to this email to ensure that I have your correct email addresses and that you have received the information.
I'm looking forward to seeing you all XXX
Best, XXX
