Parents and Players,
As the new President of the Dothan Youth Soccer
Association I am honored to be a part of DYSA and would like to
welcome you to our website and share what is happing in our
organization.
The board members that have proceeded me have left
me with a very sound organization to work with and I thank them for
that. My goal is to build on their efforts anyway possible to grow
interest in soccer throughout the wiregrass. Since my induction in
January 2005 I have strived to implement several improvements.
The Micro-soccer program was revamped
in Spring 2005, even though it had it’s ups and downs, like most
programs do in their first try, it was a great success. The players had
fun and walked away with some quality training and experience. The
parents and volunteers are the key to that program, the volunteer time
and support they provide can not be duplicated and will help inspire the
interest for soccer through each player.
A new program implemented in the Spring 2005 was
the Junior Alliance Clinic. The clinic was designed and
administered by Craig Smith, DYSA Director of Coaching. It is designed
to develop ball skills and basic/intermediate soccer techniques for age
7-10.
My main goal is to increase the participation in
our Premier Soccer program; this program develops the
players at a higher level than any other program in the wiregrass. The
coaches are selected and educated to give the maximum amount of training
to ensure success. The Premier Soccer program has elevated several
players to the college ranks on scholarship.
Please browse the rest of the site and feel free to
contact me via e-mail at
webmaster@dysa.net for any concerns, questions, or information.
Thank You
Rich Thorne
DYSA President
