Summer Pickup Soccer (entering K through 2nd grade)
The Spirit of our Summer Pickup Soccer Program is to provide a less structured, pickup game atmosphere for our youngest soccer players (i.e., currently eligible for K through 2nd grade). We believe that for this very young age group having fun, getting "touches" and simply playing will go a long way towards helping further their skill set and a love of the game. Join us this June on Wednesday evenings!

2016 Year End Highlights
Parents, Not much left to say except, thanks. Below are a few year-end highlights. As one of our past MAYSA Presidents said, "the most important highlights are possibly the things we do not calculate and do not include in any list: the value of lasting relationships, community involvement, mentoring youth and providing a positive recreational and competitive environments for the youth of the area, these things would be hard to calculate."  2016 Season Highlights: Soccer (In-House and Travel) Participation:
Partnerships (with High School and Cool Springs Fitness):
We could go on with the list, but these are the high points. P.s., I encourage any parent interested in helping MAYSA continue to provide Soccer programs (both In-House and Travel) to attend our Year-End wrap up meeting held in late November. It is a good time to meet all the folks involved in MAYSA, learn more and have any questions about MAYSA answered. Of course, like all youth organizations, MAYSA is always looking for a few folks who may like to get more involved, take on a slightly larger role and commit to helping us continue to bring soccer to the community over the next couple of years. By attending the wrap-up meeting you are not committing to anything but simply learning more about MAYSA. We'll have a date for the meeting in the near future. EmailUs@MercerSoccer.org if you are interested in attending. |
MAYSA reaches Ghana
Dr. Suzanne Maslo and Gary Proie annually head up a
team of medical professionals and volunteers, from western PA, who travel to remote areas of the world providing
humanitarian dental services. This year her team traveled to 6 villages in Ghana and provided medical and dental procedures to 883 children. Dr. Maslo likes to give the kids a small gift and the number one requested item is a soccer ball. Last year the group traveled to remote parts of Inner Mongolia in Northern China. A couple years ago Dr. Maslo asked MAYSA that she would like to take any older soccer balls no longer being used by MAYSA and give them to the children of the orphanages she visits. Most of the soccer balls we replace each year are ready for the trash, however, some balls have some life left in them. We were happy to be able to help Dr. Maslo and her team in some small way.  |

Pizza-n-Practice Thursdays!
Again this year, our friend's at Pizza Joes have partnered with MAYSA on a great deal! Thursday's can
be a bit hectic. Our family is running around after school trying to
complete homework, prepare dinner, get the kids changed and get to the
fields on time. Maybe the following will help: You
can order, through MAYSA, a Pizza Joe's 9-cut pizza with one topping
for only $9.99! All pizzas will be delivered to the fields at
approximately 5:30pm.  Further,
all proceeds go directly to MAYSA! This is potentially a win/win/win
for busy parents, MAYSA and our local Pizza Joe's! For details on how
to order your Pizza, have it delivered to the fields at 5:30PM and pay,
read below. Can I order today? Yes.
Orders will be accepted anytime before Thursday at 2:00PM. The
Pizza-n-Practice (i.e., delivery to the field for $9.99 per pizza offer) is valid only on orders
placed through MAYSA. How do I order? Email us your order at EmailUs@MercerSoccer.org.
Include your full name and a contact phone number (home or cell phone
number) which may be used to verify your order if your email is not
recognized. What can I order? This year we have five (5) possible orders:
Can I order slices? Sorry, only 9-cut pizzas can be ordered. When can I pick up my pizza? Your pizza order will be delivered to the fields, just prior to 5:30PM on Thursday and available at the Concession Stand.  How do pay? We will accept cash payments (only) at the field via our normal Concession Stand arrangement. What if I order and practice is cancelled? The pizza orders will be at Concession Stand at 5:30 even if we don't play soccer. What if I ordered, but for some reason do not make it to the fields that evening? We
know that things happen, however, we ask that you please understand
that if you email us with an order, MAYSA will have already paid for
your order before you pick it up. Thus, upon placing an order, you
accept and agree that you are responsible for the full cost of your
order. Can I cancel? A
cancellation request (via email) will be accepted only if it is
received before noon on Thursday and only after it is confirmed by
phone. Please include a contact phone number on any email request to
cancel an order. Questions and Orders: Thanks Pizza Joe's! |
