Dear Parents, Coaches, Fans of the Game, and other Volunteers,

Happy Holidays!

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since I stepped into my position as President of SISAY and what a year it has been. I'm extremely proud of all the work that was done at the district level this year. I hope that we've laid the foundation this season to move forward and working on player development both on and off the field.

Some great things happened this season and were shared by coaches and parents throughout the league: Parents celebrated their child's first goal, and their first shutout in net. A young man with cerebal palsy scored a goal at the end of the Boys Kickers championship game. A player with Autism was cheered on by his teammates and the competition as he took a breakaway goal and burried it into the back of the net during a Boys Strikers game. As coaches, parents, and volunteers, isn't that why we give to this program? We celebrate our love of the game while, supporting eachother's differences. It is that sense of community that makes this program great!

As we put a close on the 2015 season, I want to say thank you one more time to everyone that volunteered their time to solidify the foundation of the program. You will see a lot of changes in the coming months and I look forward to being a part of it.

As we approach 2016 we are looking forward to a new season and a new look to SISAY! We've rebuilt the website, and we are building on top of a foundation of the game we and our kids love.

New things for SISAY in 2016: (that we know so far)

* Spring Recreational Soccer

* Boys and Girls Tournament Travel Play at multiple levels (Academy Teams) * 2016 SISAY Summer Camp/Clinics for Players and Coaches with UK International Soccer

* New Referee Training

* New Coaches Training both Online and On Field Training Sessions with SAY Soccer National Office and UK International Soccer

* New Partnerships with new charities and local organizations to give back to our community

Thank you for checking out our website and I look forward to another fun year of soccer in South-Eastern Indiana.
