We are almost there. Teams have been formed, people are training, and a few of our high school-aged teams are even practicing and having their first games. The fall season is upon us! But before we hit the field to coach, referee, cheer, and play soccer, this weekend we will take a chance to celebrate the true heart of AYSO and Region 13: our community. I hope to see each one of you at the Rose City Rollout in Victory Park on Saturday. There will be coaching, refereeing, and—of course—playing soccer there too. But, more importantly, there will be community. We will share reunions of players and families from last year, as well as introductions of new teammates and families for the season to come. Before we start this new season, let’s stop for a moment and get together to say Thank You to everyone who has worked so hard to get us to where we are today, and together we will look forward to a fantastic season to come. —Patrick Shopbell, your volunteer RC
