To
all Coaches, Parents
and Supporters of
Rapid City Youth
Soccer League;
The Board of
Directors of RCYSL
has looked at the
different areas in
which we want to
improve the game of
soccer for our most
important customers:
our children. We
discussed many
topics ranging from
training to t-shirts
to coaching to
concessions and
pretty much
everything in
between. The
outcome was that we
really need your
help.
With over 2,000 kids
involved in our
soccer program, we
need your support to
make this the best
soccer experience
possible. And so,
we are asking for
your help.... not
full time, not even
part-time. Below is
a list of the
immediate areas we
wish to begin, with
an estimate of the
time that will be
involved. Please
let us know where
you can help out,
most require only a
few hours each
season.
When you have
determined the area
that you would find
most enjoyable,
would you please
send an email to
info@rcysl.com
or leave detailed
information on the
soccer message line
at 341-3846. We
would like about 5
persons working on
each topic.
Your kids will
appreciate your
help!
