I need to have everyone that is attending the USAO camp fill out the attached USAO Medical Release form and return it to me (or Sean) tonight. It also requires that you make a copy of your medical insurance card to attach to the form, so please do that as well.
I spoke with Oscar at Soccer USA and they will not require a deposit for the White uniforms, we will just have to pay for them when we pick them up. He is going to fax me a copy of the order form and I will have them tonight for you to fill out so that we can get the uniforms ordered.
With that said, I will need to collect a check made out to "OFC 98" (Mike C., correct me if I am wrong on that) for $157.50 for team fees. It breaks down like this...
- $60 for June 2010 fees (to establish account)
- $60 for August 2009 fees (due July 20)
- $37.50 for Beat the Heat Tournament (entry fee of $525/14 players)
I know this changed a bit, but the white team only ended up with 14 players as of today instead of the 15 I had originally figured cost with.
See you all at 4:30 tonight on field 6.

Monday Training Session
Parents,
There have been some slight changes to the tryout session on Monday. The session will only be a team and parent meeting, there will not be any on field activities, so the girls do not need to dress out in uniforms. Also, the session has been changed from 4:00pm to 4:30pm.
Tomorrow night we will collect the $155 for team fees. I will call Soccer USA during the day and check to see what we have to put down on the white uniforms and may have to add that to the total. Please check your daughter’s shirt and short size so you will know what you need to order.
As many of you know my daughter, Kelsie, was selected for the Black team therefore I will hand my manager duties over to Sean Berndt, Hannah’s Dad. Also, Mike Collison, Macy’s Dad, will be team treasurer. I am sure you will all be in very good hands. I would like to thank all of the team for being such a great group of parents and kids to have shared this season with, I have really enjoyed the time we have spent sweating, celebrating, anguishing, freezing, traveling, yelling, cursing (ok, maybe that was just me), coaching (from the sideline), laughing, and generally just hanging out together. It has been a lot of fun and has made for some great memories.
Thanks,
Brian Hancock

Team Fees News
I was notified today that our first training payment (August fees) will be due on July 20th. Therefore I have to collect an additional $60 at the Tryout Camp this weekend. The total you need to pay the team is now $155 + the cost of a new uniform, that I won't know the total of until Saturday.
$60 - June 2010 training fee (to establish a bank account)
$60 - Aug. 2009 training fee (due July 20)
$35 - Beat the Heat entrance fee
$?? - Uniform Fee
And, speaking of uniforms, the vote was for us to purchase the whole white uniform (shirts, shorts, and socks). If you haven't seen it, it does look really sharp.
Thanks,
Brian Hancock

Tryouts - Uniform Vote
Tryouts are this weekend and I will have to collect some funds right away. As you know you will have to pay the registration fee of $235 at the first tryout session. You can pay the whole sum or you can break it up into two payments; $135 payable immediately and $100 payable November 1st.
We also need to decide if we want to order the white uniforms… several of the teams have decided to use this uniform. There are white shirts, white shorts, and socks. Or, we can just order shirts and wear with black shorts and socks. I will not know the cost until the day of tryouts but I imagine it will be close to what the others cost; $24 for shirt, $16 for shorts and $12 for socks. I guess we’ll put it to a vote – let me know by Thursday 5pm YES if you want to get the white uniform or NO if you don’t. Majority decides and if yes do you want the whole uniform or just the jersey. I would collect for these at tryouts
I will also need to collect the following fees at tryouts.
- $525 for the Beat the Heat Tournament = $35 per person (if 15 players on team)
- June 2010 coaching fees – this will be used to establish a team bank account.
- White uniforms – if we decide to order
total - $95 + uniform cost in addition to the registration fees.
Mike Collison has agreed to be the team treasurer and he may collect more between now and whenever Austin decides to start practice… I’ll gladly let him figure that out. ☺
I will be at ESC on Wednesday from 5:30 to 6:00pm if you would like to pick up a packet with all the forms you will need to fill out for tryouts… if you do not want to pick up a packet and would like to fill the info out at tryouts then please do not forget to bring the following.
- 2 copies of birth certificate
- 2 wallet size pictures (for player cards)
If you have any questions please let me know.

Academy Camp and Other Info
Below is an email from James Soesbee concerning Academy Camp. If you have
younger kids in Academy, or what to join Academy, then you'll want to read his

when and where a little later.
Hope everyone's summer is going well. See you all next weekend.

Frontier Country Results
Officially... we have taken 2nd place in the Frontier Country league. Congratulations to all the girls and Coach Risenhoover for a well played season.

Tryout and Next Season Infomation
Team tryouts are the following dates and times.
Saturday, 6/27 - 8:00 - 9:30am - OFC East Field 6
Saturday, 6/27 - 3:00 - 4:30pm - OFC East Field 6
Monday, 6/29 - 4:00 - 5:30pm - OFC East Field 7
(Note: Keep in mind that due to the merger ESC is now referred to as OFC East. (OFC West is NOKC)
Please bring the following items to tryouts with you:
- 2 copies of birth certificate
- 2 wallet size pictures (for player cards)
- Medical Release Form (signed)
- Code of Conduct Form (signed)
- USYSA Form (signed)
- $235.00 registration check(s) (write one check or split into two - $135.00 payable immediately and $100.00 post dated November 1st, 2009)
I will put together packets with all the forms for each of you and will arrange a date and time when you will be able to pick them up from me prior to tryouts so that you can have all the required information filled out when you show up for the tryouts.
As with last year the Medical Release forms have to be notarized, I hope to have someone available to do that for everyone instead of each of you having to find someone. I will let you know how that will be handled by the time I have packets ready for you to pick up.
There will be some other fees payable at tryouts or shortly after based on team decisions and required fees that the team has to pay. For example; tournament fees that are required immediately, a fee to build up a team account, and field fees. I am working with someone to be the team treasurer and will have more information about that once I have had an opportunity to meet with them to discuss what is required.
If you have any questions about tryouts please let me know.
A few notes from last nights managers meeting:
Coach Hampton noted that several teams are purchasing the new OFC white jersey and shorts... we will have that option too. I will ask each of you what you would like to do at tryouts. The shirts are going to be about $24, shorts $16, and socks $10. Think about it.
Coach Hampton has instructed his coaches to have tournaments picked for the fall season by the end of tryouts. I have spoke with Austin and he has several picked that do not conflict with his OU coaching schedule, but like last year it will be a team decision on how many and which ones we will play in. I can almost guarantee that we will play in Beat the Heat (Our clubs fall tourney) on August 14-16, so plan for that for sure. As for the others, more info will follow.
Coach Hampton emphasized the importance of good parent behavior at games and tournaments. Some things he pointed out; Please refrain from discussing players from either our team or our opponent while on the sidelines during a game. Never speak with a player from an opposing team during the game. Do not coach from the sideline. Always win or lose with class. Keep in mind your child is playing for the premier club in Oklahoma and our actions need to be of the highest standard possible to reflect that.
One last thing... Now is the time to be thinking about team fund raising. I think everyone from the white team will agree that it was nice to have our tourneys and a few other things paid for with our cookie dough money. If you have a suggestion for a fund raiser that we could do early in the season (saving cookie dough for Oct-Nov) please let me know.
Again, if you have any questions please contact me.

Thank You
Thanks for the gift certificate, Shannon and I will put it to good use. I hear horror stories from other managers who have to deal with unruly parents and people who don't pay there fees and I have it very easy compared to them. You are a great group to work with and I have enjoyed spending time with you and your families. Thanks for all you do to make my job easier.

FYI - Competitive Tryout Meeting
Next Thursday, 6/11, at 6pm is a competitive pre-tryout meeting to be held at the ESC North concession stand. I will be attending, however anyone is welcome to attend. If memory serves from last year, the meeting is a Q&A with Coach Hampton and others. If you have a question and are unable to attend let me know and I will ask it for you and get a response back to you.
I imagine the session will be dominated by questions about the merger and how it will affect some of the older teams. Fortunately we don't have to deal with that just yet.
As a reminder, next week is the pre-tryout camp from 8-9:30am Monday through Thursday.
Thanks,
Brian Hancock
