Letter from U-5 Age Group Coordinator
Aloha AYSO Kaneohe Under-5 Parents, Guardians and Families,
Thank you for registering your child with the Kaneohe AYSO Region’s Under-5 (U-5) program.
There will be two short informational meetings on Monday, December 10th, and Tuesday, December 11th, 2012, 7:00 p.m. at Puohala Elementry School Cafeteria. Parents may attend on either date. The meeting agenda will include a brief overview of the AYSO U-5 Jamboree One-With-One program, a short video, an introduction of your U-5 master coaches and supporting Kaneohe AYSO board members, and the distribution of the season schedule and player uniforms.
The season will commence on Saturday, January 12, 2013 and run for six consecutive Saturdays, ending on February 16, 2013. There will be two sessions per Saturday, one for the Girls and one for the Boys. The first session for the Girls will begin at 9:00 a.m. on Jan 12, followed by the Boys session at 11:00. Each week after that will see the Girls and Boys alternate the 9:00 and 11:00 sessions with the Boys starting at 9:00 on Jan 19. All sessions will be held at Kaneohe District Park between Kahekili Hwy and the tennis courts.
Photo packages already paid for when you registered your child to play will be shot on Saturday, January 19. The Boys will have their photos taken from 8:00-9:00 a.m., with the Girls taken from 10:00-11:00 a.m. Finished photo packages will be distributed on February 9 and 16.
MANDATORY PARENT VOLUNTEER APPLICATION

As an active participant, this individual must be registered as an AYSO volunteer, and is required to complete the online AYSO Volunteer Application Form.
