Hello ABK Girls Soccer Players and Parents,
Welcome you to ABK Girls Soccer 2020. Hope your year is going well.
First and foremost Happy Holidays to all of the ABK players and parents from last season and future ABKers trying out this season . I know this is a busy time for everyone but I wanted to get you all thinking about the upcoming ABK season this spring. Before you know it the girls will be getting ready for tryouts and the start of the 2020 season. Here are some important updates for all of you, so please take a moment and read through the entire message:
1)Soccer registration is now up and running on the AHS Athletic Webpage. Just go to www.ahswarriors.org and then click on the Registration button at the top of the page. Please do not opt out of allowing access to the Booster club for your email address. SO announcement will be sent by email so we need a good email address for all players and parents. The registration process is in two parts. The first part is all the information the school needs to register the student. Once that is complete, you will need to complete Part 2 which is the Booster Club registration. Both parts must be completed to register your student.
2) Winter Training will be starting soon. Below is information on the upcoming activities:
- Contact Kyra Swafford, , or Aaron Swafford, , with any questions.
- Three Teams will participate in an Indoor League through South Suburban at the Sports Dome, 6959 S Peoria St, Centennial, CO 80112J
- Jan 3: First indoor game
- Feb 28: Last indoor game
- Games are Mon, Fri after school
- Schedule: https://southsuburbansports.com/schedule/239834/dome-winter-youth-soccer-girls-high-school-upperlower-mon-fridays
- Wed: Play on turf at Arapahoe from 3:45-5 pm
- Teams will be set by the first game
- Payments are due by the first game: checks made out to ABK Booster Club $52 per player
- Waivers and log in information will be provided by the Team Leaders.
3) The Booster Club Fees will need to be paid after tryouts at the parent meeting on March 10th. We do not have the ability to collect the fees on line during the registration process.
As we did last year, instead of asking parents to go shopping for donation food items for the Warrior Invitational, the Chair persons are instead just asking for a $20 donation. The chairs will then do all the shopping for you. That way you don’t have to drag the items to the parent meeting and we are sure to get exactly what we need for the tournament.
We will be selling Spiritwear and yard signs so bring extra checks. We do not take credit cards.
4) The Booster Club is in need of volunteers. During the registration process you will be required to register for two shifts for the Warrior Invitational. We will have a Signup Genius in place for the various shifts available before registration. (A link to Signup Genius will be posted on the web page soon). If you have not signed up as of registration, you will be required to sign up for two shifts before completing the registration process. I would suggest you signup when we first notify you the Signup Genius is ready to have a better selection of jobs. All parents, no matter which team your daughter is on, will be required to volunteer.
The Varsity tournament will be held at LPSS and the JV tournament will be held at Arapahoe High School.
Important Dates to remember:
- Try outs: Begin March 2 (See a coach for more details)
- Scrimmage: Saturday March 7 (Teams and location TBD)
- Mandatory Parent Meeting: Wednesday, March 10 at 5 pm at the library/forum
- 1st Varsity Game: March 14 vs. Columbine at AHS
