Things to Consider in Planning Your Team Party

BOOK IT
Book your location early. The most popular locations fill quickly. Consider having your party on a weeknight evening following the last game.

ORDER
Order trophies and awards by mid-season.

ESTIMATE 

By mid-season, estimate the party costs per player, including trophies, gifts, party activity, food, etc. Collect a portion of the money from each player to cover any deposits required by your vendors.

COLLECT  
Determine the final cost and collect the balance due from each family for trophies, gifts, party, etc. at or before the last game. Some families may not come to the party, and it can be difficult to collect money when the season is over.

CONTINGENCY
Have a contingency plan if your party is an outdoor activity.

For 2024, player passes will not be handed out.  Every coach will need to pull up their team roster in Team Resources in PlayMetrics digitally for the referee.  Screen shots or paper printouts of the roster from GotSport are strongly recommended to avoid technical difficulties.

Those wishing to purchase Spirit Wear for their teams have two options.

First, Kombat Soccer in Rocklin stocks limited quantities of official RYSC polos in various men's and women's sizes. Click the flyer link above to see an example of the official RYSC polo. Call ahead to ensure your size is in stock.

Kombat Soccer can further customize the items to include team names, player names, and so forth. For more information, contact Traya Vayas at Kombat Soccer.

Many teams have adopted a Goal Jar as a fundraiser for the team.  When the team scores a goal during a game, the jar is passed up and down the sidelines among the spectators for donations.

Ideas for Using Goal Jar Collections

• T-shirts for the players
• Purchase team equipment
• Trophies                         
• Activity/party for the players
• Awards   
• Goody bags for the end-of-season party
  

Suggestions

• Let the players’ siblings take turns walking the sidelines for donations.
• Recommend a donation amount of 25¢ to $1 per family per goal.
• Ask for a parent volunteer to keep track of the donations and bring the jar to each game.
