TEYSA is once again pleased to announce it will be running its annual Professional Training Academy for Grade 2/U8 players this winter to continue the development of TEYSA soccer players and players hoping to play Travel soccer for TEYSA next season in its U9 travel program. TEYSA has designed this program for those players and parents who are planning on trying out to play Travel Soccer next season. The program will run on Saturday mornings for 8 weeks with the highly experienced professional coaches for the period January 11th - March 1st 2014.

PROGRAM DETAILS:
Age: (U8) Grade 2 Boys & Girls
Dates: 1/11 - 1/18 - 1/25 - 2/1 - 2/8 - 2/15 - 2/22 - 3/1
Time: 11am-12:30pm
Venue: Suburban Sports Training Centre, 1030 Conshohocken Road, Conshohocken, Pa
Field Type: Indoor Turf Field
Cost: $250 per Player

The program is not co-ed. The boys and girls sessions will run concurrently. Registration will open on Friday, November 22. Due to space being limited we are accepting placements and on a first come first serve basis. If you are advised that the registration is closed after trying to register, please send an e-mail to TEYSA's registrar regteysa@comcast.net to have your name put on a waiting list. If there is sufficient interest, we may be able to open another session at a different time (and possibly a different day). However, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

TEYSA will hold a parent information night in early December for those who may have any questions about this program and travel soccer generally. We will announce the date, time and location for that meeting soon. Register for the program.

At the EDP Cup, the U15 boys went 3W - 0L - 1T and won the championship over Warrington in PKs. They started with a strong 3-1 win over Downtown United followed by a 0-0 battle with Carlisle on Saturday afternoon. After defeating FC CASA River Plate 1-0 in the morning, the team moved on to the championship game vs. Warrington. Tied 1-1 at the end of regulation, our boys converted 3 of 4 PKs while Aaron Schwartz made 3 saves. As Joan will attest, Aaron was unbelievably good this weekend - undoubtedly, the weekend's most outstanding player in our bracket. We ended the post-high school fall season with a record of 6W - 0L - 1T. 15GF, 4GA.

TEYSA and FC Europa are pleased to announce it has secured exclusive access to indoor training space during the next three years for our 500+ travel and FC Europa players and our Winter U8 Development Academy. TEYSA's Executive Board believes that securing this valuable resource will enable us to enhance our programs for the continued development of our players. Under the arrangement, TEYSA has exclusive access to the Suburban Sports Training Center in Conshohocken from November through April during each of the 2013-2014, 2014-2015 and 2015-2016 seasons at the following times:

November & December: Monday - Friday from 5pm-9:30pm;
January & February: Monday - Friday from 5pm-9:30pm; Saturday from 8am-2pm; and Sunday from 12pm-4pm;
March & April: Monday - Friday from 5pm-9:30pm.

The training center, located at 1030-38 Conshohocken Road, Conshohocken, PA, is a wonderful 16,000 square foot, climate controlled, modern facility that offers two 115' x 56' turf fields. Both fields are completely enclosed and safe to all spectators, who have full field vision. The facility offers a lounge area with sofas, full perimeter seating, concessions, complimentary WIFI and ample parking. It is also very easy to enter and exit the parking lot and the facility is accessible from Ridge Pike, 476, 202 and Main Street in Conshohocken. The approximate travel times from King of Prussia mall is approximately 10-15 minutes, depending upon the time of day (obviously travel during rush hour will take a little longer). Once the Elm Street bridge opens (expected later this month), there will be an additional route to take.

We believe that TEYSA/FC EUROPA is unique in having exclusive and consistent long-term access to a single indoor facility during the hours of highest demand and are very excited about the opportunities it presents for us and our players.
