The Copa del Sol will be held Saturday, October 10, at FLC.
For those unfamiliar with Copa, it is a fast-moving 4v4 tournament played with "different" rules. DYSA's policy for Copa is that this is an event where we don't want "coaches". The kids play and manage themselves. One adult "chaperone" is assigned to each team just to make sure things go smoothly, but other than that it is a players event! Team coaches (Jimmy, Rachel) typically roam amongst their players' Copa teams to show their support. Chaperones will be identified soon.
Here is a link to more information on the Copa: http://www.durangosoccer.com/sites/default/files/2008%20Copa%20Rules.pdf
Teams like to get together ahead of time (with help from parents) and design unique, crazy t-shirts. (You can flip old t-shirts inside-out.) The coaches for the Blaze and the Strykers will cooperate and talk to the girls together about the Copa, and then run a practice with the 4v4 format prior to the tournament. The teams will need to come up with names quickly so Steph Ribera can submit this information to DYSA.
If you would like to volunteer to be a chaperone or would like more information on the Copa, please let Steph Ribera know. She can be reached at steph@ribera.us or 749-9474. Also, Steph can tell you what the team assignments are....
