‘I wanna say something. I’m gonna put this out there: if you like it, you can take it. If you don’t, send it right back …’ the Fremont YSC Senior teams are on the road to San Diego, to participate in the LA Galaxy San Diego, November Nights Showcase. Having left Fremont at 4.30am, I can’t help but feel like ‘I’m in a glass case of emotion!’ Surrounded by some great people, and players who we are proud to have representing Fremont YSC.

The first in what we aim to be an annual event for the Senior teams within Fremont YSC, this gives players wanting to pursue College Soccer, the opportunity to play in front of potential coaches, and to have a great social experience in what will be their final years with the club before graduation. ‘Don’t act like you’re not impressed.’

Wishing everyone at Fremont YSC, and throughout the greater soccer community, a very Happy Thanksgiving.

We at Fremont YSC are thankful for having you as part of the club, and look forward to many more holidays with you.

Taking in to consideration the current weather and forecast for continued rain, and combined with the low projected numbers of attendance due to the holiday week, we will cancel practice.

The weather conditions for a regular practice session would be fine to practice in, players are fine to practice in inclement weather. However, as a coach we consider the playing enviornment, and while the session would be adjusted so players are less static than a coached session, the low numbers would slow down a practice session and therefore players would lose engagement and be more static.

Preparing for the Winter Sessions

Players need to dress appropriately for the conditions, and in the rain a rain jacket is recommended, and at least a warm up top should be worn. In the car following the practice a change of top should be ready. Players will not get sick from being in the rain, but will if not prepared for post exercise.

As a reminder, all players also need to be in Fremont YSC attire for all practices.

During this period of division and hostility towards each others personal beliefs, it is important we take the time and remember the importance of Veterans Day, for those who lost their lives in war to allow us to live in peace, and to focus on working together to allow the peaceful time to continue in to the future.

Congratulations to Paige Pineda from our 05GB team for being named to Cal North’s Olympic Development Program (ODP) Player Pool. Paige first started playing in our recreational program at the age of 6yrs old and has since followed our Long Term Development Pathway. Paige has been part of Fremont YSC’s 05GB team since the age of 8yrs old and has continued to work hard on and off the field.

Not only is Paige an excellent team participant, Paige is also a great club member, and volunteers her time with the newest Fremont YSC players in the U4 to U6 program, and during the summer with our summer camps.

Well done Paige!
