Soccer News:
Soccer rosters have been finalized and almost all ASB Soccer teams have started practicing and preparing for their first games.  If you believe that you registered for soccer last spring and have not yet been contacted by your child(ren)'s coach, please contact Dylan Pouley or one of the soccer coordinators ASAP.  

The first weekend of games for CYO Soccer will be next weekend, September 7-8 for grades 4th-8th and the following weekend, September 14, for grades K-3rd.  Game schedules will be released sometime next week. Coaches will contact their teams with their game schedules as soon as these schedules are released by CYO. 
There are two mandatory CYO Soccer Coaches meeting scheduled in the next two weeks, September 4 and September 10.  Every team must have at least one of its coaches attend one of the mandatory preseason coaches' meeting. Failure to have coach representation will result in game forfeiture (grades 5-8) and a game suspension by coach to be determined by CYO Athletics.

Welcome Back ASB Families! 
It is exciting that we are less than a week away to the start of the 2019/20 school year. For my family, it is crazy to think that our oldest daughter is entering her final year at ASB. It seems like just a few weeks ago that we started our journey in KA. With all the changes happening this year it is going to be exciting, and I am sure at times a challenging year.  I am humbled to have this opportunity to serve you on the ASB Parent Board and I look forward to working together this year.
Thanks,
Dave Cullop
ASB Parent Board President
