Dear LYS families:

It has been a very difficult time for all of us during these last few months. It has been a tremendous time of transition and change and I sincerely hope and pray that everyone is safe and that you have been able to keep your sanity given everything that is going on.  During this time of great social change I know that many of you have shown solidarity with each other and those affected most by the pandemic and protests.  This update letter also announces change and hope in the LYS community.

First, we are announcing that Frankie Gonzalez (aka Frankie Flo) will be taking over as our new director, and long time LYS member, Vince Grady (aka Spinny Vinny), will be resigning after almost 15 years of involvement with the program.  He and his family have moved to Wilmington, DE to be closer to his aging parents and he is beginning a new chapter in his home state of Delaware.  Spinny Vinny regrets not having an opportunity to say goodbye to everyone in person, and will be missed, but I am sure that he will pop in before the end of the season to check in on everyone.  
Frankie is super excited to be starting up the program after such a long break and cannot wait to see everyone.  In an effort to ensure that we do not lose our permit, we have decided to start classes this week (tomorrow), also as a way to gauge interest and participation, and we will be kicking into full gear starting next week.  In an effort to keep everyone safe, we will be following the COVID protocol that has been laid out by the parks department and the health department.  In an effort to keep everyone safe we are asking that all parties adhere to these guidelines:

1) All children/parents undergo a quick screening before beginning play (a few questions/temp check).
2) Only 1 parent attend the class per child.
3) All coaches wear face masks.
4) Children wear masks before and after class (although they can remote during drills and activities).
5) Belongings should be social distanced (6 feet).
6) No shared equipment.
7) Each kid bring their own ball if possible.
8) Soccer equipment be sanitized after each class.
9) Parents sign COVID waiver (to be given out onsite).
We are living in precarious and unprecedented times. We believe that allowing children to play, while minimizing risk, is an important step to maintaining the health of our community.  Should you have any questions or concerns please to Frankie Gonzalez at 505 603-6003 or Jacob Craycroft (646) 734-0765.

Be safe all.
​LYS (Spinny Vinny and Adriana Olivares and crew)

Dear Parents:

We are going to be commencing our winter season this weekend on Saturday Jan 7.  We are very excited to be relocating to the Earth School space (where Frankie and Coach Vince work) as PE specialists.  There has been one small change that we had to make because there was a conflict with another program that is using the same space that we are.  We are happy to have finally straightened out the problem but the times have changed for some of the age groups.  If there are any problems regarding this change (you wont be able to come, for example), please let us know and we will accomodate you in whatever way that we can.

The spring season is upon us starting Saturday April 2nd at Sara Roosevelt Park (by Wholefoods on Christie and Stanton). We had originally intended to start March 31 but one of our coaches will be away in France so we will start on Saturday. Registration is up on the website, so please check it out for times and ages. This spring we are offering classes for 6th and 7th grade for the first time. Also we will be continuing with Sunday Street soccer classes at the neighborhood school with coach Frankie. The indoor setting is perfect for young children to master the basics in a child centered setting that empowers them to develop the individual foot skills they need to be successful. All the info is on the website but if you have any questions please contact us atmailto:bigappleseeds@gmail.com.
