Zero Tolerance
The Brookline Soccer Club supports the BAYS Zero Tolerance Policy. During and after games, coaches and spectators are prohibited from speaking to referees or saying or doing anything to convey criticism of the referee's actions.
This policy is designed to foster good sportsmanship, to provide a friendly and safe environment, and to support the development of our referees, many of whom are relatively young and inexperienced.
Every BSC parent should read the policy in its entirety.
Tribute to Jeff Wulfson
The Brookline Soccer Club wishes to express our thanks, appreciation and respect to our long-time colleague and friend, Jeff Wulfson, who is stepping down from our Board at the end of the Fall, 2011 season. Jeff has served the Club since its early days, as, among other things, coach, referee, initial website creator and manager, long-time board member, and for as long as any of us can remember, Registrar and board member for both the Brookline Soccer Club and Boston Area Youth Soccer (BAYS). The volunteer task of Club Registrar alone is daunting, time-consuming and pain-staking. Adding to that, the tasks of Registrar to the 500+ team BAYS system, numerous other Club and BAYS responsibilities too numerous to specify, Jeff‘s “real” work with the State Department of Education, and Jeff‘s private role as father and husband, reflects Jeff‘s extraordinary range, and gift, to all of us—particularly since he did all of these “jobs” so efficiently and well. We will miss Jeff‘s calm under pressure, sage advice, and institutional memory, but we will always appreciate (as will the Club) the extraordinary service and friendship he gave us. In Jeff‘s honor, the Club will now refer to our scholarship program (the Club‘s practice of assisting it’s families in need by helping to pay registration fees and other Club costs) the “Jeff Wulfson Scholarship Fund.” So, thank you Jeff, for everything.

Rob Sprague’s New Training Curriculum
The Brookline Soccer Club is pleased to announce that the we now have for our coaches a curriculum that outlines all the technical and tactical topics for training sessions. It is produced by our Director of Coaching: Rob Sprague.
Basically, the curriculum is broken down into 8 Levels. Each level is associated with a specific age group or grade (i.e. U9/Third Grade). For our younger teams (U9 - U11) I think you’ll find that the Curriculum Level associated with your team’s age will be appropriate. Some of our older teams (U12 - U14) might have to work on Curriculum Levels associated with younger age groups. Rob will help coaches figure this out during the first few weeks of the season. Feel free to email or call him with your questions.
Coaches can download The Curriculum documents at Rob’s new "Coaches" blog.
