Town Directors and New Coaches Meetings

31 Aug 2010

Danvers Polish Club
12 Cheever Street
Danvers, MA 01923

Check-in 7:00 - 7:30 PM
Meetings start - 7:30 PM

Similar to prior seasons, ECYSA will conduct a meeting for NEW coaches to ECYSA on August 31, at the Danvers Polish Club. This meeting will take place in the main function hall of the Polish Club (main entrance). Coaches should plan to check in between 7:00 – 7:30 PM (we will have Spring Handbooks for coaches to review) and the meeting will start promptly at 7:30. While this meeting is voluntary, it is strongly recommend for NEW coaches, those without any prior coaching experience in ECYSA, to attend. The meeting is a great opportunity for new coaches to become familiar with the operating procedures of the league and ask questions. Over the years, we have found that this meeting has great benefit to help coaches to understand their requirements in coaching within ECYSA.

The Danvers Polish Club is located at 12 Cheever Street, Danvers, 01923. Directions can be obtained from the ECYSA web site (ww.ecysa2.org), MAP section under the Danvers page. Parking is limited, so car pooling is highly recommended.
