New for 2013, SAY Soccer has implemented a NATIONAL CONCUSSION POLICY.
The Griffith Soccer Club is a strong proponent of concussion prevention and are please to bring you this FREE ON-line concussion training for coaches, parents or anyone involved with youth sports.
Last Fall our Griffith Soccer Club coaches heard a compelling story from a young girl who experienced a concussion while playing soccer. Her struggle from what appeared to be a simple shake-up repeatedly brought her to tears as she told us about that day and the difficult months after. I strongly encourage all parents to also view this simple training video. Prevention, early recognition and proper response can eliminate or greatly reduce the impact from a concussion.

Heads Up: Concussion in Youth Sports is a free, online course available to coaches, parents, and others helping to keep athletes safe from concussion. It features interviews with leading experts, dynamic graphics and interactive exercises, and compelling storytelling to help you recognize a concussion and know how to respond if you think that your athlete might have a concussion.
Field day has been cancelled for March 9th and reschedule for March 16th. Due to a conflict with coaches training, we are seeking additional help from parents on that day. See your coach if you can volunteer or show up at South Park at 9:00 a.m. Setup time is greatly reduced if more volunteers help.
All head and assistant coaches are required to attend this training. We feel that making an investment in coaches is one of the best ways to benefit the players.
We were able to secure Davey Lopez, a Griffith Soccer standout who has been involved with coaching development for the past 13 years. Davey is currently the Director of Recreation for the Arizona Soccer Club and has coached and operated clinics for Wabash College and Valparaiso University. His 22 years of playing experience include time with professional indoor and outdoor teams. He holds a USSF National “C” License and a NSCAA National Coaching License. I’m sure we will all benefit from his experience and expertise.
On February 19th, the Griffith Soccer Club became the newest member of the Griffith Chamber of Commerce. During the February luncheon, the Griffith Soccer Club presented its vision and was well received by attending business owners and town government representatives.
According to Dan Perez, president of the Griffith Soccer Club,
“It only made sense. The Chamber shares a common vision which is to promote the quality of life in our community. We can sit at the table and partner with business, government and other civic organizations. Our larger goal is to continue to provide an opportunity for children to play the game of soccer and when possible enable more children to discover and learn to love the game. It’s a very exciting opportunity and we’ve already come up with ways to cross promote.”
According to their website, The chamber offers a variety of networking opportunities; by sounding a strong voice on local and regional business issues and by supporting economic development initiatives that improve the overall quality of life in our community. Our members range from business, government, education, and not for profit sectors. Any business, government entity, School Corporation, not for profit organization, or individual not actively associated with a business is welcome to join our chamber.
