How to find the YHS Soccer Game Schedule

by

To determine the practice and game schedule for YHS Soccer, several important links are listed below:

  • Practice Schedule and Messaging: Parents and Players should download the Team App on a mobile device and request access to YHS sport of choice. A coach will provide you with access.  A schedule of practices is kept updated on the Boosters site under events for Boys Soccer. Always check with coaches first if you are confused about the schedule.
  • Game Schedules are maintained by the school system at: Yorktown High School Calendar of Events (yorktownsports.org). As times may change, follow the direct link or check with your coach.
  • YHS Boosters Events will be posted here.

YHS Boosters Family Night Notes

SoccerBall2s

Thanks to the committee and coaches for kicking off the season with a successful Booster’s Night. Here are Michelle Lusk’s Top Six takeaways from the event.

  1. NOTES FROM VIRTUAL BOOSTER MEETING —  Thank you Jason Gropper for taking notes and to the entire Steering Committee (listed below) for all their hard work.  Individual contact emails for those on the Booster Steering Committee are at the end of this email and in the notes.
  2. DUES and WARM UP DRI-FITS DISTRO TODAY — We are doing great on dues. It would be terrific to have 100 percent participation (see attached flyer for ways to submit payment or get assistance). We are distributing the white warm up Dri-Fit shirts provided to EVERY player by the boosters TODAY so they can wear them when they warm up at their games on Tuesday.  Liz Talotta (Thank you for ordering and organizing this effort.) will be at the girls practice and Michelle Lusk (me) will be at the boys practice. 
  3. HOME GAME STREAMING — Thank you to Angie Gary (overall organizer and primary Girls game streamer) and Christine Schofield (Assistant Organizer and streamer) for organizing game sign up and training.  Also, thank you for the great response to help with this.  All questions/interest should be directed to Angie Gary at awalkergary@gmail.com.  FOR ALL YOU FANS, HOME games will be streamed starting tomorrow.  You can access it by going to our website at yhsboosters.org and going to the YHS Streaming tab at the top.  You can also access it by going to youtube and searching YHS Boosters where the streamed games are maintained for access even after the game has ended.
  4. ALL SENIORS (Boys and Girls) — Meet at the front of the school tomorrow, Tuesday, April 27th at 5:30pm for your Senior headshots/masked group photo with our professional photographer (Keely Owendoff, Soccer Booster Parent).  Senior nights are fast approaching (Boys on May 20th and Girls on May 27th) so we are moving quickly on all our efforts to honor Seniors.  Wear your full uniform and bring a mask.  Once done, Girls can get on the bus for the away game and boys can head to the field for warmups. 
  5. BOYS SOCKS — can be purchased from Beth Mahan at bethmahan@verizon.net  (Boys Varsity) and Christine Schofield at cschofield92@gmail.com (Boys JV) for $12 a pair.
  6. POP UP SALE HUGE SUCCESS — Thank you for your support, to all the individuals who helped work it, and to Annalena for managing all the money!  Electronic payments are still coming in, but I know we made over 1k.  

 
 
 Have a great week and GO PATRIOTS SOCCER!!!!!! Michelle Gibson Lusk

YHS Boosters LiveStream

by

YHSBoosters is working in coordination with Yorktown Sports to bring everyone LiveStreaming for the Fall and Spring Sports this year. Rather than coordinate a LiveStream link each week, we recommend you simply subscribe to our YouTube Channel and then you can navigate to the LiveStream for each game, which will be organized under a Playlist for each Sport. Our current plan is to LiveStream ALL home games for both Football and Field Hockey, so don’t forget to send this info to player grandparents, relatives and friends!

Now over to YouTube!

Message from the Coaches

by

Team-

Arlington Public Schools will be closed Monday March 16th until Tuesday April 14th. All afternoon activities have been cancelled so no practice today or over the weekend.

Auburn High School from NY will no longer be traveling down to us during Spring Break.

Madeira has made the decision to move to virtual learning from 3/16-5/4 which means they are cancelling all their games. We will not be playing them on April 14th.

More updates will become available for the remainder of our season but there will be no coached team functions until we return after Spring Break.

The Coaching staff will put together a 1 month work out program for every JV/VAR player to work on their own.

Please avoid crowded areas, wash your hands, and stay healthy with your families during this time.

We will see each other again soon, chin up!

We’re Working to secure a State of the Art Scoreboard and Sound System – Challenge Edition!!

by

I'm ready to support my Team now - Take me to the Donations!

OK Team Yorktown – We need to raise $134K to upgrade our aging scoreboard and sound system.  You’ll see below that this is a significant upgrade for our student athletes.  We’re officially challenging all Patriots (current and alums), parents, and friends to help us cross the goal line!

 

And we’re going to have a little competition….

 

Each field sport is challenging the others to see who can raise the most for the new Scoreboard.

 

Don’t play a field sport?  We still need your help – so support your friends by donating to their team’s challenge!

 

Winning team will receive a donut party, player by player recognition at half-time on the field and on the big board at a Varsity home football game, and an unlimited pizza, ice cream and pool party!

 

Parents:  You’re the key to our students’ success and this scoreboard will offer some awesome capabilities to enhance our programs – We’ll be able to recognize our individual athletes during games and at key events like Senior Night.  We’ll be able to show live game footage in the stadium!  This isn’t an upgrade to our current board – it’s a revolution!

 

See the Demo Below – Sound On and we recommend Full Screen!

Join the
YHS Field Sports Teams'
Stadium Enhancement Effort

Be a part of our united movement to take our School Spirit to the next level with a new scoreboard!

The field sports of YHS (Field Hockey, Football, Lacrosse, and Soccer) have united in a fundraising campaign to replace our aging stadium scoreboard and sound system with a state of the art fully digital LED scoreboard. The new screen will enable us to:

Customize the screen for the particular sport being played on the field

Generate school spirit and enhance the fan experience with messages projected during the games

Recognize accomplishments of our sports teams including the two recent titles of our Girls Soccer VA State Champions (2017 and 2019)

Recognize individual athletes during celebrations such as Senior Night

Thank Sponsors who support YHS athletics, and our fan community

Improve the Sound Experience for all of our attendees

Show your YHS Field Sports Team Spirit and Support Our Effort by making a tax deductible donation to reach our $67,000 goal!
