HaworthSoccer will be giving its soccer players

 free new water bottles, that are recycled, re-usable,

 dishwasher safe, & more quickly biodegradable.

 

This is to  keep litter off the fields, help our

 environment, use our very own very inexpensive

 clean & tested (by our own Board of Health)

 water, & save money  thrown at companies that

 are poaching the world's water supplies, sucking

water from aquifers far beyond their factories, AND

help avoid children drinking from some one else's

look-alike bottle.

 

Please magic-mark your child's name or initials.

 on their bottle when they get it,  and we hope you

will use it for all sports activities.

  & fields 2008 & 2009. Thanks to Glenn for relining the field this year,

  the school administration & board for their generosity & support.

   I am proud & happy to announce 4 new sponsors of our

Alessandros ( great for the family, great on the palette)

Haworth Minit-Mart ( for lunch, school, parties : they have it !

                                                                            THANK YOU !

                                         MAKE OUR CHILDREN'S GAMES POSSIBLE)

 

 

At the last minute, I was notified that Adidas has discontinued

  our uniform line. We have bought up every remaining item

  that we can, enough to supply new players & those who

  have simply outgrown their last year's shirt., but not

  enough for everyone, or folks that don't feel like looking for

  last year's, or those who just feel entitled to it.

 

Uniforms for preK, K, 1st-2nd grades are unaffected &

 will be new, including socks for preK & K for the 1st time.

Coaches for preK, K & 1st - 2nd grade teams will also

  get T shirts of team color & will be awfully cute.

 

So PLEASE:  FIND THOSE SNAZZY UNIFORM SHIRTS FROM LAST YEAR !

                             AND SOCKS !

 

         Next year we'll be ordering new style for everyone.

 

    Thanks in advance for your patience & cooperation.

Dr Kahn & the Haworth Soccer family.

We all owe a cheer of thanks to our generous sponsors, who by giving

  graciously to us, have helped Haworth Soccer offer more to our

  community.  I have personal experience with every sponsor, &

  recommend them all very heartily,  knowing  that  their products

  and services are  tops. So below, our friends:

 

River Palm Terrace: thanks John Campbell,  and  thanks for

  all the great food over the years.

Schaefer's Gardens: a treasure in our town

Rotonde Construction: there are  lots of good reasons he's so busy

Physical Medicine & Rehab/ Dr Pavell:  the help & care you need when you need it

Blue Moon Mexican Cafe:  spicy & refreshing, around the corner, an original sponsor

Harris Dental Care:  legend says he never lost a rec soccer game as coach

Active Foot & Ankle Care: Dr Braver saved my son's HS varsity soccer career

Bracewell & Giuliani:  thanks Haworth resident , & law partner David Alballah

Johl & Company:  thanks Dan Larsen, always feel better when you're on hand

Mi Bandera Restaurant:  a varied & spectacular menu, worth the trip, thanks Julio

Park Avenue BMW: can you find cooler cars anywhere?

 

Many thanks are due to the few, the good, the mighty, and the now worn out coach-volunteers who came out to create soccer fields this week where once there was just grass.  Charles Pialtos worked on Myrtle and Memorial for 2 days in a neat outfit from Polo, Rupert Tiefen lent his creative ways also for 2 days at both fields. Large Larry Jansson lent us the same height that helped him be athlete of the year at our high school some years ago, and for the first time I ever remember, put up both nets on large (high) goals at Memorial single-handedly. Kevin Croehn put up the goals and nets to create the small practice field at Memorial  after work late at 7pm, on his wedding anniversary, brave man, and our best wishes. And Carmine LoFaro closed his eyes, waved his arms, and made the right angles on the field in ways not seen since the ancient Romans.  Mike Devlin secured the nets at Myrtle (are you done yet?) There would be no games in town if not for the efforts of these generous and dedicated men.  We're all very lucky to have them as our friends and neighbors.

All of us at Haworth Soccer again thank Andy Anderson, Haworth resident, long time soccer fan,  and emeritus of

Haworth Soccer Association, for marking out our soccer fields and checking that they're safe and sound. We could

not have fields, and games, without Andy's engineering expertise, and the donation of his time, year after year.

Thanks !

When parents and teens go by the Haworth Public School on Valley Road, they may look up and see what has been missing for many years:  small children playing soccer games on the Haworth School field.  School funds and public grants via the guidance of town hall  enabled the artificial turf construction (certified child-safe), and Haworth Soccer has contributed  new soccer goals and  the field layout with the encouragement and help of  the new school administration,board,  and physical ed. staff.  Games for the 1st-2nd grade  girls (saturday mornings) and 1st -2nd grade boys (sunday afternoons) will be played there,  like old times, maybe a bit better.  Thanks to Anthony Volpe for his dedication in putting together  the new goals so well. Many kids will enjoy them.

Sponsorship packages are $300 for twelve months and include a banner on the website, links to your web-site, and more. More than 300 children and their families are involved in Haworth Soccer.

The website is the primary communication tool for our soccer program, which runs actively from late August to mid March, with registration via the website from spring through the summer occurring online where your ads are viewed ...almost all year around. We thank our past sponsors heartily, and hope to welcome a few more aboard.

 

All we need to get you up on the site is a business card with your web address, with or without logo, & a check made out

     to Haworth Soccer. Please  view our site:  haworthsoccer.com   and note that the ads/ banners rotate regularly.
