Hello SYSA community!
On this day of giving thanks, we wanted to take the opportunity to express the overwhelming gratitude that we have for every member of our SYSA community. This community is SO MUCH MORE than soccer - this community connects us all and brings us back to the things that really matter: the people around us and the joy of the beautiful game. Whether you are a player, a referee, a coach, a parent, a volunteer, a sponsor, or a supporter in any way, we are extremely grateful because each and every one of you plays a crucial role in helping us cultivate this wonderful soccer community that we have all built together throughout the Seattle and Shoreline area.
Not only are we grateful today, but we are grateful every time we step on that field because the game of soccer does not happen without the contributions of everyone. Just as we must always be grateful for our opponents (because we can't play a match without someone to go up against), we are always grateful for each individual member in our community and are very conscious of the value you provide to the whole.
For our volunteers: parents & players - we ask that you help us in recognizing and expressing gratitude to those volunteers that made fall soccer possible for you this year. To our volunteers specifically, the time and energy that you freely gave allowed over 10,000 players to play soccer this season. Whether you were coaching, helping with administrative work, a member of a board, managing a team, or organizing any of the many moving parts, we are extremely appreciative of this gift that you have given to SYSA players and their families.
Happy Thanksgiving to each and every one of you! We are grateful for the opportunity to serve this wonderful community and continue our mission of spreading the joy of soccer throughout the Seattle area.
The SYSA Executive Director and Staff
