YALE SOCCER SPRING 2017 / NEWS
2016 Golf Outing
From the Association Dear Friends and Alumni of Yale Soccer, It’s hard to believe another Fall season has come and gone! Thank you to everyone who came back to New Haven this past October for our Alumni Weekend & YSA Golf Outing. It was great to reconnect with fellow teammates, friends, and coaches, and we are hoping to have an even greater turnout this year. The Yale Soccer Association has much to celebrate and to be excited about. However, events are not our only roles and responsibilities. The key goal of the association is to support Yale Soccer and engage with alumni and friends of Yale Soccer and try to build meaningful relationships with the program. While the most obvious aspect of that goal is fundraising (more on that below) there are a number of other initiatives underway that help to strengthen the program. This year one of our goals is to formalize a mentoring committee, aimed at helping current players with things like job placement, interview and resume skills, and career advice. We also have committees on communications and events, and welcome new members who are interested in being engaged with Yale Soccer. If you have interest in joining a committee or get-
ting involved in any way, please e-mail Vanessa Resnick at Vanessa.resnick@gmail.com or samuelbpowers@gmail.com. The work of the Yale Soccer Association provides crucial support for Kylie, Rudy, and all of the student-athletes who comprise the excellent programs we have all come to know. The funds raised go to the most critical needs of our teams, namely travel for games and scrimmages; team equipment; and recruiting the next generation of All-Ivy and All-American players. We need your help. No gift is too small. Every dollar counts. There are multiple ways to show your support. Write a check payable to Yale University and mail it to Yale Soccer Association, P.O. Box 1844, New Haven, CT 06508-1844. Or, visit http:// giving.yale.edu to pay by credit card and be sure to select ‘Athletics’ and ‘Soccer’ from the drop down menus. And remember, all gifts to the YSA count towards your personal and class giving totals for your next reunion. Thank you for your continued support, Sam Powers ‘98 & Vanessa Resnick ‘05 Yale Soccer Association Presidents
