Wow! What an exciting time for RYA. First off congratulations to all the Flag Football teams that recently competed in the end of season playoffs and championship series. There were many great games and lots of upsets. In one division alone the top 4 teams were all defeated in the first rounds! This is testament to those teams that continued to work hard and improve throughout the season and came on strong at the end of the season. A big thanks to those volunteers that worked so hard to make the Spring season a success, Michelle, Bill, Ali, and Bernie come to mind as I saw them every weekend from start to finish! Also, a big thanks to all the volunteer coaches that stepped up to coach the over 365 kids that played Flag Football this year. We couldn’t do it without you.
As I’m sure most of you noticed, the
turf project is well underway. The bulldozers moved in this week and began removing that wonderful old hard clay and rocks we’ve enjoyed playing on. From now on our kids will have access to lighted turf fields for practice and games! I can’t tell you how excited we are to not practice in the dark this Fall.
While many will be taking the summer off there will still be a lot going on within RYA getting ready for the upcoming Tackle season. We are participating in Taste of Reston (June 14th & 15th), and have several fund raising activities planned as well as the summer camps in July. Please check our website or contact a member of the Board for details, we always welcome volunteers to help at these events.
I hope everyone has a safe and fun summer. Please feel free to contact me or any of the RYA Board members regarding our program. I look forward to seeing everyone this Fall.
Sincerely
Bruce Belt
President RYA
