Ray Farbarik, Woodland Club President, Dies in Ski
Accident
Memorial Fund Set Up
It is with tremendous sadness that we report the passing of Ray Farbarik, one of the devoted members of the SYSA family, who was killed in a skiing accident last weekend. Ray's
involvement with Woodland Soccer Club and SYSA spans nearly 10 years as a coach and WSC board member. Ray took over as club president three years ago, and under his leadership
created a number of new programs, oversaw field logistics at Green Lake, and still managed to coach his daughter's GU11 Lemondrops team and assistant coach his other daughter's GU13
Shooting Stars team.
A Ray Farbarik Memorial Fund has been set up at his family's request. Donations will
be used to support recreational soccer within SYSA.
Click here to contribute to the Ray Farbarik Memorial
Fund.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ray's wife and two daughters in this difficult
time.

Reminder: Dogs Aren't Allowed on Soccer Fields
Most of us love dogs, but they don't belong on soccer fields. There are lots of reasons for this: damage to the field, fouling the surface, risk of infections to players,
nuisance and distration to participants. But the main reason SYSA reminds you to leave your dog at home is that both Seattle and Shoreline municipal codes prohibit dogs on playfields. Please respect the law and keep your dog off the soccer fields our kids play on. Thank
you!

Soccer Goal Safety Is Everyone's Responsibility!!!
SYSA is committed to safety. Coaches, parents, players -- please help us make our soccer fields safe places for our kids. Soccer goals should always be weighted and
anchored, both when in use and especially when not in use. Never let children play or climb on goals. Follow this link for our SYSA policy on goal safety.
