SYSA Legend Mike Ryan Passes Away at 77
Mike Ryan was one of the original founders of organized youth soccer in Seattle and the state of Washington. He was the first
president of Washington Youth Soccer, a University of Washington men's soccer coach, a US Women's National Team coach, as well as coaching youth players in Seattle at numerous high
schools, most recently at Nathan Hale. Mike influenced many soccer luminaries in the Seattle area. One of Mike's lasting legacies will be on display in December, when SYSA presents
the boys and girls U12 trophies to the City Tournament champions. Mike's name is engraved on both trophies, and he was always present at the Tournament to present the trophy to the
winning teams. His eloquence and sense of humor, his obvious enjoyment in seeing young kids playing soccer, and his enthusiasm for the game will be sorely missed. Thank you Mike for
all you've done for youth soccer in Seattle!

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.
