Summer Update #1 - 2011

All Players need to have all paperwork and administrative items taken care off and handed in before the first practice. DO NOT DELAY ON THIS STUFF GET IT DONE NOW

1) If you have not done so please apply for admissions at the college asap. See www.wwcc.wy.edu/admissions/registra.htm this takes about 10 - 15 minutes.

2) If you have not done so please apply for housing on campus. See www.wwcc.wy.edu/housing/ and please inform them that you are a member of the men's soccer team there should be rooms reserved for you.

3) Send in your housing deposit of $150.00. The sooner this is done the better. They usually need it by August 1st. You can even send it in via the telephone at 307-382 - 1845.

4) Complete the FAFSA this is found at www.fafsa.ed.gov/ (this is for players receiving any financial aid and are US citizens) WWCC cannot award any federal money (scholarships - academic or athletic) until this is completed.

5) If you have not already done so sign and return 1 copy of your National Letter of Intent and your WWCC Letter of Intent. This is of course for those who are receiving a scholarship for soccer, all walk-ons need not worry about this step. If your NLI has not yet arrived it will arrive soon after you get all paperwork done. Some of you I still need some paperwork done like your eligibility affidavit before we can process it.

6) For those who have not yet got your National Letter of Intent you need to go to;
http://www.wwcc.wy.edu/athletics/eligibility_affidavit.pdf and print it out, fill it out and either mail it to the college care of Financial Aide or to my home. Get a hold of me for the address. This needs to be done before you can get your National Letter of Intent.

7) For all new students WWCC you need to attend a new student orientation and advising. The dates and times for this summer are; June 15^th at 6pm, June 23^rd at 1pm or 6pm, July 12^th at 1pm or 6pm, July 27^th at 1pm or 6pm, and August 8^th at 1pm and 6pm. When you decide which best fits your schedule please register at www.wwcc.wy.edu/advising/notice.htm Also realize you will already be on campus for the August 8^th date so it would work well for most of you. You must reserve a spot in these sessions so reserve your spot now. YOU WILL NOT BE ELIGIBLE TO PLAY UNTIL YOU COMPLETE THIS. Also if possible, inform me when you are coming so I can meet you on campus that day.

8) Physicals will be taken care of by the college and all athletes need to complete the physicals before they can be cleared to practice. As of right now the physicals are scheduled for Saturday August 6^th in Rock Springs.

9) When you register for classes this fall please realize that all practices when school starts will be from 4:00pm to 6:00pm or 6:00pm to 8:00pm so try not to schedule classes/labs during those times. Also please realize that the men's soccer program expects you to have 15 credits that will help you on your way to graduate.

10) As of right now we are planning on having everyone move in on Saturday August 6^th with our first practice being the night of the 6^th. Things sometimes change due to the availability of dorms etc...

11) Please send your final official high school and any official college transcripts to WWCC as soon as they are available. This is very important; the transcripts need to be cleared for you to be eligible to play in the fall.

12) See link to the left entitled Summer Workouts to see what you should be doing every day this summer to stay fit. We will have a fitness test on the first day this fall and if you are not fit, it will show and it could effect your playing time. Starters for the first scrimmage will be selected from those players who are the most fit the first week of camp.

13) I am trying to get our blog all updated and thinking about making a program for this seasons team. If you could do the following for me: Check out the link here and look at your profile. If there is info missing or incorrect or if you have a soccer picture or a better one then e-mail me it if possible at jatkinso@wwcc.wy.edu
