The FRY FLASH is a newsletter published by the Fullerton Rangers Youth Soccer Club. The following are instructions for writing and submitting team articles for the weekly newsletter. If you have any questions, please e-mail them to flash@fullertonrangers.org.

Each team is encouraged to submit a team article about the previous weekend's game. What a great way to show your support and team spirit! Volunteer to write the articles or perhaps share this enjoyment with other families from your team. Players look forward to reading about themselves and their team - win, lose, or tie. Your participation makes a difference and is a rewarding experience.

Q.When is registration and how will I be notified?
A.Registration for the Fall season is held in April. Look for notices sent home from school, banners across Fullerton, postcards in the mail, and the website for more details.

Q.What is Spring Soccer?
A. Spring soccer is for the player who wants to play fun and friendly games on Sunday afternoons in the Spring. There are no practices, no standings, just fun, organized soccer. All games have a referee, and coaches primarily are there for organizing the team and making substitutions. Look for registration information in the Fall Fry Flash and on our website.

Here is a bit of information about team banners. Most teams purchase banners from the local soccer shop, Soccer Town. The teams ask the players to pitch in about $10.

The banners are usually three by five feet, there is not a standard that the league requires teams to meet, Usually teams create a theme that matches the team name. They add all the players names with a ball, a silohette of a player, or even a photo of the player. They may also include the coaches, team parent, and sponsors names.

The USYSA (United States Youth Soccer Association) has adopted Codes of Conduct for parents, coaches, and players. It is intended to provide a clear understanding of the type of sport that the association will support and conversely "not support". The Fullerton Rangers is affiliated with USYSA and has adopted these guidelines for it's membership.
