MK Sirocco

Public meetings have been scheduled this coming Wednesday and Thursday evenings, May 22 and 23, to provide information about the plans for next year in regards to MK Sirocco and the Milwaukee Kickers.  
Learn about:

• Select tryouts, including selection criteria

• The streamlined registration process
• Differences between select soccer and Youth Academy program, including
• Information on the Milwaukee Kickers WDA teams
• How all of the above are different from recreational soccer

If you have a child who will be age 7 to 18, meaning they are probably in grades 2 through 12 next year, and they are interested in playing competitive soccer, then this meeting is for you.

Tryouts are Scheduled!   Please see the club calendar and plan to register. For more information go to the Tryouts Page!  Then attend tryouts for the MK Sirocco program.  Do not register for anything other than select tryouts until after you've accepted an offer (which can't happen until after tryouts in June).  Even if you can't attend tryouts, you still need to register for tryouts just to get an offer on a team. 

1 - Regististration is now open.  To register, go to www.mksc.org  then Registrations.  Follow the prompts to the 2013 - 2014 registration link, chosing new player registration.  Follow the steps to register your player with MK SIROCCO and pay the tryout fee ($25) - you will not pay for the full season registration fee until after tryouts, if/when you accept a position on a team.  More information can be found on the Tryouts page.

The ATP (Advanced Trainging Program) is now offering extra training to all MK Sirocco players, U8 to U17, four days per week, Monday through Thursday.  All training is at the Casper Drive fields, from 6:30 - 8:00.

All practices for ALL POOLS, Youth Academy and Select, will be held at the "Casper Drive" fields in New Berlin.  Address: 3900 S Casper DR., New Berlin, WI.

We are not utilizing lights this spring, so we are having to start practices at 5:00pm each day for at least the first couple of weeks, and the early and late practices are overlapped by half an hour.  As soon as we can we'll move both early and late practices each day to start later, and then as sunset approaches 8:30pm again (mid-May) we'll move the late practice to start at 7:00pm.

MK Sirocco's first annual Beer Fest held on April 19th at the Muskego Lakes Country Club was a success.  $8117 was raised by our soccer community to enhance the soccer experience for our entire club.  Thank you to Frank Lant for organizing a great event and for all the volunteers that made this event a huge success.  Planning for the 2nd annual beer fest has already begun and promises to be bigger and better than ever!

See you on the pitch,

An important Law change that will be enforced this spring is that any tape or similar material applied to the outside of a player's socks, regardless of purpose, MUST be the same color as the portion of the sock the tape covers. Help get the word out. The change will be implemented at all ages and levels.

A new page added to mksirocco.org. On this page you will find pictures, videos and intersting stories from our own soccer comunity and the entire soccer world.  This week you can check out what the boys from Portugal did on their snow day!!

There are many tasks being completed by a select few so the more volunteers that can assist with administrative assistance, the better.  (Picture day and Spiritwear for example could not have been done without added volunteers.)  We need additional helpers both now and for future seasons – see a few examples below.  Fulfill your volunteer commitment and let us know how you can help!
