In September 2010, Rockland Youth Soccer will turn 35!  This is cause for a celebration! Some ideas being thought of to make sure this is a special day includes a parade, games, RYS memorabilia, as well as many more ideas.  We really want this to be a day that the parents and kids will never forget.  

In order to make this happen we need your help.  A 35th Anniversary Committee is being formed to make this event a success.  If you have any experience in organizing events, field days, etc we could use your help.  If you want to get involved in RYS in a manner other then coaching, this is your chance.  Please consider helping us make this a memorable for everyone involved RYS.
