ssj Kickstarters Program Kickstarters Kids learn best when they are having fun and Kickstarters delivers just that! Kickstarters Program Kickstarters is designed for boys and girls born between 01/01/2018 and 6/30/2020. Our program draws on the research-based principles outlined by US Soccer. Players develop skills while playing games that require each of them to have a ball at their feet for most of the training sessions, and more touches on the ball = more skill development! Kickstarters consists of two practice sessions during the week and a “game” on Saturday. Practice days will be Mon/Wed, Tue/Thu or Wed/Fri. Practice times are usually between 5:00-6:00pm. If you have a preference of which practice days, please note this on your registration form. You may request to play with a friend if they are in the same age group. Kickstarters is Coed. NO REQUESTS ARE GUARANTEED On Game Days, each team will play small sided games against another SSJ team that will allow them to show off their skills and start to develop the understanding and intuition needed to be ultimately successful. There are no referees at this age. By having small sided games, the players will have more touches on the ball, make decisions, evaluate the results of those decisions, and over time will develop a solid understanding of the tactical aspects of the game. Flexible practice times making it easier to fit your schedule Standardized Age Appropriate Curriculum and Training Methodology Focus on Individual Skill Development (while having fun) Parent Participation opportunities Volunteer coaches are needed. Our Recreational program success relies on our volunteer coaches. If you would like to consider coaching please use the following link to register as a coach for your child’s team. UPDATE: Fall registration is currently closed. Players registered after August 1st will be placed into our waitlist. We will contact you as soon as a spot becomes available.

charlize tungol Charlize Tungol is a Bay Area native, born in Daly City and raised in San Jose. She attended Millbrook Elementary School in the Evergreen area and started playing school soccer at Quimby Oak Middle. From there, she went to Evergreen Valley High School to play varsity soccer all four years. For club, she played for PAC, South San Jose, and Santa Clara Sporting. Now she is playing soccer at the collegiate level at Evergreen Valley College. Charlize has coached youth futsal for Legends Futsal, but is now moving over to competitive youth soccer for MVLA San Jose. Her biggest inspiration in coaching is Coach Fern from EVC and Coach Jodi of MVLA. Her favorite part of coaching is being a role model for young girls and creating an environment for empowering girls and women in sports. Charlize's favorite soccer memory is making a PK to win the state cup final with her team in 2018, and scoring in the last minute goal to win against conference rivals West Valley College 2022. She roots for Manchester United and FC Barcelona on the men's side, and is an all-time supporter of the USWNT. Charlize wants to give a special thanks to Coach Felicia for allowing her to continue her soccer career at a higher level, and for Coach Anthony who guided her to love her position, the 6, so much as a youth player.

CODE OF CONDUCT In an effort to enhance the experience for all members of the MVLA San Jose community (coaches, players, and parents), we believe it is important to have a clear set of expectations and a shared understanding for each of these key members of our community. Please click on each of the areas below to view details of codes of conduct for coaches, players, and parents. Also, visit the Communication Protocol page to read about our club philosophy on communication processes. Parent Code of Conduct Player Code of Conduct Coach Code Of Conduct WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE VALUE MVLA San Jose values hard work, commitment, and excellence both on and off of the field. MVLASJ believes that its parents can play a vital role in impacting and positively representing the MVLA San Jose community through the examples we set to our players/children. To ensure the best possible experience for our players and in the spirit of good sportsmanship, we expect our parents (and any family/friends who come with them to games as spectators) to be positive and supportive to all players. Parents/Spectators participate in a match by watching, cheering, and supporting the efforts of all participants of the match. Soccer should be fun. The game is for the players; their participation and enjoyment of the game is the most important element. Still, parents have responsibilities to the coach, to the team, and to the entire MVLA San Jose. COMMUNICATIONS A parent should feel it is acceptable to bring questions or issues to the coach, team manager, or a board member’s attention and that the person contacted will respond in an appropriate and timely manner. Communications will be acknowledged in a timely manner (typically no more than 2-3 days) with appropriate follow-up as needed. Communications that are not responded to or handled satisfactorily may be escalated following club processes. It is the parent’s role to escalate items either not personally resolved or those for which his or her player has been unable to get addressed. Click HERE (https://mvlasj.byga.net/f/o1yrw502)for Escalation Form. AVAILABILITY CHANGES If a player cannot attend practice due to unforeseen circumstances, then that player is required to notify their coach as soon as it is possible to do so. For changes to availability on a game day, the player (or parent if a younger player) should text the coach and advise if the player can no longer participate in a game. For practices, the parent should annotate the change in availability in Byga and contact the coach or team manager in line with whatever expectations that coach/team has in place additionally. CONFLICT MANAGEMENT Should a conflict arise between MVLA San Jose coaches, players, or parents it is required that such confrontations be addressed in the appropriate manner (with respect), and at the appropriate time (privately). While the coaches are committed to open communication with parents, there is a certain process that should be observed. In particular, the time before and during a game is dedicated to the players. It is not appropriate for a parent to approach a coach to discuss game or individual player concerns at this time. The coach will be happy to set up a meeting/phone call to address parent concerns at a time that will not interfere with the attention required by the players. An exception to this request is an incident when a player is injured. The coaches will be available immediately after a game to discuss the situation and any concerns with parents. FEES It is understood by accepting a roster spot for their child on an MVLA San Jose team that the parents are committing to pay club and team's fees for their player(s) in a timely fashion. If parents fall behind in payments, their player(s) may not be allowed to train with the team, and/or may be ineligible for any games while fees remain outstanding.
