SPORTS 8A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2015 ‘North Coast United’ kicks off Sunday By WALT POSTLEWAIT For The Daily Astorian In years past, November signaled the end of soccer ac- tivity on the North Coast. That changes this year, through a collaborative effort between Lower Columbia Youth Soccer Association and Seaside Soccer. Together, they are launch- ing “North Coast United SC.” NC United will begin at 2 p.m. Sunday at the Warrenton Soccer Complex, with tryouts for players to form U14, U16 and U18 teams. NCU is de- signed to be the area’s year- round soccer program mod- eled after successful programs in Portland. This club approach differs from the traditional “Classic” program with different expec- tations from both the players and coaches. Typically, North Coast winter Classic teams have been one-off teams that are not formed consistently, and play only for the winter league season. NCU intends to estab- lish much more than just a “team.” The intent is to estab- lish a program that runs from mid-November through June, playing in the winter league, but also playing in tourna- ments and “friendlies.” 7KHH[SHFWDWLRQLVWR¿HOG a team of players who are dedicated to the game and are willing to put in the hard work for their soccer futures. Classic soccer has also op- erated with playing time for all players. Under the previous Classic model, all players played at least a full half.

LCYSA President Paul Carlisle said, “Our local players show marked im- provement through their high school season. Unfortunately, not having a highly competi- tive, year-round program that keeps our local student-ath- letes engaged in soccer shows up the following June, when high school practices resume. “Our athletes return rusty, and not in the form they were when the previous season ended,” he said. “NCU looks to address these short-falls by promoting a higher, more competitive level of player development.” Both area boys high 1605 SE Ensign Lane Warrenton, OR 503-861-1144 LumsToyota.com ‘This is a good opportunity to continue the training these student athletes have been receiving these past four or five months.’ John Chapman Seaside coach community and our Soccer Club. “Every day, musicians, artists, students, athletes, coaches, etc., must work on their skills in order to get better,” he said. “They strive Daily Astorian File Tim Fastabend, left, and Farid Nohrudi officiate a preseason soccer game last year at for perfection knowing it is unreachable, but know that Volunteer Field in Warrenton. without practice, they will not school soccer programs saw months.
