Hello CRUSA Soccer Club Members. Families of players in our club are encouraged to get involved for the fun and partnership of the game. All the volunteer efforts are greatly appreciated by each of us in the club . The increased participation by our members, helps subsidize our operating costs in that we can avoid contracting out paid services. The sharing of the workload within the club also helps us from "over-using" and "burning-out" active members. More information on how you can get involved as a volunteer can be found in the Volunteer Center of our club's website at www.crusa-soccer.com.

Landmark Center Behavior Guidelines. The YIHS shares the Landmark Center with others, and we all can get along. Please observe common staircase etiquette at all times, park away from the building in a quiet side street (the short walk does you good), always (at all times) use the north entrance and staircase, never the south entrance and staircase (by the Kindergarten), and if your transportation includes the skateboard, use sound judgment concerning the potential for bumping into other people and objects. Do not skateboard inside the Landmark Center ever. Stop before you do frighten future potential YIHS students (K8) near the Landmark Center or on PRWS grounds.
