SSA Cobb/Marietta Recreational Program Parents,

My name is Ryan Robertson and I would like to take a moment of your time and introduce myself as the new Director of Cobb/Marietta recreational soccer program. I come to you from a recent 16-month stint with SSA in our Jekyll Island, Ga location as the Director of Coaching and later as the Technical Director. I have worked with in the SSA structure since 2009 (formerly known as Cobb FC) and held the positions of Technical Officer and Boys Academy Director at the Cobb/Marietta location. I hold a USSF B license and am currently applying to the USSF A License course for the near future. I know the area well and am excited to be of service in this soccer community once again.  I am also a father of 2 elementary school aged kids one of which will be playing alongside some of your players. I am very excited to start the spring season and begin to build relationships with each of you, parents and players alike, during this part of the soccer journey. In addition to my role as the recreational director, I will also take on the role of Director of the Player Development Academy or PDA for short. I am excited to meet every one of our current and prospective players and parents during the Spring season.
In the near future, I will start contacting our volunteer coaches and will be setting some coaching education dates for the spring. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer coach please feel free to reach me via email. As you know the recreational soccer program runs off of volunteer coaches and our aim is to support those of you who coach and as a result build a great experience for the players and families.

A gentle reminder that registration for the Spring 2018 Recreational season is currently open and will close on January 31st. The registration link is listed below. The first week of practices will be held the week of February 11th with the first weekend of games being played on March 3rd.
