It's Picture Time

AYSO Region 104 and Mountain Shadows Photography have a long-standing partnership to give you a chance to get pictures of your soccer player and his or her team. These pictures provide a great way to look back at your childs growth in soccer and all the great team mates and coaches he or she has had over the years.

Mountain Shadows sets up at the game parks to get pictures of the players before their games. Getting the team organized for pictures is one of the many responsibilities of the team manager.

This year Mountain Shadows will take all pictures in the fall. (They will do U19 Boys and Girls, VIP Teams, and make-ups in the spring.) So take a look at the schedule below, and be ready to say "Cheese" on your picture day!

Times for pictures are from 8 am to 1 hour before last scheduled game at that park. Please call Bill Jemison at 344-1428 (Mountain Shadows) with any questions.

Tips for an Easier Photo Day

The following are suggestions only, not hard and fast rules. Following them will help everyone have a positive photo day experience. If you have any questions or suggestions, be sure to call Bill Jemison at 344-1428 or 610-7014. The folks at Mountain Shadows Photo are proud to be teh photographers for AYSO 104 and have offered these suggestions in the hope that they will be helpful!

• Coaches, work with your team parent to choose a date and time for pictures from the list above. No appointment is needed. You will need your team at the park 1 hour before your game time if you are playing there, or 1-1/2 hours before your game time if you are playing somewhere else.
• Have your team parent hand out the envelopes and notify the parents at least 1 week prior to the photo day you chose.
• Arrive at the picture park on time. Nothing can happen until everyone is there.
• Check in at the photo desk. When all envelopes are filled out and the whole team is present, the photos take approximately 15 minutes.
