Around July, the division coodinators for the team age groups will begin calling the prospective coaches to confirm and to work out details about practice days and fields. Teams are assigned in early August. Practice Fields The fields are located on Sellstation Rd. Coaches are responsible for weather related practice cancellation decisions. Occasionally we will cancel all practices due to thunder/lightening or flooded fields. Game day cancellations are done by the commissioner early Saturday mornings. We will post online information about weekend game cancellations due to bad weather or poor field conditions. In some cases, matches may be played in the rain, but they may be abandoned even in the absence of rain if playing would result in excess field wear. Please keep in mind that player safety is the responsibility of the referee, and that ultimately, it's the referees decision as to whether a match should be abandoned. Please avoid worn areas to limit damage to the turf, and use good judgment. If the players are getting muddy, it may be time to shift the practice to a less exposed area of the field. Note that many of our fields show bare areas after repeated use, particularly in front of the goals, which are easily torn up by cleats. Please practice away from these areas, and DON'T USE THE GOAL AREAS FOR PRACTICES. Use cones to mark off practice areas which avoid the worn spots. Accident Reporting If a player or registered adult volunteer (such as a Coach or Assistant Coach) becomes injured during practice or a game, the injury must be reported. See the Accident Reporting page for information. Accident Reporting Form
