U8 Spring Soccer to begin... maybe.

U8 Coaches:

Here are my latest thoughts/notes on the Spring season.

Fields still not open
Parks & Rec still has not open the fields for our use. Please stay off of them until you hear the hotline say they are open. We are trying very hard not to destroy our already poorly conditioned fields.

Fields are created and lined
With the help of some great volunteers on Saturday morning, we were able to create all 7 U8 soccer fields (it took 5 hours to get everything completed). Like in the fall, U8 Boys will be assigned PSC U8 fields 3,4 & 5 - and one U8 field (marked with a "B" for Boys) at Venetia.

Games will be delayed 1 week
Our first game will be April 12th. Last game will be May 31st (trophy and picnic day), as originally planned. That is a 7 game schedule. Optionally, I'll let you decide if you want to make up the game originally planned for this coming weekend. Just pick a practice night sometime during the season and have a friendly scrimmage.

I need a few volunteers
I will be out of town this weekend, and a badly need a couple of volunteers to re-line our U8 fields so all of our hard work does not get erased by the weather. It should only take an hour or two if I can get a handful of volunteers. I'd like the work to be done sometime on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Anyone, anyone? Bueller, Beuller?

I should have a full game schedule completed tonight or tomorrow (I keep saying that... sorry).
