Soccer Equipment Status

Here is an update on soccer equipment.

I picked up medical kits, size 3 balls, goalie shirts and goalie gloves. I've placed this equipment on my front porch. My address is 109 Trotwood Drive, Venetia. Make sure you check-off-your-name so I know who has stopped.

Important Notes:
=============

• Everyone gets 1 medical kit.
• We are short on size 3 balls. So, only pick up one size 3 ball if you need one. If you coached U6 or U8 last year then you likely won't need one.
• Please drop off one of your size 4 balls. You can keep the other one.
• I was given goalie gloves for this year (we didn't use them last year). Take a pair if you want them. They are optional for you to use.
• I was only given a handful of goalie shirts. There will not be enough for everyone. For those that don't get a goalie shirt, the Equipment Director suggested you use the yellow pinnies in your coaches bag or pick up a used shirt from a thrift store. My suggestion: you can always use a different colored soccer jersey from home ( e.g. The yellow British Soccer Camp jersey from this year).
  

Fwd: Field Closure Message

A message from Pete about the fields hotline.

Subject: Field Closure Message

Commissioners,

 

The PTSA Fields (all) were closed via PTSA Hotline voice message posted on Tues. 8/29 due to standing water and spongy conditions.  I've had reports that teams practiced Tuesday, nevertheless.  The Hotline message was not changed today, Weds 8/29, hence the fields (all) were not yet re-opened, yet I know practices occurred on every field tonight. 

 

Please reiterate with your Coaches that they must abide by our Field Director decisions regarding field openings and closings.  Many volunteers spent a lot of hours and labor at our fields over the last month and the fields are now at risk of being torn up because Coaches are making unilateral decisions to practice regardless of the closures. 

 

I have heard many, many complaints about the poor condition of our fields and most lay the blame on neglect by PT Parks & Recreation.  However, PTSA will have no one to blame but itself when our teams trample upon wet fields during periods post-rain storms.  Although rain may have been light yesterday and today, the fields are still in fragile condition as many field areas are perched and do not absorb water or drain well.

 

Again,  please notify all Coaches in your respective age groups to check the PTSA Hotline (724-969-0771) frequently to ascertain field openings / closings and rremind them that whatever the last message is on the hotline controls from that date forward.

 

Thanks.
