We are asking everyone to re-register as per ASA guidelines. Please ensure all emergency contact and player info is up to date. There are no fees for this season but we will still require each family to fulfill a volunteer commitment (no volunteer required for U5 as parents are expected to be on the field). With the modified guidelines for COVID procedures, we will need volunteers more than ever! Please sign up to coach, assistant coach or manage a team if you can. Coaches must be 18yrs of age. We will require a head coach, assistant coach and a manager for every team. As we will be keeping teams smaller, we need these volunteers to help manage social distancing on the sidelines and help our players and families safe and healthy. If we do not have sufficient volunteers in place, your child's division may not be able to proceed. We are hoping to get the kids out on the field by early July 6 and the season will run until late July, ending just on time for our Challenger Camp to get under way in early August! All practices will be at the upper energy center fields, with some practices on the new turf field as well, depending on availability.
