Goals Soccer

Good morning, Soccer Families!

Our lost and found box has been overflowing.  It's by the bathroom water fountain at each practice/game.  Plan on checking it just in case... water bottles and jackets have a way of running away sometimes!  It's a good idea to write your child's name on their ball (or rewrite it if the name has faded).  That way it can be returned to you if it ends up in lost and found. Sharpies are kept in the red box that is by the registration table.

Games have been fun to watch and hear about.  It's so good to hear parents encouraging players from the sidelines.  Keep cheering on your players, but please leave instructing them about soccer during games to the coaches. Thank you again, to everyone that makes these games happen on and off the field! 

Halloween, October 31st, falls on a Thursday this year.  Some coaches will not be at practice that day.  Check with your coaches or team parents to find out if your child's team will be practicing.

It is getting dark faster.  Please talk to your children to make sure they know where they can find you after practice, and keep your eyes out for young children that might need help finding their parent.  Next Thursday we will have glow sticks for players and their little siblings.  They will be at the registration table area for them to pick up on their way out.  That's my favorite time of the whole soccer season...  seeing the field light up with glow sticks, as it represents a season of fun, hard work, and growth!

We're on a roll with soccer games!  The weather has been amazing.  So much love and support is being shown on and around the fields each time we meet.  God's presence is evident!  

Thank you all for your patience as we have been figuring out teams and working out other details.   

And thank you, volunteers, for all you're doing!!  If you will be unavailable for any of your scheduled volunteer times and can't find a replacement, let us know, and we'll help find someone to cover for you.

If players are not able to be at a practice or a game, please let their coach know.

Don't hesitate to talk to your coach or leadership if you have any questions or concerns.  We're here to help.

Line Judges and Team Parents, watch out for an email that will be sent to you today with team lists and line-judging schedules.

Please continue to look out for left-behind items if you are last to leave the field and return items to the lost and found box.  Also, keep your dogs on-leash and pick up dog waste, as required by Molalla park rules. 

This is an amazing soccer league!  We appreciate all the volunteering that is going into making this a great soccer season!!!

 Off to a Great Start

This season is off to a great start!  Thanks to everyone for helping these first practices run so smoothly!

Practice is still on for tomorrow, 5:30-7:30.  It's going to be very hot! If it's too hot for your family, feel free to come late or leave early. Leadership will be ready to get players registered and hand out jerseys.  Players can meet their coaches and teammates and find out which field they will be playing on.  Some soccer playing will happen if coaches think it's wise.

As a reminder, bring cleats, shin guards, soccer ball and plenty of water.

We will have registration again on Saturday for those that are not able to make it tomorrow.  

We are looking forward to seeing as many of you as can make it tomorrow!
