Coaches, if you did not pick up your player medals, they are available. You or a single team representative should stop by the Board area to pick up your bag of team medals. If you play at EES and plan on giving out the team medals at the field, either ask the referee to shorten the game or move your team off the field to hand out the medals. Games must still start at the top of each hour. And make sure to drop off any borrowed equipment on your way out.
And after tomorrow’s games end, we ask that the final teams on a field remove the nets from the goals. They can be placed in the bin at the field, or by the goal if no bin has arrived.
And we can use all the help we can get to move the goals from the fields to be stored for the summer. Some goals will need to be taken apart, and some moved to another location. We will start as the games end at 12pm and 1pm.
Volunteer hours can be earned. And all help appreciated!
Make sure to follow our Facebook page for updates, special dates and additional information.
