Mother’s Day Soccer! But we have gifts for the kids instead.
Coaches, we will have the player medals available for pickup on Sunday. At Eldersburg Elementary, you or a single team representative should stop by the Board area to pick up your bag of team medals. At Springfield the bags will be at the field for you at gametime.
You can give out the medals to your team when it’s best for you. It could this Sunday, next Sunday, or maybe at a team party. 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 hours.
Make sure to follow our Facebook page for updates, special dates and additional information.
For more information, please find the application in our Handouts section at https://www.freedomoptsoccer.com/handouts.
Applications are due by May 1, 2026.
