Coaches Corner
Coaches please remember that if you have the first
game of the day you are responsible to set up goals for your field.
So arrive early to ensure you start on time or your game will be
cut short so that the next team can start on time. Also remember that
if you are the last game on your field for the day your team is
responsible for taking down your goals. Please don’t forget the corner flags!!
