Good morning, as we head into week 3 of our season I had just a few quick items to share with you all, they are as follows:

1. JV/Varsity Score reporting – We are two weeks in and all games played have been reported online, thank you for that, it makes all of our jobs easier. If you have any issues uploading the scores, please let Bob or me know. We have had a few minor issues pop up that we are working on fixing, thanks for letting us know of the glitches when they occur.

2. End of Season Developmental and All Girls Tournament Registration – Registration is open for the developmental tournament. Please send me the teams that you would like to register and I will time stamp the entries (so far I have received entries from SKS and AGS). In the event that a bracket fills up before the registration deadline of 10/15, the teams that were registered first will have priority. As a reminder we will try to have the following age brackets 1, 2, 1/2, 3, 4, 3/4, JV Girls, Varsity Girls. In the event that I do not have enough 1/2 and 3/4 grade teams, those teams will play in the 2 and 4 grade bracket respectively. For the All Girls teams please note whether you are fielding a JV squad, a Varsity squad or a mixed squad. If we do not have enough teams to do a JV and V bracket separately for the girls we will combine those brackets as we have done in the past.

3. Rule Correction – Deep in the rules you will find the build out line rules. One correction there, it states those only apply to 3 and 4 grade. The build out rule should also apply to the 1 and 2 grade teams as well. Typically those smaller fields do not have a separate build out line and instead use the midfield line as the build out spot. Please let your coaches, players and refs know about the build out rule and that it applies to all of developmental soccer (but not to JV/Varsity).

4. Updated contact list – I’ve sent a further revised contact list that has a change to the Aquinas third grade coaches and a correction to the Referee Coordinator contact email. At this point I am not aware of any further corrections so this list should be considered final (hopefully).

Thanks and I hope everyone has a great week of games,

Rob
