This next Saturday, May 21, will be the day of the Developmental and All Girls JV/V Soccer Tournament.  The Tournament location is at the No Offseason 904 Little Deer Creek Valley Rd, Russellton, PA 15076.  I have attached a few things that should make your day go more smoothly if you are participating in this year's tournament.  They are as follows:

1. Tournament Spreadsheet.  The Games, Bracket and Venue Tabs will be most helpful to you, but feel free to review them all.  Note that in the VEnue Layout tab this spreadsheet is not to scale for any of the fields, and that the fields for JV/V girls tournament will be larger than what they appear on the layout (we will be combining fields), but the general location will be accurate.

2. Tournament Rules – A lot of time has gone into the preparation of this tournament.  We do insist on having each coach read these rules and we ask that you share them with your families as well.  I almost had to disqualify one team last year for failure to read and follow the rules and the venue could ask you to leave if you do not follow their rules (such as no dogs, etc.).  Take a couple of minutes to familiarize yourselves with them, it will make Saturday go much more smoothly for all of us.

3. Form of Team Roster – Please bring this and the registration fee to the DSL Tent for each team prior to the start of your first game.  Schools can have one person drop off all fees and registrations, but each team should still check in with the tent so that we know you are here.  

Remember to check in 30 minutes prior to the start of your first game to allow you time to get to the venue, park, and start organizing your team.  

We have rearranged the tournament flow and fields a bit to try to eliminate the parking issues we had last fall.  When parking in no event should you block someone in, you may find your vehicle towed if you do.  If by chance there isn't a parking space readily available, drop off your player and wait for a spot to open before parking, we have teams rolling in and out all day.  I know it can be frustrating, but not nearly as frustrating for the other person who is now boxed in.

Finally, please note that due to size constraints that there will not be any school tents permitted this year so prepare accordingly.  We also are not permitting any food on the fields due to last season's issues with garbage and food being left on the field.  Concessions will be provided and there are areas that you can eat, just not on the fields.  Those that do not follow these rules will be asked to leave.  I would not want to choose to ask a parent to leave and not watch their kids play, but the alternative is that we lose these fields and we may not be able to have a tournament next season, so please be a considerate guest and do not eat on the fields.

That's it, let me know if you have any questions and I'm looking forward to a great event.
