Good afternoon everyone, just a few things to note:

1. Survey. Thank you for the feedback on the survey sent last week.  I will leave it open through end of day Sunday so if you want to respond, please do so before end of day Sunday.

2. Fall Timeline.  I've had a few of you reach out and ask on Fall timeline for soccer.  I will circulate a timeline out to everyone early next week once the JV/Varsity games are wrapped up for the Spring season

3. End of Season Tournaments.  I know that the developmental season is wrapped up, but we do have one last week for the JV/Varsity season.  Every team in our JV/V leagues has an opportunity to play this weekend.  For those teams that qualified for the Championship series, those games will be held at Seton LaSalle over Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  See below schedule for game times.  For the teams that did not qualify for the Championship series, Holy Sepulcher is hosting a tournament on Saturday.  I believe that Chris Marsico reached out already to the teams that are eligle to participate in the Holy Sepulcher Tournament, but if you have any questions, let me know and I'll get you in touch with the people that can answer them.

Also, with respect to the championship series, I've attached a set of rules.  Most items are the same as previous seasons, but I did formalize the leagues policy on water breaks for excessively hot days and guidance on ramifications of card issuance.  

With respect to the water breaks, we will key off of USA Youth Soccer guidelines on this matter, which is based off of a formula that takes into consideration geography, temperature and humidity.  If you have concerns on the temperature that day please ask me in advance of the start of the game, I will double check conditions on the ground, cross reference that against USA Youth Soccer Guidelines and then institute water breaks halfway through each half, if conditions on the ground warrant that.

With respect to card issuances, if any player or coach is issued two yellow cards in a match or 1 red, they are done for the tournament.  They will need to leave the field and venue and if the team has another game later that weekend, such player or coach is not eligible to return.  This includes any related soccer activities such as the awards ceremony.  The same holds true of any parents, specators or others at the field who is asked to leave.  They cannot return later in the weekend for other games or attend the awards.  I would ask everyone to remind their players, fans and coaches of this rule. This is everyones' one and only warning
