PK Schedule

The first round of games is up. I'll try to get a couple more games in with the season ending April 25.

Other schedules will be up early tomorrow AM - I'm having some issues with the Cobden games. Sorry for the lateness. One team will play Cobden at 9AM on both 1/2 and 3/4. They may end up bringing enough for two teams. I'll know tonight.

Never Mind

Schedules will be up tomorrow.

Update, march 18

No, I DO NOT have enough coaches.

Yes, I hope to get some games in Saturday.

I have posted the first week of the PK schedule as a link to the right. I'll post the rest of it tomorrow, along with 3/4 and part of the 1/2.

New teams will not play until March 28.

End of Registrations for Spring 2009

As of yesterday afternoon, no more registrations will be accepted.

We already are WAY over the numbers of the fall season and we NEED COACHES!

PLEASE call me if you want to coach.

March 2 Registration

Thanks to everyone for showing up at the registration last night. I imagine parking was a problem...

I have started entering the data into our system, and we'll get back to all you new people as soon as possible.

If you played in the Fall 2008 season and have not heard from your coach, call him and/or her and say you are going to play.

Thanks again!

The season will end by MAY 2

Not March 2, like the letter said.

Sorry! I'm in a hurry!

Soccer and Weather

Yesterday's death of a Carbondale track team member after being struck by lightning should remind us all of the perils our kids face when storms approach.

The general rule (according to the National Weather Service) is that if lightning is spotted, the fields should be cleared immediately. As we saw yesterday, that policy is ineffective. My policy is that when THUNDER CAN BE HEARD the fields should be cleared IMMEDIATELY. If at any time you think there is a threat to your child or to your team because of the weather, do not hesitate - get off the field!

I have contacted the Illinois Youth Soccer Association for their opinion and will update this site when I hear from them.
