CASL Coaches Connection

U7 and U8 coaches/teams,

I wanted to follow up on the mass email that was sent yesterday as it relates to games this weekend for U7 and U8 recreation.  Because we have had such bad luck with the weather over the past 2 weeks, the CASL administration worked to come up with a solution that hopefully will be of benefit to a majority of our membership. 

All U7 and U8 games are cancelled for this weekend, so no official games will be played.  If you had a game scheduled for this weekend, it is your choice to show up during your game time and use the game field for training or scrimmage.  Please recognize that 2 teams are slotted for each field, so you will have to work together to come up with your plan for Saturday.  If for some reason you are on a field and the other team elecs not to show, you then have full use of the entire space.

If you happen to coach an older team or have a child that participates on an older team, everything will proceed as normal with those ages. 

Only use the field and time that you are assigned to for your specific match.

This decision will allow teams the opportunity to train on a game field on Saturday and also get their normal training in next week, so that these teams may have 2 training sessions before a first official game.

Please recognoze that all training field closures will be handled in the same manner as always, via the weather hotline.  

Summary:

• All U7 and U8 games are cancelled this weekend and only U7 and U8 games.
• It is your choice to show up and use your scheduled game time as training/scrimmage time.  Do not contact CASL, just simply have your team show up as usual and take advantage of the allocated space
• This decision has zero impact on training days and times.  This will be handled as usual via the weather hotline. 
• Please work together with the opposing team to share the field space and be respectful to be off prior to the next set of teams to arrive.
