Abbotsford MF Soccer Club
Spring League Starts This Week!
Countdown to Kick Off
The U10/U11 League starts tomorrow at 6 pm with two games at Godson Elementary.
The U8/U9 teams start on Tuesday at Terry Fox with the U12/U13/U14 groups going on Tuesday at Godson Elementary.
ALL schedules can be found online at www.abbotsfordsoccerclub.com under Youth Programs and then look for Spring Recreational League Schedules.
First Night Information
A huge number of volunteers offered to be Game Facilitators and we ask that each team's parents quickly meet to help organize who will be doing the substitutions on any given night. We appreciate that everyone is busy and those wishing to help out may not be available every night.
We'll make sure every Game Facilitator has a team list to help with the substitutions each night.
Each team will receive at least one ball for their team to help with a quick warm up session prior to kick off. Parents are reminded that many of the referees for these games are just learning to be game officials and we ask that you encourage and respect the decisions made on the field. We often have referee mentors out watching and helping with new officials so they can continue to learn and become good game managers.
Team Colours and Shirt Delivery
While we have the vast majority of sizing ordered by you, some late orders have yet to arrive and we expect some players may not receive their shirts this week. With that in mind, we've outlined team colours below and ask that, if possible, players wear these shirt colours this first week. DO NOT go out and purchase a new shirt, they are on their way. We are only short a few shirts but hope that by having team colours ready, everyone can play in their colours this week.
Team colours for all age groups are as follows:
Hurricane BLUE
Tornado Black
Storm RED
Lightning YELLOW
Cyclone GREY
Thunder GREEN
It's Soccer Weather!
Speaking of nasty weather, we play soccer in all kinds of weather, rain included. Above everything else, though, we want this to be a fun thing and we keep that in mind whenever making the decision to cancel matches due to inclement weather.
If the weather is iffy, keep an eye on your emails and also check our website at www.abbotsfordsoccerclub.com for updates. I will ensure any emergency announcements are on both the big BANNER section as well as the 'NEWS' section off to the right of the site.
Keep Us Posted!
We are in this to make soccer available, fun, and meaningful for as many people as possible. That means players AND parents. Fire me an email and I promise I'll get back to you. We need your input to continue to provide programs and activities that are meaningful for everyone.
Thanks for signing up for the Spring Recreation League!
