Dear Parents and Coaches,
We want to remind everyone of our zero tolerance policy for referee abuse at 5v5 Soccer. As we aim to create a positive and fun tournament, it is crucial that we maintain a supportive sideline environment. While competition is part of the game, let's remember to be respectful and encouraging.
Referees play a vital role in ensuring fair play, and we must treat them with respect. Please remember to:
‣Encourage positive behavior
‣Cheer and support without aggression
‣Communicate with respect
‣Focus on player development
By following these guidelines, we can create a safe and inclusive atmosphere for everyone involved. This should extend to how we treat all team supporters, coaches, staff members, players on both teams and our officials.
Thank you for making 5v5 Soccer a great experience. Let's celebrate the joy of the game and promote sportsmanship together!
Best regards,
Andrew Vorce
President 5v5 Soccer
I am keeping a close eye on the weather. We plan to get the tournament in on Saturday. We will play in the rain. Take a delay if there is lightning.
We are very excited about Saturday. We have over 30 teams. We appreciate everyone who has signed up.
I should have the schedule out tomorrow.
Thank you,
Steve
