5v5 League Des Moines, IA

Good morning,


I would like to express our sincere gratitude for selecting our Summer 5v5 League as your soccer option this summer. As this is a new league for our club, we are committed to continuously improving it throughout the season and in the years to come, with the aim of making it the premier summer league in Iowa. Please note that while there will be some schedule adjustments for the week of July 9th, the current schedule will remain in effect for this week. We will review all scores from the upcoming matches this Wednesday, as well as those from the past few weeks, to refine the matchups.


Regarding tomorrow's matches, I understand that some teams may have players unable to attend. If you would like to add a player or two to your roster, you are welcome to do so. Please ensure that any new players sign the online waiver before participating.

LEAGUE ATMOSPHERE AND SIDELINE BEHAVIOR:


Apex Soccer Academy and The Gregg Young Sports Campus kindly request that parents allow the players to play and the referees to officiate. Coaches, we kindly ask the same of you. Occasionally, things may not go as planned. Please contribute to fostering a fun atmosphere this summer. The goal of this league is to offer an enjoyable summer experience for players and families. We can provide coaching during our upcoming training sessions. Let us strive to simply allow them to play.


In light of the U.S. Soccer Federation's new Referee Abuse Prevention Policy, our sport and club are dedicated to creating a safer and more respectful environment for officials at all levels. To learn more about this new policy and read the perspective of our founder, Skye Eddy, please see our latest blog article.
