Keeper cup games will start Saturday morning 8am is the earliest game. The games are in 10 minute blocks please be early, there is no time to reschedule games due to late arrives so make sure you are at the field and ready at your schedueld time. Please make sure you keeper knows to take the field at their scheduled time there will not be an annoucement - The Ref will have a game card with the keepers name that he will verify. Please bring at least 1 aired up ball with you, the more soccer balls you can bring the better the game will be. Highly recommened bringing multiple soccerballs. Parents bring your running shoes as the quicker the balls are returned the more time your keeper has to score!

You can find the rules here: https://www.thekeepercup.com/rules

Please remember you will need to complete the Roster and player waiver for your keeper. The team name is your keepers name, you will still need to add your keeper to the team roster. Once on the roster you will need to complete the waiver for the keeper.

I am still accepting in all divisions. If you know of a keeper would want to complete Saturday have them contact me to snag a spot! Remaining spots are limited so register before it is too.
