Good morning. I apologize, for the delay in the scheudle release. I have a few pending registrations. Additionally, there was some miscommunication among our staff, and as a result, the Keeper Cup game times have shifted. Scheduled games will now be from 2:00 PM to 4:30 PM.
If this new timeframe does not work for you, and your keeper is not already playing in the 5v5 soccer tournament, please let me know. I may be able to adjust the times back to the morning based on your feedback.
I appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we continue to learn and grow.
Best regards,
