Hello JCYSL Members:
Welcome to week #3. I want to apologize for
not getting a week #2 newsletter out last week. We the weather events
and my work there wasn't enough time in the week to pass along
information. I do appreciate everyone being flexible with the changing
of the fields.
Tomorrow we will play on the upper fields as the
lower fields are still recovering. Please check the schedule for field
updates.
We still have folks parking in the grass. Please do not park in the grass. You run the risk of being towed at your expense. The only acceptable places to park are designated gravel lots or the back lot on the hill.
Finally, the paved parking sports are designated as handicap spots.
Please keep those open for those who need to park in those spots.
The
weather forecast is calling for rain into the morning hours and the
temperature will be in the high 70s. We do play in the rain. Coaches are not permitted to cancel games.
JCYSL will only cancel games for unsafe field conditions or severe
weather events. If we decide to cancel the entire day, we will do so by
7AM. Please check your email, text messages, Facebook, and www.jcysl.org
throughout the day as alerts may happen due to changing conditions. To
subscribe to text alerts, please text JCYSLayso14431 to 84483.
Finally,
please remember that we follow the AYSO Kids Zone during our practices
and games. Those guidelines are listed later in this newsletter.
Please read and follow during every AYSO event.
AYSO Kids Zone
At
any AYSO event (practices, games, meetings, and field day), AYSO
operates under the Kids Zone Pledge. What does that mean? Simply put

play the game. The following rules are in play during these times:
- Kids are No. 1.
- Fun, not winning is everything.
- Fans only cheer, and only coaches coach.

- No swearing or abusive behavior.
- No alcohol, tobacco or drugs.
