Coach Notes - Week #1

Dear Coach:

Finally, games start this weekend. Here are things to remember for this week:

· Please remember to check the team assignments each week.The updated schedule is posted on our home page.
· Remind parents to NOT PARK on the grass OR along the entrance/exit road.
· Help us out by taking care of your trash. Players, coaches, and spectators should clean their field after their game. It only takes a few minutes to do this. DO NOT LEAVE TRASH BY THE SHED OR IN THE PORT-A-POTTIES

Please take a few minutes and read the important information in this newsletter.

Sincerely,
Lisa Blankenship
JCYSL Regional Commissioner

Team Responsibilities
Each week out teams need to help paint the fields to get them ready for that weeks games. Please consider helping your coach out by offering to paint a field during practice. You can see the list of Team Duties and which fields your team is responsible for painting that week by going to our Fall 2022 Team Field Responsibilities.

Game Balls & Flags
Game balls can be found in the shed and are marked with the the appropriate division. Please remember to return balls to the shed after your game as we only have a limited number for the season. Also, only the 10U, 12U, 15U and 19U divisions need flags for their fields. The first home team of the day will put the flags out and the last home team will put them away. See Team Field Responsibilities for specifics.

Where to Sit on Saturdays
In order to keep everyone spread out as best we can, please have spectators and teams sit as follows:
6U, 8U & 10U - Each team with their spectators should sit on opposite sides.
12U, 15U, & 19U - Teams will sit on one side and spectators will sit on opposite side.
See attached map for more details...

Line Up Cards
Please make sure to submit your line up cards after each game. If your game has a referee, please submit the COMPLETED card to him/her. Otherwise, you can drop your completed card in the shed. There is a box marked Lineup cards located on a shelf to the left as you enter the shed where all completed cards are to be put. Submitting lineup cards is NOT optional.

No Parking on the Grass!!!
The only acceptable grass parking is the back parking lot behind the upper fields. Please do not park on the grass in the main parking lot, along the road, or beside the no parking signs at the end of the main parking lot. This includes temporary drop-offs and pick-ups. JCPRC does not want us parking on the grass and we need to abide by that request.

Inclement Weather/Text Alerts

If we have to cancel practices/games because of inclement weather or unsafe field conditions, JCYSL will utilize the text system in Blue Sombrero.

Each parent/volunteer should have received a message that your placed in a group. To confirm the membership to the group, please text JCYSL2022ayso14431 to 334-310-2497. This will confirm the group membership and opt you in to our text messages for this membership year.

Please encourage parents to sign up also as it will makes things easier for everyone.
