A
lot of information here and some of it is a repeat from fall but I thought it
would be good to get grounded on how things will work.
Calendar
Please
recall that our calendar will contain all game information you should need
including location, times, and kit color.
Times on the calendar
appointment are game start times, please arrive 30 minutes prior to this time
for warm ups. I also include the
roster in the body of the calendar appointment as well as a pre-game email
message. You can access the calendar
though the Blue Sombrero web site or on the web, but best to have it sync to
your device of choice.

ICL Schedule
Our
calendar has been updated with ICL league games. Everything is tentative, I will let you know when
there are changes. As of right now, the
games that appear on the 12th will be changed. I may also try to reschedule the game on the
morning of 6/1. Please also note that last fall, our pool was
in the U9 first division and the U10 third division. This spring we will be in the U10 second and
third divisions.
Tournament Schedule
Our
tournaments are on the calendar as full day appointments until I get the game
schedule. I generally don’t receive this
until 10 – 14 days prior to the tournament.
Rosters
Emory
and I will get game rosters out usually no later than the Thursday prior to the
weekend games. We will sometimes get
them out sooner if we have two materially different game times/dates for the
pool. Given that the coaching staff is
much more familiar with the athletes by now, this should be the latest they
come out.
Uniforms
Home
team wears gold (light) and away teams were blue (dark) BUT the body of our
calendar appointment as well as our pre-game email will tell you which color to
wear ! Always bring the opposite color. A day will come when a change is needed
through my fault or other reasons. Do
not assume that we are home or away based on the field location. For some reason, it doesn’t work like that.
Attendance
We
do not keep attendance at training so please do not notify me of any missed
training days. If your athlete will miss
an entire week it might be a good idea to send us a note. Please notify me of any missed games at least
a week prior to the game. I understand
other things come up but if it is something scheduled, it will be helpful to
have this information when Emory completes the rosters.
Training
Training
will be on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays.
There was a typo in a previous message I sent on this topic. Exact times will come out later and the
calendar will be updated. Emory will not
be doing “street soccer” on Wednesdays as the athletes should be able to handle
the third training day by this time of the year. Please wear blue and no jewelry.
Training Locations and Field
Closures
Our
first location is at Shelbourne. If the
weather is nice, but wet, or if the fields are “healing” we will have an
“Alternate Outdoor” location that I will have added to our insurance. Two days a week, we will have backup rights
to Georgetown. With more than 24 hours’
notice I will send training location via email.
Less than that, I will generally send an email and send a One Call
message. If you don’t hear from me,
assume Shelbourne.
Please
let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
