Some friendly reminders:
Parking: Parking on the grass is NOT permitted. There will be signs posted and the league is responsible for all damage caused. Please be diligent to park in a marked spot or along a cement curb.
Ball: Size 3. We recommend you bring a ball with you to use during practice.
Equipment: Every player must have shin guards on and soccer cleats. Shin guards MUST be worn under long socks and cleats may not be metal or have a toe cleat.
Parents are responsible for the conduct of their child while on property. The nets are portable and no child is allowed to hang on the nets or bars.
* By the end of September and beginning of the spring season, it can get cold in the early am. Dress your child in layers. I have found it successful to wear an UnderArmour type shirt under the jersey and have a pair of knit gloves and hoodie around. There are no regulations on the pants or shorts. So wear what feels comfortable but make sure the waist is snug and the length is not too long (to avoid tripping).
* The kids need shin guards and recommend they bring a ball each game so they have one to use during that first 30 minute practice.
* Bring a drink for your child to utilize during the game.
* For spectators... bring your chairs and blankets. On the colder days the kids that are not playing can usually be found snug in their chair under a blanket. The ground is especially dewy (is that a word?) during the early morning hour games. If you have a blanket that has a water resistant side bring that in case your player (or other family members) wanted to sit on the ground and watch.
*Please remember only Coventry Soccer Association CLEARED VOLUNTEERS are allowed on the "Team Side". All spectators and siblings not playing must sit on the opposite side of the field from the team. We thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
*Please refer to Coventry Soccer Association -PA's Player and Parent Code of Conduct for more information.
