This Week's Schedule

This week's schedule is a bit unusual, so thought it would be helpful to clarify.

Tuesday (3/22): Practice from 6-8pm at the Rugby Athletic Center/STAX.  This is for both A and B teams.

Thursday (3/24): Both A and B teams have games at 6pm at Ramblewood Soccer Complex.  The games start at 6pm, but we are asking all players be there by 5:30 (or earlier!) to warm up.  The A team is playing Cuthberston on field 4a and the B team is playing Invest Collegiate on field 4b.

Inclement Weather Policy Reminder

With the potential for some rain tonight, I want to remind everyone of - or mention for the first time - the inclement weather policy.  We can play in all weather conditions unless there is lightning or the field site closes.
