Socks--All players need dark green socks which cover their shin guards.  I do have socks for purchase if needed.  Socks are $6.00 a pair.  

Rain--We will practice in light rain, as long as field conditions are safe for players.  Please make sure players are prepared to practice in the rain.  Cleats are best for safety on a wet field, and players can wear a light rain jacket if they wish.  Most important is dry clothes (and socks) to change into after a wet practice.  We never practice outdoors in thunderstorms or when storms are in the area.  Also, if the fields are soaked and have standing water, we will not play or practice outside.  

Safety: We are thrilled to have several new players joining us this year.  Unfortunately, the weather has made it impossible to practice in a normal way.  This means we have not had the chance to prepare all new players for game play.  It is possible that new players will not play in the first game in order to allow more time to develop basic skills and ensure safety on the field for all.  We know this is difficult for excited new players, however, safety is our first priority, and all players need a basic level of skill before taking the field.  Thank you for your support in this matter.  

Away Games: all players must ride the bus to the game afterschool.  Please make arrangements for pick up at the away location around 5:15.  There is NO BUS HOME so all players must have rides from the game location.  If your player needs a ride, please reach out and let me know.  Coaches can provide rides back to CHMS if needed.  If your child will ride with another adult (other than a parent/guardian) please send me an email and let me know that you give permission for your player to leave with someone other than a legal guardian--without this permission I can not release a player.  Directions to all away game locations are on the website. 

Sign out after games: Again this year, an adult who is authorized to take each player will need to sign them out after both Home and Away games.  This is for player safety and helps coaches to be sure all players are with a responsible adult after the game.  Thank you for your help with this.
