Hello parents,

It’s so great to be back outside practicing on the grass! It was great to see you all last night and we’re looking forward to Saturday’s session (and have your players dress for the weather!). The coaches have assigned some homework for the girls to review and work on. Please have your players watch these videos, or seek out similar videos on the same topics:

A few other notes:

• Please mark your players attendance for the currently scheduled sessions, ASAP. If you are going to mark week-to-week, please mark for the following week by Friday.
• We have been in touch with EMDSL about the game field assignments since many are still TBD. There was a delay in getting the field assignments from the city, but once the site is populated, we’ll fill out the rest of the schedule with field locations.
• No jewellery! Please have your players remove all jewellery prior to practices and games. This is for your player’s safety and the safety of all players on the field. A referee may not let a player on the field of play if they have any jewellery on.
• Oakridge Soccer is hosting a picture day at Hazelden on Saturday, June 15. We have requested the 9-9:15 timeslot for our team. We’ll send a reminder about this closer to the date.

Your Oakridge Flames Coaches
