SOCCER SCHEDULE UPDATE

As temperatures continue to rise this summer, we are making a small adjustment to try and create a more comfortable playing environment for our players, coaches, referees, and families.

Beginning 06/19/2026 until the end of the soccer season, Friday evening soccer games will start 30 minutes later than originally scheduled.

Player safety remains our top priority. Because of the extreme heat, if temperatures are above 105°F 30 minutes before the new game time, Friday evening games will be canceled. This decision will be made with the well-being of our players in mind.

We encourage all participants to bring plenty of water and stay hydrated during games and practices.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
