posted 04/27/2012 First, a huge THANK YOU to all the volunteer coaches. Many of you did not plan on coaching, but stepped up to ensure that all teams had coaches. Please offer to help your child's coach in any way. The coaches may need to be absent for work or family obligations, and it would be very helpful if they had you as a back up. MSA would not exist without its volunteers.
Weather Policy
Soccer is played in the rain! MSA will not cancel games due to rain, unless we have to close a field that has standing water. Any affected team will be notified via email and postings on the web page.
Severe weather is another matter. Safety must come first. Immediately evacuate the fields in the presence of thunder and/or lightning. You may not return to the fields until 30 minutes without thunder and/or lightning has passed. If the weather forecast predicts continuous thunderstorms or tornado warnings, MSA may cancel games. Watch for emails. Please do not call, but watch email and the web page. If it is stormy at your house, it may not be across town at the fields, so plan on arriving for your game if you didn't get an email. You are always free to make a decision ot keep your child home if you think the weather presents a danger.
Concession Stand at MSA Park
We are excited to offer concessions at MSA Park this season. Menu items include water, coffee, fruit, smoothies, sandwiches, and snacks. Bring money! This is a fundraiser for MSA. The menu is posted on the web page.
MSA Park Improvements
The drive has been improved this spring. We are trying to alleviate the mud, especially toward the back of the park. This is where the fundraiser money goes, so buy concessions! Future plans include additional field construction, more driveway improvements, and a permanent concession/restroom/storage facility. Hopefully, a playground will be built also.
Enjoy the games. Cheer loudly for the kids. Thank your coaches!
