SAFETY
Dear SYSA Membership:
We're ready to begin the FALL SYSA 2010 Travel season and IM season.
While everyone is excited to play soccer, we
are sending approximately 800 children and their parents onto the fields as well as
hosting other towns. We owe our children, our neighbors and our visitors a level of
respect and care. Please take a moment to review the following from a safety point
of view.
1) Please be very aware of entrance roadways to fields and do not park in
a manner that could block an emergency vehicle from gaining immediate access to our
fields.
2) Please be very aware of children when picking up or dropping off as we
have many children in motion (who may not be thinking about you).
3) Please do not park on the roads near the Charlotte Road entrance
to Phillips.
4) Please do not allow children / players in cleats to walk on the Jackson
Field Track. Please use the mats. If you see visiting teams walking or warming up on the
track please inform them politely that we ask that they not do so.
5) Please do not bring dogs to the fields. While any one dog may be a
non-threat, any dog may cause another dog to react. Children or adults can be caught in
the middle.
6) Please have each child bring water to every game, wear shin guards
under the socks, and pack 2 ice packs in their bag.
7) Please remember no jewelry is allowed other than emergency medical
jewelry that is completely wrapped. No exceptions for either practice or games. Do not ask
the coach to make an exception.
8) Please take responsibility to prepare your child with proper sun block
and bug spray as SYSA coaches will not be applying or supplying these to your children.
9) Please make sure as a parent that your child's coach knows how to reach
you at all times.
10) Please be aware of weather conditions and be prepared to pick up your
child should thunder or lighting approach.
11) Please be considerate of your coaches by being on time in picking up
your child after a practice or a game. The coach may not leave until every child is with
their ride home.
12) Please respect the Zero Tolerance Policy of SYSA. Do not criticize
referees or players. This is youth sports and we ask that adults set an example.
13) Please do not allow children / players to climb fences. Please
walk to entrance.
14) Please contact me at safety.sysa@gmail.com if you have any concerns or
questions either now or throughout the season.
The mission of SYSA is to provide a fun and safe environment for your
child to learn and to play soccer as well as being part of a team. We need your help
to make this work. By respecting the above, we should have a fun and safe spring season.
Thank you,
Chris Hawthorne
SYSA Safety Director
