SAFETY
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.
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.
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 players in cleats to walk on the
Jackson Field Track. They must use the mats. If you see visiting teams
walking or warming up on the track please inform them politely that SYSA
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), soccer
cleats or sneakers, and an ice pack.
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. Never
criticize referees or players. This is youth sports and we ask that adults
set a good example.
13.
Please do not allow children or players to climb fences
or trees.
14.
Please contact safety.sysa@gmail.com if you have any concerns or
questions.
