2023 Fall Rec Week 1 Newsletter
Stones River Futbol Club would like to welcome you to the Fall 2023 Recreational Soccer Season. If you are new to SRFC, we hope this is the first of many wonderful soccer experiences with our organization. For those who are back for another season, we appreciate your commitment to growing the beautiful game in our community.
Our Mission:
Make Soccer Fun, Accessible, Meaningful, and Lifelong.
Match Week 2 Games:
Saturday, September 16
Playmetrics App:
If you have not already done so, please download the Playmetrics App. Use the same login information you used to register your player to sign-in to the app. The app allows you to see game and practice schedules and chatting with your team. Having the app will also help keep you updated in real time should field status or schedules change. https://stonesriverfc.org/playmetrics
Jerseys:
Coaches should have picked up and distributed jerseys. If your player has not received one or is having issues with the one you received, please email uniforms@stonesriverfc.org.
Coach’s Shirts:
Shirts for coaches arrived Saturday. If you did not pick yours up, please stop by Saturday. They are in the meeting room.
Spectators During Practices
All spectators should remain outside the fences or on the hill at Field 3. All spectators should remain on the cart path or at the concession seating area on Fields 7 & 8. In the interest of player development and conserving training space each night, we ask that spectators watch from a safe distance rather than sitting around the field like they will do on game day. If you’re not a coach, you do not need to be on the field once training has begun.
Spectators During Games:
Spectators should sit on the OPPOSITE side of the field as the teams, coaches, and referees. Sitting on the same side as the players, coaches, and referees will not be permitted. Sitting behind the goals is prohibited, as well.
Game Day Coaching:
Coaches, please remember that you are experience makers. Let’s make sure those experiences are good ones. The primary goal in recreational soccer is to make and keep the game fun. Joysticking players and shouting for the duration of the match does not lead to a positive experience for anyone involved.
Parents,
Someone else has volunteered to coach your child. That person should be the only person coaching during games. Additionally, referees are not to be shouted out or harassed in any way. Cheer on your players. Leave the coaching and officiating to those that have been assigned to do so.
Please Secure Items in the Parking Lot
Make sure to leave any valuables at home or take them with you when you head to the fields. Theft in parking areas at athletic events is on the rise in our area. Please exercise caution when leaving anything in the back of your truck or visible in your vehicles.
Help Us Keep the Park Clean:
Please make every effort to keep your practice and game areas clean as you leave each day/night.
Pet Policies:
Pets are welcome at the Rotary Soccer Park but ARE NOT allowed inside the fences. This is true for practice nights and game days.
Parking:
Please only park in painted/labeled parking spaces. Our ability to get people in and out of our facility is greatly hampered when people park in undesignated places.
Lost and Found:
We have a lost and found box in the side room of the meeting room building. Access to it will be available on Saturdays or anytime the building is open. Also, an Adidas bag filled with Adidas training bibs/pinnies and a strap of Nike cones may have been accidentally picked up and removed from Field 2 Monday night. Those items should be dropped off at the lost and found or turned in to a club representative immediately.
