WHY NOT, I say! Yes, this is the opening weekend for CASL challenge and recreation play and the CASL staff are as excited as the players are about this! The fields are in good shape for spring (spring is tougher than fall due to it not being bermuda grass growing season and the cold winter hurt the rye overseed, but the fields are in pretty good shape) and the fields are lined. The referees are ready as well. Most everyone has multiple practices under their belt...........so........let's begin!
One reminder: CASL expects sportsmanship from all participants which includes players, coaches, parents and referees. Think before engaging your mouth and think "would I want this to be said to me in a similar circumstance!" Most times the answer is no and if the thought process comes first there is a good chance that it won't be said. Cheer on your own team, even cheer a good play by the other team (they are somebody's kid, as well). However, DO NOT make negative comments about opposing players or referees-this helps no one.
Have fun with our beautiful game and we'll see you on the pitch!
