Managers and Coaches:

In addition to mailing in the game report gards, please send all scores to scores@eatsidekickers.org after every game, for both boys and girls. This will be sure that the scores get to the right people for posting on the league websites.

In addition, game reports and/or photos can be sent to webmaster@eastsidekickers.org. I'd love to see us posting information about the games on the website.

But you don't have to take my word for it....Read it in the Heights Observer!

*NOTE* @ESK_Alerts may supercede this information

[b]Tryouts are complete, if you didn't make it to tryouts but played previously, we have your rating and will place you on a team[/b]

We had 2 more games canceled yesterday, bringing our total up to 31 postponed games. 10 of those games have not been rescheduled yet. Six of those are home games, ALL of them at Monticello. We will do our best but some of those games will not be made up.

[b]Field Status:[/b]
Monticello: OK to play (prepare for some mud)
Canterbury: The Grass is cut, field is available. Caution: one rut on east side touchline.
Forest Hills: One field unplayable. Field closer to playground has one bad spot, but we can use it. You might need to move the goal forward a bit.
Boulevard: Unusable for games due to turf damage. OK for practices
Roxboro: OK. We are looking at moving 6v6 games here.

[b]Have a nice Memorial Day weekend, and think sunny thoughts for the next couple of weeks.[/b]

With Girls Tryouts canceled, we will try to find another time. Of course, the big issue is that we have so many makeup games scheduled.

U8 Boys at Mentor are playing at Mentor Beach Park, not at Kruger Park. If you use the address given on Google Maps, you're a little off, because maps get confused by the difference between Lakeshore Rd in Mentor and Lakeshore Rd in Mentor-on-the-lake. If you're having problems finding it, use the address of the "Skateland One", 5615 Andrews Road Mentor-on-the-Lake, OH 44060 then go straight North on Andrews, it will end at Mentor Beach Park. http://goo.gl/maps/pM85

The U11 boys are playing at Liberty Park in Twinsburg. The OASL map places you a little noth of where you want to be. The entrance to the park is near 9297 Liberty Rd, Twinsburg, OH 44087 http://goo.gl/maps/gsIn . Take 271 to 480 East. Get off on the Rt. 82 exit, Left on 82 (Aurora Rd), it becomes Cannon Rd, then turn left on Liberty. The park is on the right.

Centers of Excellence is canceled for May 3rd. Canterbury just isn't in condition to handle today's rain. We are checking to see if we have permission to hold make up dates on Tuesday, May 24th at Canterbury and Thursday, May 19th and 26th at Roxboro. Please stay tuned for updates.

NOTE: THERE IS A U10 Game Scheduled for Boulevard this evening. IF WE PLAY IT, IT WILL BE MOVED TO MONTICELLO. (A police vehicle drove onto the field at Boulevard and damaged the turf). We will evaluate at 2:15 and decide whether Monticello is playable. Please stay tuned.

Fields are saturated and are going to need a few days of dry weather to be usable. We will contact coaches about alternate practice arrangements.
