Last Practice on Saturday - Games Begin Soon

This Saturday, March 18th (Cielo Elementary) is our last practice of the Spring 2017 season.  Our first game will be next Saturday, March 25th.  We will have the following information available at the check-in table tomorrow:

Game Schedules:

• Dates of the games for the remainder of the season
• Game times

There is an important change for the 10-15 year-old age group, but we will have that information available tomorrow, and Coach Sean will explain after practice as well.  

Also, I have had issues sending mass emails to the group all season, and it's not been resolved.  Please just remember to check the blog for updates and important information.

Soccer and Believe Kids!

We are looking forward to another beautiful day on the field tomorrow.  Let's enjoy the weather before it gets too hot, because that happens fast!

ActivStars is also beginning its seasonal fundraiser with Believe Kids!  Here's an message from ActivStars:

ActivStars is committed to providing the best quality programs at the lowest cost possible.  This fundraiser will help offset rising expenses, so we can continue to keep our class fees as low as possible.  These funds we raise will also help fund scholarships for children in need.  Please helps us with these causes!

We are asking every family to participate.  All athletes that see at least 10 items or more will be entered to win the Android Tablet and a $25 Amazon gift card.  We are counting on these funds for the benefit of every child.  This funding does not come from other sources, so you participation, at any level, is critical.  Thank you for your support!

We will have the fundraiser packets tomorrow at practice. Participation is optional, but it really helps to maintain a high level of quality and low cost.  Their goal is for each child sell at least 10 items, but any amount will help!

We are so proud of our Cielo Family!
