Happy Turkey Day!

 Happy Thanksgiving, Cielo Soccer Stars!  We are so grateful for our Cielo soccer family and all the joy you bring to our lives.  We hope you all have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving as we reflect on all that we have to be grateful for during these turbulent times.  We love seeing you every Saturday and hope you enjoy your week off and spend some time with family.  We will see you all back on Saturday, December 5th.

***********************HAPPY THANKSGIVING************************

Game 4 - Cielo is Rockin' the Fields

 We are so proud of all of our Cielo soccer stars!  You come every week, ready to play with winning attitudes.  It's going to be another wonderful day at the Waggoner pitch!  Thank you for coming prepared with everything you need, as it helps everything go smoothly.  Here are a few reminders, as it's easy to forget with our busy lives.

Reminders:

• Check-in on the ActivStars app Saturday morning (at the field or before you arrive)
• The app has been defaulting to the "Winter" season, so change it to "Fall 2020"
• All players and spectators need their temperature checked at our white tent
• All players need to mask-up
• Spectators must wear masks as well, unless maintaining a safe social distance from others
• 13-15 year old teams, Barcelona and Argentina, will be at Waggoner tomorrow, Nov. 21st
• 7-8 year old team, Thunderstorm, will be playing at 11 am tomorrow
• All other team times/locations are the same

See you at the pitch!

-Coach Sean and Erin

Game 3 - Wonderful Weather

 It's about time that the weather is finally cooling down to a balmy 75 degrees on Saturday.  It's a much needed reprieve from the hottest summer on record (and seemingly longest).  We greatly appreciate all you do to keep making our strange but fabulous soccer season going full steam ahead!  Thank you for checking in, taking temps, masking up, and doing it all with a smile.  We undoubtedly have the best site in the league, and it wouldn't be so without all of you.  We know check-in ran a little long last week with the extra temp checks, but we will hopefully speed things up tomorrow.

• 13-15 year old teams - All-Stars & Barcelona ONLY
• All-Stars and Barcelona will be alternating game locations (Waggoner & Patterson) due to fewer teams this season
• This Saturday, Nov. 14th, they will be playing at Patterson Elementary at 1:30pm
• 1211 E. Guadalupe Rd., Gilbert 85234

Game 2 - Recap & Updates ***MASK UPDATE***11/7/20

 ***We just received word from the corporate office, that masks are now REQUIRED on the field.  The policy changed since our post yesterday, so we are trying to keep up with ever-changing mandates.  Thank you so much for your continuing support*** #StrongTogether #StrongerCielo

Wowza!  What a great turn-out for the first game of the season!  I heard lots of positive feedback about our new game site, WAGGONER, including lots of shade and parking.  This Saturday should be much cooler, and we are excited for the fall weather!  We love the game portion of the season, and seeing the kids put their skills to work!

We received some updates regarding a few policy changes, due to the Covid restrictions and concerns, so bear with us.  You have all been doing such a wonderful job, going with the flow of all the changes, and we are so grateful for your support.

Soccer Protocol:

• Check-in 
• Check-in through the ActivStars app each week (it's open Saturday morning)
• I just confirm check-in when you arrive at the check-in tent
• Temperature checks
• Players AND spectators now need their temperatures checked upon arrival
• Illness / make-up 
• If your child is sick, please keep them home. 
• I can help you schedule a make-up class by playing an additional game when they are feeling better
• Masks
• Are required to be worn by players and spectators upon arrival and departure
• Once settled, spectators may remove mask when socially distanced
• Players are REQUIRED to were a mask on the field
• We know this is not ideal, but that little step will go a long way in making game day go more smoothly.
• Throw-ins
• Any call that would normally yield a throw-in, will now be a kick-in
• Please remind your kids of this changes, and we will reiterate it at the game as well
• 13-15 year old teams - All-Stars & Barcelona ONLY
• All-Stars and Barcelona will be alternating game locations (Waggoner & Patterson) due to fewer teams this season
• This Saturday, Nov. 7th, they will be playing at Waggoner

Again, we greatly appreciate your support and cooperation during these ongoing changes.  Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
