Let the Games Begin!!! March 27th

 We are so excited for games to start this Saturday!  Please review the team assignments and game schedule below.  If you have any questions, email Erin at cielosoccer@gmail.com.   There will be four fields set-up up at Summit, and the fields will be labeled.  The original schedule that will be sent from ActivStars will have two "Summit United" teams, however, the 7-8 year old Summit United team has changed to Cielo Typhoons. Double rostered players have an asterisk * by their name, so be on the lookout (only a few).  The 7-8 year old teams are playing at two different hours, so double check the time for your child's team.

  • Go directly to our check-in table (normal spot) for temperature check and verify you've checked in

Last Practice & Team Breakdown

 In a blink of a eye, we are going to have our last practice...then it's we start games!  Tomorrow will be very important as we will be fine-tuning skills and scrimmaging in preparation for games next week.  Coach Sean will be breaking down teams and making final changes to the roster, so make sure you're there!  Any help on the field will be much appreciated to help position the kids properly and it's a good coaching experience, as the upcoming Desert Cup Tournament is parent-coached.  Sign-up early to save $20 on registration fees (link below).

Week 3 Practice & Gearing Up for Games!

 Hopefully, you've had a restful spring break, or if you're like us, it's just beginning!  We are excited to hop out on those fields tomorrow and hoping for some cool weather after a nice drizzle today.  Including tomorrow, we have two more practices and we are starting games! 

Most of you have done a great job of checking in on the app BEFORE practice which makes sign-in quick and painless.  All players still need to be signed-in at the table before they enter the field, but after a quick signature and temperature check, they are on their way!

If you have any questions, you can find me at the check-in table or watching practices.  Coach Sean and I are happy to help in any way we can!


See you at the pitch!

Week 2 Practice Info & Reminders

 Tomorrow is our first day of regular practice times, and we are so excited!  We know the location isn't ideal, but we weren't informed as to why were moved from the other locations and the most recent spot was conducive of an effective and fun practice.

A few things to remember:

  • Download the ActivStars app if you haven't done so already
  • Check-in on the app BEFORE you get to the field (makes check-in process quicker)
    • Even if you'd paid in full for the season, you still need to mark attendance on the app weekly
  • Sign-in at the table upon arrival
  • ALL players and spectators need their temperature checked before getting on the field
  • Uniform and practice pinnie purchases can be made online through the ActivStars website
  • Bring plenty of water - there will be no water available on site
  • Comfy clothes, cleats, shinguards, and a MASK

Practice Times:
  • 9:00 am - 5-6 year olds
  • 10:00 am - 7-8 year olds
  • 11:00 am - 9-10 year olds
  • 12:00 pm - 11-15 year olds
