K2+ World Cup Weekend - 9 & 10 November
The weekend ahead is the culmination of the Fall K2+ Soccer Season . . . WORLD CUP!
There will be no team drills this weekend. Instead, each team will play three ~20-minute games, with 5 minutes in between games to hydrate & move fields if necessary. I have added links to the schedules for you to review (bottom of email).
OPENING CEREMONY:
- The opening ceremony will start promptly at the scheduled start of each session introducing each team, so please plan to arrive 15 minutes early to your session (e.g., 7:45 for 8:00 AM session)
- Parents, siblings & grandparents should line up forming a “tunnel” that the players and coaches will run through en route to their first game.
- Milton Soccer will have a volunteer on hand to help the coaches organize the ceremony as well as to coordinate the start and end of each round of games.
- Milton Soccer will have 3’x5’ country flags and cowbells for the teams to run through with, but please note that both flags and cowbells should be returned for use in other sessions.
WORLD CUP is an exciting opportunity for the players to experience playing multiple teams in a round-robin tournament-style event.
Please note, however, that this is not a tournament where we crown a standalone champion; rather, World Cup is intended to be a celebration of the progress ALL players have made this season.
Milton Soccer encourages any “extras” that parents or coaches would like to plan for to show their team spirit, such as handheld flags, stickers, removable tattoos, and face paint. But please make sure you have any face painting, etc. done PRIOR to the games. Your games are meant to start promptly at their respective times as we do not want to go later and push other times!
