Co-Ed Soccer starts this Monday (June 10)!

Our next session of co-ed soccer this Monday (June 10). Right now, we play the bulk of games on Monday and use Wednesday for overflow.

Because of the quick turnaround, I am asking for all teams that plan to enter to go to www.thefieldhousenh.com and register their team in the next day or so. This will allow me to get a schedule out this weekend.

Also, if anyone is looking to be placed on a team because their regular team is taking a break or they are a free agent, please register as a free agent at www.thefieldhousenh.com in the next day or two. I will put free agents teams together. Having seen almost every game that's been played here, I have a relatively good handle on matching people to make up competitive teams.

Thanks, and I look forward to seeing you back on the turf.

Jim

Weekend Weather Update

All games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday in soccer and basketball are still on schedule.

A Reminder About Good Sportsmanship to Fans, Players and Coaches

Sportsmanship: fair and respectful behavior or treatment of others

This is just a reminder for the people who have may have forgotten.

Having spent countless hours here, I can say with near certainty that 95 percent of the people that come through our doors to play, coach or root for their family or friends display great sportsmanship. Thank you. But I do believe we should expect 100 percent.

In the past week we have had:

A coach confronted by the parent of the opposing team in the parking lot

A coach and a player kicked out of a game and a parent walk on to the field to confront a referee

Two parents yelling at each other behind the goal area, using profanity and making my staff worry that a fight may start. And this was on a Sunday morning for a kid's game with a table of Girl Scouts selling cookies right behind them.

Root for your kids, cheer them on. Applaud fair play. Don't tolerate dirty play, being a bully or the need to argue with officials, coaches or other parents. Practice good sportsmanship.

The instances of having to think about removing someone from the facility have been few and far between until recently. So, here I am writing a reminder and asking people to display something that seems so basic: Good sportsmanship.

Pass it on.
