General Information about Li'l Sambas Winter Programs

Hi everyone,

This email is the general information about location, uniform pickup etc. that you may need.  We will send a second email later confirming any information that is particular to each age group and your time-slots (either 10:30 am or 11:15 am).

The programs begin on SATURDAY November 30th at Ottawa University's LEES DOME.

• Double-check that you are registered to the correct programs: log into the website and click on "My Programs" in the top menu and you can view your program details (on a cellphone it is the button that says "Top" to drop down the top menu). If you believe you are registered for the wrong age group or time let us know.
• Important reminder for Wee Copas (pre-school age-group): A parent must be on the field with their kids at all times for the Wee Copas program. 
• Update on game times for the Saturday morning house league: The 6-7s groups will always play at 11:15 am, and the 8-9s and 10s teams at 10:30am. This only applies to the Saturday league games. 

General Information for all sessions and age-groups

If you are continuing from the previous session most of this will be familiar to you, and you can probably skip the remainder of this e-mail.

The sessions will be on the indoor turf field at the University of Ottawa Lees Dome on the Lees Campus of Ottawa U.

The entrance to the Lees Campus is directly opposite the LEES O-train Station on Lees Avenue. Once you turn onto the campus, follow the road. The parking is on the left and the dome is slightly further on the same road - you can't miss it!

Uottawa GeeGees Field

Note: The University of Ottawa has two campuses and two turf fields. Make sure you are heading for the Lees Dome or GeeGees Field on the LEES Campus, not Matt Anthony Field on the MAIN Campus.

Parking Lot G3 is where you should park and is on your left just after you enter campus. That is the parking for the dome and the dome itself is straight ahead on the same road. Parking passes will be handed out to you on the first day. We will have them just inside the doors at the dome.

A parent must be on the field with their kids at all times for the Wee Copas program.

For all other age groups, parents are welcome to watch from the sidelines. Masks are not currently mandated within the dome.

If you already have your uniform from one of our earlier sessions, you are good to go.

If this is your first time in the program and you have purchased a uniform, the uniform consists of shirt, shorts and socks and you will be able to try the sizes against your child to get the best fit. We have a wide range of sizes available.

Uniform Pickup: You can pick up your uniform at the field any time from 30 minutes before your first session. You will be able to try the sizes against your little one to make sure you get the right size.

If you are registered for the House League, you will need to pick up the pinnie with your team colour for this season, even if you already have the blue Li'l Sambas uniform.

You should purchase shin-guards for your little ones if they don't have them already.

If they already have soccer cleats, or you want to purchase them, great. However, if they don't have them, they will be absolutely fine with their regular running shoes or tennis shoes too.

Other than that, all they need are the basic things you would need for any program: a water bottle (prefilled), a sweater if you think they will be cold etc

We look forward to meeting you this weekend,

The Li'l Sambas Team
