Wee Copas, L'il Sambas and Tangos programs start tonight
6 May 2022 @ 7:23 AM by Chris Surgeoner

Hi everyone,

Opening day is finally here for our spring soccer programs! We'll be getting underway at the field at Immaculata High School tonight.

Here are a few final notes about tonight as well as the information about uniforms, equipment and location that we had previously sent out.

Uniform Pickup: You can pick up your uniform at the field before your session tonight. You will be able to try the sizes against your little one to make sure you get the right size. The uniform consists of shirt, shorts and socks. Our supplier has let us know that one of the boxes of socks has gone missing in transit, and we may be short of some sizes of socks if it doesn't arrive today. If we don't have a specific size, we will get them to you next week.

  • Wee Copas (JK and SK) are on field two (the middle field)
  • Li'l Sambas (1st & 2nd grade) are on field one (the field closest to the entry gate on main street
  • Tangos (Grades 3,4 & 5) are on field three (the furthest field from the gate.

A parent must be on the field with you kids at all times for the Wee Copas program. Other than those parents, we ask that all parents and spectators watch from OUTSIDE the fence. There is a grassy hill that provides a good spectating area.

Washrooms are available, they are inside the school and can be accessed from the doors opposite the gate at the middle of the field. Once inside the building they are to your right (down the stairs/ramp)

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

Parking

There is loads of free parking at the school. There are spaces immediately on your right-hand side as you turn into the school grounds and a large car park at the top of the small incline beside the field and two other huge lots behind the school,

You may not park or wait on the access road between the entrance and the main car park as this causes congestion and creates a safety issue by blocking the view of other drivers at a time when there are a lot of kids and parents coming in and out. Any parents continually infringing this will be asked to leave the program

Location

The location is the field at Immaculata High School, 140 Main Street click here for map etc.

If you are driving the only access to the car parks is from Main Street (the entrance is next to the Subway sandwich shop). Please remember that Main Street has a well-used cycle lane that runs alongside it - please be careful as you enter or exit the school and do an extra shoulder check for cyclists. There is no vehicle access from the Echo Drive/canal side of the school, but you will be able to walk or cycle onto the campus from there.

Uniform

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.

Equipment

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), sweater or sun hat and sunscreen as required.

We look forward to meeting you tonight,

The Li'l Sambas Team
