Game Day Reminders

Happy Game Day! ⚽️🎉  Please read game day reminders to ensure you are ready to go.

1. REGISTRATIONS: Every poet-athlete must have a registration to play (online or hard copy). This is a safety measure: registrations ensure that our insurance covers them in case of injury. Register here: register.dcscores.org 

2. AWAY TEAM - Bus: Bus pickup is 3pm. Please be prepared to board the bus at that time. If you do not see the bus, please call the driver and check around the building. If there is no bus by 3:25pm, please call your site coordinator. The bus driver should have your number, but please get their number when you get on the bus so you can coordinate after the game.

3. GAME TIME: Boys/Girls: The first game will kick off at 4pm* and the second will kick off at 5pm. Games should finish between 5:45-6pm, meaning you should be back at the school between 6-6:15pm. (Please see Gameday Notes for who plays first.) COED: The game will kickoff at 4pm and end around 5pm. 

4. LEAGUE RULES: https://coach.dcscores.org/middle-school/soccer-ms/msleagues 

5. GEAR: Please make sure your poet-athletes have their gear: jerseys, shinguards, socks, cleats or sneakers, and water. Shin guards are required.

FOR FAMILIES: Please refer families to the Gameday Expectations for Families on our website.

Please note: If you cannot play, you must notify your site coordinator as soon as possible. *If a team is not ready to kick off by 4:10pm, this may result in them forfeiting. Please see the FY25 Spring League Updates for details regarding rescheduling & forfeits. 

Any questions? Please let your site coordinator know. Good luck and have fun! 

Need cleats? Nominate a few special poet-athletes for Boots From Pros.
