Need help with what time you play?

Clock 

Managers, for away games contact your opposition by phone to find out your game time and location.  For home games, contact your own field scheduler and then contact your opposition by phone to let them know. 

 

Note, most club websites post game times and locations under "Field Schedules".  This is a good way to find out if fields are open.  If in doubt always call your opposition.

 Who's on your team?

 Karen Thompson

LISA Staff Member

 

 Did you know the office has two Karens?

 

Karen Thompson works Wednesday and Fridays

 

How we found her

She came in to find out about player insurance after the end of the season and ended up with a job.

 

Her kids

Anna now coaches in Grand Prairie and William's team won the 2003-2004 Boys U18 Metro provincial championship.

Postponing a game? 

 Contact your opposition to see if they will agree to postponing.

 

If they agree, put it in writing to your score recorder.

 

cc: your opposition (this will alert the opposition if there was any confusion regarding the agreement).

 

cc: Head Scheduler Brian Davis (ag9@telus.net)

 

Include the date when you will replay the game.

 

Ensure you replay the game!
