Travel parents: it is time to register online to work a shift or two during Fusion Fall Classic tournamernt first weekend November here: http://unitedsoccerallianceindiana.org/aboutus/volunteer/ Each travel team family is expected to work at least 3 hours to welcome guests, run the snack bar, line fields, direct traffic, be a field marshal (watch the game, check in teams). We also need a leader or two to man the HQ tents.

9. We've asked Hendricks Power to bring electricity to Brownsburg Soccer Complex. We will install some security lights and have a working snack bar next year. We also hope to power increased capacity pumps for both Avon and Brownsburg Soccer Complexes to help water the fields.
10. Turf management. Both Avon and Brownsburg Soccer Complexes were seeded this month and a great deal of weed killer was applied all summer and fall. The fields are looking better than ever (thanks also to Mother Nature last weekend). We seek a donated tractor and aeration equipment. One of the best treats for our fields is regular and deep aeration. Look next week for some dirt and newly planted grass repairing holes in several Brownsburg fields.
