Uniform Turn-In: BOYS SOCCER TEAM - MANDATORY

JV & Freshman Uniform Turn-In
Date: Wednesday, October 22nd
Time: 3:30pm
Location: CHS Soccer Stadium
Specifics: See Coach Blair's Note Below

Varsity Uniform Turn-In
Date: Wednesday, October 22nd
Time: 6:00pm
Location: CHS Soccer Stadium
Specifics: See Coach Blair's Note Below

Varsity jersey collection will be 10/22 Wednesday 6pm at the game field. Coaches will be collecting jerseys and transporting them to the CHS storage facility. Please make sure your son is there and on time. Coach Blair have some comments to close the season and we will turn it over to some seniors to give some remarks. This is a tradition for our seniors, they do this every year at jersey turn in. Please communicate to your son that being there is mandatory to not only turn in their jersey but to pay tribute to the seniors.

The last thing I will cover is the season end recognition. I have all league, all district, and academic all state information. All region and all state have not been selected yet. That info will come out after November 1 after the finals.

Coach Blair's Note:
This is for all 3 levels and is mandatory.

Failure to turn in your jersey will result in action being taken by my with the support of the school. It could involve grade reporting, etc.

Each athlete is required to turn in a home and away jersey and home/away shorts. Goalies need to only turn in shorts. Socks are yours to keep. Remember some kids played on multiple teams and have 2 sets of jerseys to hand in. You must turn in all items in order to be completly cleared.

If you son has a conflict he is required to have a parent stop by during that time and drop the uniforms off. Don't rely on others to turn in your jersey for you. This creates confusion.

Great Season! - Final Stats

Gentlemen,

It was a pleasure to be watch each of you play this past season. Though we (parents) would have liked to have seen the season extended, it was an honor and privelage to watch each of you grow and mature.

To the seniors, you are now moving on to the next phase of your life. Take what you've learned through playing the game of soccer and first, cherish it and more importantly apply the experiences as you move on to the next phase of your life!

Thanks for the memories!
