Please have your athlete at the school by 8:30am. This is a drop off only meaning that the bus will not be taking people back to the school. Your athlete will need to coordinate a ride home from the game.

There is also a gate between Calvin College and GR Christian’s field that is typically locked that we will open that day so the commute will be easier for you and your team between scrimmages. I will ask you and your team to be prompt for each scrimmage…I have asked the referees to start promptly whether you are ready or not(running clock)…..trying to keep the day moving. Also you will be able to sub on the “fly”. No waiting for dead balls. We want this experience to be a learning one for you and your team. Each field will have a “Field Manager” and will welcome you to your field and help with the organization. If you have any further questions please respond to this email. We hope the day is a successful one! At the end of the scrimmages please bring your team to the parking lot by the new Athletic complex and we will guide you into the new athletic facility to where the lunches will be.
