Burin Minor Soccer Update

The Burin Minor Soccer committee would like to remind all parents that any cancellations that occur due to weather or tournaments will be announced on CHCM recreation Report. It is impossible to call every player about cancellations, therefore we are asking that you each morning to the recreation report for updates, etc. If at any time you have any questions or were unable to listen to the report please call the soccer hut at 891-5252. The schedule for the peninsula tournaments can be found directly below this update. All tournament game area 10am start time unless otherwise notified. The places are on the site but are subject to change. There is a bus provided for the under 12, 14 & 16 players. We are asking each player to bring along $2 to help cover the cost of the bus trip.

Any concerns or issues please call me at 891-2394 or leave a message with allison at the soccer but and I will get back to you.

In order to make this program a success, we all need to work together for the sake of the kids. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated to help improve our program.

Thank you
