We are excited to kick off our spring season tomorrow, Saturday, March 7th. We wanted to send out a few reminders to make sure that everyone is in the know. All games will be played at Den Harder Soccer Complex (formerly Crossroads Park), located at 6600 Research Loop, Temple, TX 76502. Please be sure to check the schedule on the website, www.centexstorm.com, for game times and fields. All players need to wear cleats and
have their shin guards under their socks.

1) This weekend’s games are a great opportunity for our coaches to learn more about their team and can teach their players the great game of soccer. While it can be tempting to coach your child from the sideline, please leave that job to your coach. We want this to be a positive experience for our players so please encourage and cheer for them!

2)  Weather. We are closely monitoring tomorrow’s weather forecast. At this time, we are planning to play as scheduled. We do play in rain. We will clear the fields if lightning strikes within 10 miles and will stay off for 30 minutes after the last strike within that radius. If that happens, game times and lengths could be changed. If there are any changes or field closings, we will let everyone know by 7:30 AM through your coach, our website, and social media.

3) No Referee Abuse. Yelling and harassing our referees will not be tolerated. There is absolutely no reason to speak to the referees. If this happens, you will be asked to leave the field and will be subject to our Disciplinary Committee. If an issue arises that needs to be addressed, please talk to your coach after the game.

4) Leave your dogs at home. While dogs are allowed at the Pepper Creek Trail and on the frisbee disk golf course, they are not allowed at the athletic facilities, not even the friendly ones. If you still choose to bring your dog, you will be asked to leave it in your car or take it home.

Please remember the goal of recreational soccer is to have FUN!!! We look forward to seeing
everyone this weekend.  We really appreciate you being a part of the Centex Storm family. If
you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].
