The purpose of Soccerfest is to give all players a chance to experience the fun and excitement of a tournament regardless of ability or record. Soccerfest, great fun for the participants with that special atmosphere of excitement and camaraderie for parents, families and friends, consists of at least two games where participation and sportsmanship are emphasized.
The dates for the 2008 Soccerfest are:
- U8 Boys and Girls - June 21, 2008
- U10 and above Boys and Girls - July 19 & 20, 2008
Equipment
All players will be required to wear shin guards. If the shin guards are the type that strap to the leg, they must be completely covered by knee socks. If they are the "all in one" type that is completely covered with padding and elastic, extra socks covering the shin guard are recommended but not mandatory.
Team shirts will be provided and must be worn at all games.
Shorts with zippers are not allowed but any other color or style of shorts is acceptable.
All jewelry must be removed during the game including tongue studs. This is important to consider when getting any new piercings. Even if the piercing is still healing, your child will be required to remove the jewelry or he/she will not be able to play.
Soccer shoes can be worn but are not required.
Ball sizes for each age group are: TBA
Sportsmanship
Overall, 2007 was an outstanding year for the Green Bay Strikers. We are grateful to all of our volunteer coaches, supportive parents and referees for their commitment.
While the vast majority of coaches and parents conducted themselves appropriately, last year we unfortunately had a few situations where people let their competitiveness get the best of them and lost their cool. As a result, going forward the Board will continue taking a very strong position against negativity in all forms, and encourage good sportsmanship. Coaches, parents and players who violate the spirit of our program by degrading players, referees or others using foul language, or otherwise deprive others from enjoying the game, will be suspended and/or expelled from the program. The League's Division Coordinators will have the authority to take the appropriate action. All parents, coaches and players are required to sign a Soccer Sportsmanship Commitment contract to signify their commitment to these goals.
Remember, the Green Bay Strikers are dedicated to having fun while learning the game of soccer. Through family involvement, we foster team spirit, sportsmanship, social development and a positive self-image. Players of all backgrounds, ages and abilities have an equal opportunity to participate, excel and enjoy the game.
Game Cancellation
The decision to cancel a game is made at the field at game time by the referee. In the case of 5's and 6-7 year olds where there no referees, the coaches will decide whether the game should be cancelled.
