Clarification for 7-9th Grade GASA Soccer

This was emailed to many earlier from James Petrik

This information is relevant only to potential players who are also participating in track.

In an earlier e-mail, I indicated that I did not think there would be significant conflicts between track meets and GASA league soccer games. While this is largely true for the Middle School, the High School meet schedule does point to a number of game days on which there would be track meets. I say this is "largely true" of the middle school as there is one Saturday (4/25) on which there is a track meet at 4:30 in Nelsonville. Though we should be able to schedule the game so that your child could make it to the track meet, he/she would, of course, be participating in a track meet after playing a soccer game. With respect to the high school, there are, by my count, at least four days on which a track meet would directly conflict with a soccer game. Consequently, what I'd like to emphasize is the following: if you're child is participating in track, please be sure to compare the track and soccer schedules before signing up for GASA soccer. If you have already sent in your registration form and payment but now believe that it is impossible to do both, we will, of course, be happy to return your payment. Just let me know.

I apologize for the misleading nature of my earlier e-mail.
