This article was forwarded to CYO Athletics, and discusses some of the medical risks involved in playing soccer, particulary in relation to concussions. It is important that athletes are continuously educated as to how to use proper technique when heading a soccer ball, and learn how to identify proper spacing with other players when making the decision to go for a header.
In addition, coaches, parents and athletes should all be able to identify the signs and symptoms of a concussion. For more information about concussion safety, visit the Lystedt Law section of the CYO Athletics website.

Soccer Playoff Brackets Posted
The playoff brackets are finally posted. The brackets are currently posted on the website, and will be updated with the teams on Saturday afternoon once we know the final results. Please keep a few things in mind for the playoffs.
Roster Form and Playoff Roster Eligibility Verification Form Procedure: Coaches must bring their rosters and a signed copy of the Playoff Roster Eligibility Verification Form. This form is online, must be filled out with all the kids on your roster that are present and eligible to play that game, verifying they have played the 3 of 7 and 4 of 8 games required to compete. All players on this form must also be on the original roster submitted to CYO Athletics at the time the rosters were due. Commissioners and staff will be at these games to verify all of your roster information is accurate and correct.
Please know if there is a child present, who is not on the roster or Verification form, AND THEY PLAY, your team will be subject to forfeit if it is identified by CYO Athletics they were not on the original roster. Coaches must bring BOTH of these forms to each game their team competes in during the post season.
Coaches need to make sure the rosters are in numerical order for the kids, so the staff and commission members can verify them quickly, and get coaches back to their pre-game duties.
Weekday Playoff Game Times: There will be playoff games during the week, and due to the field time we were given and the lack of fields given to us with lights, we will have to play most of those games at 3:30pm start times.
Weekend Procedure: As the playoffs begin this Sunday, Ross will be in the office on Saturday afternoon gathering the final scores and posting them. Coaches must call in their scores IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THEIR GAME so Ross can post the final playoff brackets. The number for that is 206-654-4643, and the proper email is cyoscores@seattlearch.org. The brackets will be posted by 7pm Saturday evening.
Commissioner Duties at Game: Please keep in mind the commissioners and staff members are there to verify playing time, and rosters. They are not there to referee the game. Do not look to the staff if you do not agree with a call, etc. The refs are there to ref, and it is there game to oversee.
Playing Time: Keep in mind playing time will be enforced at these games. Your kids must play 10 minutes PER HALF, or in the case of a goalie switch only they can play one half at a time. If you are not playing your kids the proper time, expect the staff member present to tell you, and ask that you put those kids in that have not played. Please see page 29 of your manual for consequences of violating the playing time policy. It is also listed below:
Infractions of the playing time policy will result in a warning for the 1st offense. If witnessed by a designated representative of CYO Athletics, warning will consist of a verbal address to the coach during the contest in question. If the playing time issue is not addressed by the coach within this game, the representative will confer with the sport commission and/or the Director of Athletics and a forfeit of the game and suspension of the coach may result.
Other than that please remember that this is CYO, and it is for the fun and enjoyment of the kids win or lose. Let’s have a great time in playoffs, and a great last week of soccer. See you out there!

Concerns From Seattle Parks and Rec
We have been notified of two things that CYO Athletics community members have been in violation of:
1) No one should be parking on the grass at Woodland Park during cross country meets (specifically there have been issues with people parking around the bathroom).
2) No dogs are allowed inside fenced areas at soccer fields (specifically the turf fields have had issues of this).
Please respect Seattle Parks and Rec green spaces, as we have the privilege of using these, we would like to continue being granted this privilege.

3rd Grade Schedules Altered
If you checked the 3rd grade schedule this morning, please check it again, as we changed some things in most of those divisions. We added some games, so you may have had a bye, but now have a game. We apologize for the inconvenience.

1st-3rd grade soccer schedules are posted
Please use the link on the side of this page to view your schedules. 1st-3rd grade schedules are officially posted. Please remember, that many times Mini and Micro games are sharing fields with other games, so try to use half of a field, or set up your micro fields in corners, to maximize space. It doesn't help anyone if the first team to show up sets up their playing field in the middle, because everyone will end up being cramped for space. Good luck this weekend!

1st-3rd grade schedules are not up yet. They will be up after next week's coaches meeting on 9/15.
