CLICK HERE TO REGISTER for U15 and up Youth Soccer NOW - registration for all other leagues is closed.

The season is nearly here! Parents, you can expect to hear from your child's coach beginning as early as the week of the 8th of February. Some coaches will want to jump right into practices, some will squeak in a practice just before the season begins. 

Schedules as usual will be posted one week prior to commencement of games, so look for schedules going live on February 13, with opening day on February 20 for U4-U14, and schedules no later than March 16 with first games beginning March 23 for U15 and up .

Note that schedules change frequently, so check back A LOT!

We had a terrible week very recently.  TWO Evolution 02G players lost their dads, and CSA lost a couple of wonderful soccer parents. Heart wrenching. God Bless them. 

Ismael Orozco, loving dad of Evolution 02G soccer monster Nicole  and her siblings, and sweetest-ever husband of Jacqueline, passed away on Feb 8th in Denton.

Our hearts go out to the Orozco family. Ismael, we sill miss you on the sidelines, we'll miss your wit and your wonderful support of your girl that translated to her whole team. Many have asked if they can do something for the family, here's an option: Click here to go to the GoFundMe page set up by a friend of theirs.  

All of our best to Jacqueline, Nicole and the entire Orozco family. Please let us at Colleyville Soccer know how we can help now and in the future.

Aaron Watson, team manager of Evo 02G and dad to rockstar keeper Cam Watson (and loving husband to Jane, adoring dad of Cam and Westin) was lost in the 130+ car accident on Feb 11 on I-35. Those who knew Aaron, and that was soooo many of us, are aching right now at the thought of not seeing him on our sidelines or on the bench with his team.  So many have asked what they can do, and a friend of theirs did set up a GoFundMe page you can reach by clicking HERE.

Mary, Cam and Wes, our thoughts and prayers are with you. All of your friends at Colleyville Soccer are always here for you.

If you can assist these families via the Gofundme accounts set up for both our dear CSA/EVO dads, I know the Watson and Orozco families would be very pleased to see support from their Colleyville Soccer community.

Interesting tidbit, soccer seems like the perfect Covid-era activity, and the lack of transmissions which are soccer-related seems to bear this out. Still, we have some rules of behavior and etiquette at practices and games that, if followed, will mean everyone can have a safe and fun season...There has been just one known transmission through soccer that we know of...and it was a kid sent to practice after being tested but without results returned...better judgment, please! We each have a responsibility to each other, so let's take great care of one another again this season!

Some of the following has changed, so please read on!

Here are the FAMILY RULES OF PLAY:

1) Only send WELL KIDS to practice and games! Check temperatures and don't assume a cough is unimportant, get it checked out before bringing your child to games or practices. IF THERE ARE FAMILY MEMBERS IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD WHICH ARE SICK, DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO PRACTICE NOR GAMES. If someone in the house is ill, it's likely all are exposed and need to take precautions. 

2) Sanitize player's gear before practices and games. This is a suggestion from the Governor's office. The concept of sanitized soccer gear sounds like an oxymoron, but it's sound advice. We will be supplying hand sanitizer when we can buy it, but while we're trying to do that, don't count on it, the stuff is hard to source. Bring your own and let's have everyone wash their hands a lot!

3) Play is entirely voluntary, as always. Just like the signups before any season begins, the only kids that will play are those that signed up for it. Some parents are extra cautious and we applaud that, while still applauding those that wish to have their kids play. In the end, most kids have a small group of friends they've been not-social-distancing with. I believe the Governor, when he approved play, was merely recognizing we might as well get all these low-risk kids outside to play and be healthy, since they are all on the short list of pals to hang with during this weird time. In the end, as it has always been and will always be, all players are the responsibility of their parents, and we won't ever suggest that anything about recreational sports is mandatory. 

4) Spectators will distance. We learned a new phrase this year, "social distancing" has become a permanent part of our lexicon. We're asking that only one parent per child attend practice to avoid crowds, and we ask that all parents maintain a 6' distance from others. At games, we are not setting any limit on spectators, but the same distancing needs exist. To make this easier, we're moving teams AND SPECTATORS to BOTH sides of the playing fields to provide twice the area for distancing.  We have asked the City to add an extra stripe 6' off the sidelines as a distancing line...spectators please stay behind this line so players and refs are given a bit of added room, and please stay a minimum 6' from all players on each sideline. We also gave up a whole soccer field...Field 3 is missing, as a means of putting greater separation between remaining fields. 

If we do hear of someone becoming ill that had any contact with our players or parents we will, as we have the last two seasons, contact all families of teams involved and notify them of the potential exposure so they can get tested or quarantine as they feel is appropriate given the level of exposure. We will then cancel all practices and games for the following two weeks. This process has served us well for two seasons and does get  a tweak or two as each season progresses. Thanks to our wonderful VP of Coaches, Christy Putty for managing these notifications to team officials and families, and to Dr. Brad Putty for his direction in putting these processes into place. 

Concessions will be open, and hot food has returned as well, just like last season. Huge thanks to our concessions staff, we know the added face coverings, gloves, etc, are unpleasant, and we look forward to them being a thing of the past in 2021 at some point, hopefully sooner rather than later!

Please tip the concessions workers extra well since they're going to have to wear uncomfortable masks and are dealing with downturn in business, like so many are now. Thank you to the wonderful folks, most especially Concessions Manager Glynda Smith and Head Referee Derrell Pitcock for making our concessions happen!

Masks are not required by spectators nor players because we are outside, but anyone more comfortable wearing one is encouraged to do so. 

Special Thanks to Lisa Escobedo and Chris Haworth of the City of Colleyville, THANK YOU SO MUCH from the kids and parents at Colleyville Soccer! 

Have a safe and healthy season, distance when at the fields, wash your hands every time you think about it. I look forward to seeing you on the pitch!

Lightning is a severe hazard that must be viewed seriously.  Everyone should immediately seek shelter any time they believe lightning threatens them, even if a signal has not been sounded. Shelter means go to cars or home, the shade structures at the fields provide NO PROTECTION from lightning!

The City of Colleyville has the Perry lightning prediction system in place at the Pleasant Run Soccer Complex.  It sounds one 15-second blast of the horn which signals everyone to suspend activities and immediately seek a safe shelter such as inside a car or buildling.  (If equipped, a strobe light will begin flashing and remain flashing until safe conditions return).

You may resume activities after three 5-second blasts of the horn are sounded and the strobe light, if equipped, stops flashing. If you remain outdoors after the warning is issued, you do so at your own risk!!!

How to Become a Referee in North Texas

 The North Texas Referee Program welcomes over 2500 new referees each year. We serve the game in over 100 local associations from Lubbock to Lake Highland, Amarillo to Arlington, Cedar Hill to Corsicana – chances are YOU live close to a soccer association.

Typically, new referees work for their local association.

 HOW TO GET STARTED:

 Requirement – you must be 13 or older

1. Sign up for a GRASSROOTS COURSE (takes approximately 4-5 hours to complete. The first part of this course is done online (in the comfort of your home). Please complete this course within a 5 day (or less) period of time once you sign up. There will be a deadline when the course will closed. Once it is closed, you will not have access to it.
2. Once you complete your grassroots online portion of the course, you will automatically be enrolled in the GRASSROOTS FIELD SESSION. This second part of the course is done IN PERSON. This session will be 3.5 hours.

We will need everyone to have completed the training so they can focus on field training information.

Understand, that the Grassroots Referee course is a two-step process: GRASSROOTS COURSE (done online) GRASSROOTS FIELD SESSION – done in person at a specific venue. You must complete BOTH in order to be registered as a 2021 USSF Referee
