Referee Assigner / Field Maintenance Report Jesse Yeager Fields are in good shape. We rotated them in order to keep them that way. The reason we moved the U-4, 5, 6, & 7 fields to the east side at shelter cove was to work with the town on the parking problem. Any teams wanting to scrimmage at Shelter Cove or Oak Park need to contact Jesse. Teams using a trainer will be allowed to train at Oak Park and Shelter Cove all other reams should practice at the schools. Jesse went over the new NO Tolerance Law, which states that if a parent or coach is kicked out of a soccer match you will not be able to attend any youth sporting event. Pete Fitzsimmons reminded the membership that the town must adopt this. He is sure that they will, and we will have to set up a liaison to enforce this at that time.
