TOURNAMENT PAPERWORK & FORMS

Player Medical Release

Kick it First Digital Registration

• A photo / scanned file of your team roster is needed to complete digital registration.

TIPS FOR ATTENDING

• Arrive at least 1 hour before your scheduled game to allow ample time to walk from the parking lot to the playing fields.

• NO DROPOFFS! Please do not stop in or along the driveways to drop off players or unload items from your vehicle. This slows the flow of traffic. We want to keep you moving!

• All parking is located in the grassy lot next to the church on Buell St. For safety purposes and to allow for emergency vehicles to pass through, PARKING IS NOT PERMITTED ALONG NEARBY ROADS (Buell St., Skyline Dr. or any streets near the park). Skyline Drive will be closed to local traffic only, and anyone violating this will be ticketed and towed at their own expense.

• We recommend bringing a wagon or cart for transporting items such as chairs, soccer equipment, etc. to the soccer field. If you are in need of help getting from the parking lot to the playing fields, inform one of the parking attendants. We have golf carts available to transport you to/from the parking area.

• With an influx of visitors, sometimes cell phone service is unreliable in the area of the tournament. We recommend taking note of game time and field number ahead of the event in case you're not able to access the tourney app or website. If you need help locating a field, assistance is available at registration or from a field marshall (driving the golf carts).

• Be prepared for weather! Rain, snow, sleet or sunny & warm. Our games will play as long as conditions remain safe.

• If you're interested in participating in our 50/50 or basket raffle, please bring cash.

• Vendors are available with a variety of food items to choose from. Bring cash if you're interested.

• Our tournament takes a village. We ask you to please be courteous to our parking attendants and tournament staff. They are generously volunteering their time to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone attending.
