Field direction for Area 5G (including Oak Ridge, Athens, Sweetwater, Louden, Lenior City, Kingston, and Onieda)
may be found at Area 5G Fields and Area 5B Fields.
Team practices will be held twice a week on weekdays in the early evening hours. They will practice at schools, parks, churches, etc. It is important that the players attend practice since that is where game skills and strategy are taught. During practice every player
should have a soccer ball, shin guards, and water. Region 390 supplies one practice ball for every two players on a team, so each player should bring a ball to practice to ensure enough balls for the whole team. The coach should be notified if a player will miss a practice or game so the coach can make necessary changes in the practice plan or game lineup.
Parents, please see that players have made arrangements to get home safely after practices and games. Please pick up your child on time. When you are late you force the coach and assistant coach to wait with your child due to your tardiness.
