An important safety message from the WSA Board of Directors

 

Westfield Soccer Families:

 

In conjunction with the Recreation Commission, Westfield Soccer is embarking on a campaign to improve the parking situation at the Houlihan/Sid Faye complex. The first step in the process was to lengthen the time slots allotted for Sunday matches to minimize the number of cars entering and exiting the parking lot simultaneously. The next step was to ask our coaches and referees to redouble their efforts to have matches run on time so as to avoid the same problem of excess traffic in the parking lot. The next steps involve all of you, we need your assistance, it is after all your children we are trying to protect.

This past spring a ten year old boy in Virginia was killed by a falling goal during a soccer practice (Read Article). All coaches, referees, parents and players are asked to pay close attention to the safety of the goals on the fields that they are using. As such the WSA would like to remind everyone of our Goal Safety Policy:

Let’s make sure a tragedy like this does not occur in Westfield. Goal safety is everyone’s responsibility!
