Schedule & Assigned Fields
TBD
Check-In Process
- All players must check in daily at the tent closest to their assigned field before reporting to their coach.
During check-in: - Players will be issued a pinnie (training vest) with an assigned number.
- A photo will be taken of each player wearing their pinnie. This photo is uploaded to our internal system (BYGA) and helps coaches match faces to names during the tryout evaluation process.
- Families may opt out of the photo if they prefer. If you choose to opt out, please notify a staff member at the check-in tent. Your decision will be respected, though please note the photo aids coaches in making fair and accurate assessments during tryouts.
- Please ensure your player arrives on time and checks in each day to help us stay organized and maintain accurate attendance.
- If you have any questions or concerns about the check-in process or photo use, please see a staff member at the check-in tent.
