CPI Flat Branch Fields open this week (rules and regulations of park) 2nd REMINDER
We opened the CPI fields last week. It is important I send out a 2nd reminder of rules and regulations at the park.
 
1, the main gate that drives to the back of the school where the bus parking lot is will not be open till 6pm, so all cars must be parked at the front of the school in the designated parking area ONLY.  There is after school programs that don’t finish till 6pm and the school needs to be concerned with these children crossing the road prior to 6pm. After 6pm cars will be able drive into the school and park around the back but AGAIN ONLY IN DESIGNATED PARKING AREAS.
2, parking for parents must be in specified parking areas ONLY.  You will be ticketed if you park on street or in an unmarked parking area. 
3, this is a trash free park and we want to keep these fields in the best shape possible, please remove all trash after each session and place them in trash bins or take it with you.

Communication. The key to a successful club. 
This will be on all my updates. Good communication is the key to as successful club. All families in the club should have the accessibility to communicate with your team coach and DOC throughout the season. Our coaches are reminded to have periodic meetings through the season to keep families up to date on the progression of the team. Myself and the DOC’s emails are on the website if you need to communicate with us. If you need to talk in person, we are in the office each day and if you do not reach us directly, we will return a call in a timely fashion to address any questions or concerns. We have a fantastic full time staff here at CSA and some great team coaches. If you have any issues with your team, club etc please do not allow a problem to persist. Communicate with the staff so we can deal with it and move on in a positive way.  
 
Thanks
Have a great week

Executive Director CSA
