INFORMATION ABOUT THE SEASONS
Hello again from SMSC.
The South Mississippi Soccer Club and the City of Gulfport Youth Soccer League have teamed up this year to bring the youth of south Mississippi the best overall soccer experience possible.
We are doing something a little different this season with the U5-U12 teams.
The U5 - U8 age groups that will pick back up with a spring season and play from January 23, 2010 until March 27, 2010.
The U10-U12 teams will resume games January 23, 2010 until the SMSC Club Tournament March 27, 2010.
Players in the U14 and older age groups will mail in their registrations for their regular schedule of games beginning with the Turkey Shootout Tournament and playing through the SMSC Club Tournament near the end of March. These older teams will be traveling occasionally as part of a coast wide co-operative agreement that allows these players to have more competition during the season.

Harrison County has installed new lighting on 3 additional fields at the County Farm Soccer Complex. We would like to express our thanks to the Harrison County Board of Supervisors for this great project to provide lighting and allow more opportunities for night play and practice.

News regarding Referees
|
Referees: If you are scheduled to officiate a game this season make sure that you are at the fields 30 minutes before the first game you are scheduled for. Failure to show up for a game creates major problems and can result in you getting suspended from games. We do not schedule extra referees so there is no one to fill your spot if you do not show up. If games are cancelled due to weather you will be contacted.
For more information on referee courses or to register for this course, please go to www.mississippisoccer.org or click on the following link - https://ssl.hammersoccer.com/missreferee/refereeclinics.asp.

| Leave your dog at home |

Harrison County says "No Dogs allowed at County Farm Soccer Fields", so leave your dog at home. Or with a neighbor. |
They also say "No Golf." So leave your clubs at home, too. Or with a neighbor! |
