2009-Dec-12Executive Changes, AGM 2009-Nov-26

The GKSSA Executive would like to thank Pierre Vanderhout and Kevin McEleney for their dedication to the betterment of soccer in the Kingston Area. Both have stepped down as members of the Executive. Pierre was a valuable member of the GKSSA, serving as Vice President for several years. Pierre’s contribution to our club’s direction will be missed. Kevin has moved away from Kingston and therefore had to resign as Discipline Chair. Good luck to you both.

Fortunately, two other members have stepped up to fill the void. Phil Benevides is the new Vice President and Glenn Unan is taking over Discipline.

2009-Jul-30Important Reminder: Don’t Leave Garbage at the Field!

Kingston’s Park Operations have informed us that an excessive amount of garbage is being left at the Caton’s fields. If it continues, park users will be billed for the extra clean up costs.

Make sure your team does its part to put all garbage at Caton’s, and all fields we play at, in the appropriate cans that have been provided.

The Division B team previously known as Soccer Plus United has changed their name to SPGS United. (To find out what those letters stand for, visit their team page.)

2009-Jul-07Keys for Lights at Caton’s and Woodbine

All teams should have a key for the lights at the Caton’s and Woodbine fields and should bring it to all games played there. (The same key works at both fields.) If you don’t have a key, get one from GKSSA Registrar Maureen Sakell.

The home team is responsible for the lights at these fields. If a game is abandoned because no one had a key to the lights, the home team forfeits the match.

There are now goal nets at the Frontenac Secondary School field. For the rest of the season, teams playing there will no longer need to provide their own nets.
