Congratulations to our divisional regular season champions. Well done!

2021-Sep-05Playoffs

The GKSSA playoffs begin this week and there are a few notes to share with everyone.

The A and C playoffs are all one-game affairs that require a winner. If the match is tied at the end of regulation, all matches before the finals will go directly to kicks from the penalty mark.

Because the B and D divisions had shortened seasons, their semi-final matches will be two-legged aggregate score (no away goals). The first legs (B13 and B14 on Sep 7, and D18 and D19 on Sep 10) will end at the end of regulation, no matter the scoreline. The second legs (Sep 14 and Sep 13 respectively) will go to two ten-minute halves of extra time (no golden goal) if the aggregate scoreline after both games is tied. If still tied at the end of extra time, the games will be decided by kicks from the penalty mark.

The D division quarter-final matches (D16 and D17 on Sep 6) must have a winner and, if tied after regulation, will have two ten-minute halves of extra time before going to kicks from the penalty mark if required.

The playoff finals will all be played at Barr Homes on Sunday, September 19. These will have two ten-minute periods of extra time and then penalties if required.

Note: Please note that some fields may be changing over the next couple of weeks due to field availability, so keep your eyes on the website.

2021-Aug-23BHS notes

A few important BHS notes to be aware of:

1. Remember that the last person to leave the Barr Homes Soccerplex is responsible for locking the gate.
2. Please park in the usual designated parking lots. The lot past the pond towards Field 2 is for referees and those who are either pregnant or handicapped only.
3. Only PLASTIC recycling should go into the recycling bins. Empty your bottles before placing them in the bins. Also, please pick up your used tape and any other garbage and dispose of it in the garbage cans that are readily available at each field, and not in the recycling bins.

2021-Jul-072021 Season Registration

Based on the survey put out to teams, we have gathered the information and we are moving forward with plans to run a 2021 outdoor season.

Here are the goals/plans and some reasons why:

• Start date will be July 26 (we are then in phase 3 and avoid most covid protocols - and it also gives team reps time to fill out roster and collect fees)
• A lot will depend on registrations, but the goal is to keep teams on preferred game nights
• The plan is to have 5-6 regular season games, 11v11, playoffs, and potentially a Cup game (we want all trophies to be handed out again)
• Promotion and relegation will not be enforced, and divisions will be aligned to best suit those registered

Fees:

• Total fees will depend on teams registered, and schedules, but the estimate total cost is about $2000/team
• $300 refundable deposit is due to Derek Conlon by Wednesday July 14 via e-transfer (if you need alternate payment methods, please email him and inquire – please note what team you are registering for in the e-transfer payment)
• Final fees will be due by July 25 with the amount to be determined ASAP
• Any refunds will be given at the next AGM

Rosters:

• Rosters are due by Wednesday, July 21, in order to register everyone in time
• If you don’t have access to your team google doc, please contact Alex Fletcher

Other notes/considerations:

• Please remember this season will be very different than past seasons
• Currently only about 1/3 of usual referees are ready to work, so be prepared for single referee games
• We will play some games at BHS and likely September games on turf or lit fields
• All suspensions from 2019 will continue to this season, so please be aware if any affect your team
• Friday night will be reserved for rain dates and potentially Holiday Monday switches
