End of Season Fun – October 31
D1-D3 - Halloween Game Day Younger divisions may wear optional costumes (no masks or attire that will restrict their play) for a festive final Saturday!
D4-Playoffs & Championship games will proceed as in previous years.
D5- Tournament Day Our oldest athletes will wrap up the season with a special tournament-style day, bringing together the skills, teamwork, and leadership they’ve built throughout the fall.
DIV 5 – New This Year
We’re introducing a fresh, competitive format for our oldest division:
Weekly captain‑led scrimmages
New teams drafted each week to keep play balanced, engaging, and fun
Coaches will serve in a mentoring role, supporting leadership, sportsmanship, and team strategy while allowing players to take ownership on the field
This format encourages responsibility, teamwork, and positive competition — a great fit for our oldest athletes.
Concessions
To support steady customer flow, we aim to keep the grill open as consistently as possible throughout the event. Adequate adult coverage will ensure we can maintain hot food availability without interruption. Volunteer support will help keep the stand running smoothly while the grill remains active.
· Grill Operations: Adult volunteers 21+ are needed to assist with grilling and food preparation.
· Concession Staff: Adult volunteers and youth volunteers ages 14+ may assist with general concession sales, setup, and customer service.
Communications
Please note that we are no longer using League Lineup for league communications or updates. All official announcements, schedules, and team messaging will now be shared exclusively through email and our official page.
We’re Ready for a Great Season!
Our goal is to create a positive, energetic, community‑focused soccer experience for every player — from Pre‑K through Grade 12. Thank you for your enthusiasm, your time, and your commitment to making this season special.
If you have any questions before kickoff, feel free to reach out. We can’t wait to see everyone on the field.
See you soon,
Templeton Recreation Soccer Coordinators
