Good Morning JTCD/H Families,

Challenger soccer scheduled for today have been canceled due to wet field conditions. With the recent rainfall, all fields remain too saturated for safe play. While we know everyone looks forward to Saturday soccer, the safety of our players, volunteers, and families is always our top priority.

We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we work to keep our players safe and our fields in good condition. I will do my best to schedule a makeup date.

Everyone have a great weekend!

Coach Marilene and Coach Kristen
