WINTER PRACTICE SCHEDULES
updated 02/18/06

Note:
Winter practice times have yet to be reserved in the Watkins Glen High School Field House on Sundays.  The school board voted to eliminate all Sunday activities.  We are now contemplating paying for the use of the gym, as insufficient time is available throughout the rest of the week.  Stay tuned....... 

School functions take priority and may displace us, along with other special community charitable events.  I will try to update this schedule with upcoming events to keep you posted.  Only registered players and coaches may participate.  Coaches may not use the weight training facility for any players under U-14 and only then after an appropriate training inservice from the Athletic Department.

FALL 2004 News
SCORPIONS BECOME FIRST NYWEST CLUB TO REQUIRE HEADGEAR

Click to see the Wall St. Journal Article

At the August 2004 meeting of the Board, the Scorpions voted unanimously to become the first club in NY West to require headgear of all players under age 14.  In return Full 90 has agreed to provide the headgear free of charge and we will also provide them free to players over age 14 if they agree to wear them.

It is VERY IMPORTANT for all players and parents to realize that the headgear IS NOT intended to be used to head a ball more frequently.  The ball flattens somewhat upon impact and the headgear will not likely reduce the effects of an impact from a ball.  It is intended to help reduce the chances of injury from accidental impact with an elbow, the ground or another player's head.  We are making every effort to protect your children with the best available technology.  If anyone becomes aware of further improvements in equipment, please contact us.

Spring Practices

PLEASE REMEMBER - THESE ARE PUBLIC FACILITIES.  WITH THE CONSTRUCTION, COOPERATION IS NEEDED NOW MORE THAN EVER!  PLEASE SHARE THE FIELDS.  IF YOU'VE HAD USE OF A GOAL FOR MORE THAN 1/2 HOUR, OFFER TO MOVE TO OPEN GRASS AND YIELD THE FIELD.  THANKS!

The Following teams are practicing at The Community Center.  If you plan on practicing there, please notify me so we can coordinate the schedule.
