Walden Minor Soccer Association
A WORD FROM THE WMSA EXECUTIVE
Dear Parents,
This year we have more than 800 young people playing on 50 teams. It
takes a tremendous amount of work to run a league of this size. All the
work is undertaken by volunteers. We would encourage all families to
assist in some way in helping to make the league run successfully.
Please take the time to thank your coaches for their time and effort to
make the season a great one for your child.
We encourage fair play in a friendly sporting environment where learning
the sport and enjoying the company of friends as well as finding new
friends is paramount. We do not subscribe to creating an intensely
competitive environment but instead want to see all participants back
the following year and having fun as well as getting plenty of exercise.
We trust that all parents, players and coaches alike will help support
our ideals. Most of all, we hope everybody has fun.
Thank you to the more than 100 coaches that have made this season
possible, to our many sponsors for your continued support of
recreational soccer in Walden, and to the executive members who
organized teams, trained referees, check the hotline, recruit sponsors,
maintain fields and equipment, and other administrative duties.
Thank you for your support for Walden Minor Soccer. Should you have any
questions or concerns, please feel free to leave a message on the Walden
Minor Soccer hotline (626-9696) and someone will get back to you as soon
as possible.
The 2008 WMSA Executive

Not sure about the weather?
Check the WMSA Hotline.
Although we try to ensure that all games are played, cancellations are
required at times. Although every effort will be made to give adequate
notice, sometimes this isn't possible. Games are generally cancelled due
to the following conditions:
Heavy or torrential rain (more likely in the younger age groups) which
has been persistent during the hours preceding the game.
Thunderstorms which are imminent or threatening.
Extreme heat or very high humidity levels.
Too few players in one or both teams.
In the event of air quality advisories, unless noticeably poor at the
field locations, the games will be played. We advise parents of players
who may have difficulties in these conditions to use their discretion as
a parent whether or not to have you child participate on that particular
evening.
