I want to provide you with the following:
1. DUSC Game Start Times this Spring
2. # of Home Games Information
3. EXTRA Tournament Information
4. OCL Pre-Announcement
1. DUSC Home Game Start Times:
4/1 through 4/6 5:40PM/6:50
4/7 through 4/13 5:50/7:00
4/14 through rest of season: 6:00/7:10
SATURDAY ONLY:(except 4/28 -- NO GAMES!): 8:30AM/9:40/10:50
Saturday and Sunday: 12:00/1:10/2:20/3:30/4:40/5:
50/7:00
CAVEAT: For weekends, we have developed a shared calendar....Games will need to be scheduled adjacent to other games on a particular Saturday/Sunday ONCE the first game on that day is scheduled. In other words, if the first coach in DUSC wants a home game at 1:10PM on a Saturday/Sunday, the next coach will need to schedule at EITHER 12:00PM/2:20PM. This will allow for more efficient field/referee use.
Shared calendar is located here:

2. # of Home Games DUSC will Fund:
DUSC will pay for up to five home games for all U-08 DUSC teams (and Dublin Scorpions)
DUSC will pay for up to six home games for all U-09 and up teams
DUSC will, on a case-by-case basis, allow for unfunded home games (i.e. team schedules a 7th home game or an opponent cannot get access to a field or the opponent is a far distance from Dublin.
3. EXTRA Tournament Information:
In order to get reimbursed for ANY tournament, you MUST REGISTER as DUBLIN UNITED your team name. If you register only as DUBLIN team name or only team name, you will NOT be reimbursed since you are NOT representing Dublin United.
For DUSC teams who have not played in an extra tournament, yet, we strongly endorse the Junior Cup (it is local, well run and offers appropriate competition).
If you wish to register for the Junior Cup in New Albany, feel free to do so (and let me know so that we can request to pay with a SINGLE DUSC check). Go to
www.thejuniorcup.com for information (it is 5-12/5-13).
The Buckeye Cup, which is in Newark, (5-5/5-6) is another good option.
www.buckeyecup.com for information. The same applies for payment.
We will pay up to $425 for any other tournament (if you go to a more expensive tournament, you will pay the fee and we will reimburse you $425).
BEFORE GETTING REIMBURSED, YOU MUST GET MY PERMISSION TO ATTEND THAT TOURNAMENT.
I am only doing this to make sure that you meet the DUSC/DSL Agreement requirements and that your team does not get in over its head.
Let me know if you have any questions about this.
4. OCL Pre-Announcement:
With scheduling just being opened, Natalie and I do not want to overwhelm coaches with information. Therefore, this general message will not go until until Friday or Saturday. The Soccer First Liability form for the tournament must be turned in every season. HOPEFULLY, most of you still have a copy of the one from the Fall. In any case, the form is to be turned in on FEBRUARY 12th at the Coaches Scheduling Meeting. If playing indoor, getting the signatures should be easy. Otherwise, this may be a challenge -- hence the reason for the 3+ week lead time!!!
All for now, but more soon (including the shared calendar for the weekend schedule).
