BECAUSE THE LINES ARE HARD TO SEE DURING
PRESIDENT’S WEEK

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21 THROUGH FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2011

Dear Coach,

Thank you for participating in the Long Island Winter Classic during President’s Week. Thanks to you, the Long Island Winter Classic is the largest President’s Week Tournament on Long Island.

While you have been preparing your team for this competition, we have been aligning divisions and creating schedules. However, there is some required paperwork that will need to be completed and presented at registration at least 30 minutes prior to your first scheduled match.

All the necessary forms are available on the Long Island Winter Classic Web Page located at www.kpsc.org/wtournament. Please also take time to review the rules for the division you are participating in. Please note that the facility does not allow CLEATS on the turf fields.

You will need to complete the Team Roster along with Medical Release forms for each player participating in the tournament. Any guest players will require a guest player form. There is one for guest travel players and one for guest intramural players. Guest player forms tell us that the player’s coach and club has agreed that this player may play with your team in the tournament and tells us that they are duly registered and insured. In addition, you must provide proof of age for each player. This can be either a player pass or a birth certificate.

We know some of you may not have your player passes back yet or your team may be an intramural team. Don’t worry; a signature from your club registrar or club president at the bottom of the team roster form will be sufficient to prove that your players are duly registered and insured.

Next, schedules are now available on the tournament web site. You will see who you are playing and when each match is. Please be sure to check in at the registration desk at least 30 minutes prior to your first match. If your particular schedule is not yet posted, please refer to the Age Group Assignments grid on the tournament page for your approximate session, then check back at a later time for your schedule. This is a patch exchange tournament for the U7, U8 and U9 age groups.
