WHAT ARE THE DATES OF EACH SESSION?
- The sessions will be held from 11:30am-12:30pm on the following Saturdays: July 18, 25, August 8, 15, 22
WHERE WILL THEY BE PLAYING?
- The field we will be using is the North Maple Regional Park 2
HOW LONG IS EACH SESSION?
Each session runs from11:30am – 12:30pm (the field is being used by other groups following this program therefore extra time will not be available). It is important to show up on time, as once the session begins if your child is late, their Big Buddy may be assigned to someone else.
WHAT DO WE NEED TO PURCHASE?
Each child will receive a full uniform (jersey, shorts, & socks, uniforms will be distributed shortly before the start of the season). You must purchase either outdoor or indoor turf shoes (running shoes work just as well) and shin pads.
DOES A PARENT OR GUARDIAN HAVE TO BE PRESENT FOR EACH SESSION?
Yes, it is mandatory that 1 parent/guardian is present and does not leave during each session. 1 parent/guardian will be required to participate in each session with their child, as we do not always have a volunteer to assign to each child.
WILL THE SAME VOLUNTEER BE ASSIGNED TO MY CHILD FOR EACH SESSION?
We try our best to have the same volunteer “Big Buddy” assigned to a child every week, however if a volunteer is absent for a session then we will try our best to assign a substitute volunteer to fill in. 1 parent/guardian will be required to participate in each session with their child.
If your child is late to a session then his/her volunteer will likely be reassigned to another child, and your child will most likely be placed with another volunteer or group, so please do your best to be on time.
WHAT HAPPENS IF IT IS RAINING?
If a session is cancelled due to inclement weather you will be notified that morning by 10am via email. For this reason, it is imperative that you supply us with an email address that is active and easily accessible to you no matter where you are.
