To all players and parents:

 

As many of you may know we have been constantly trying to maintain and get the Dozier Elementary School site in good shape so that we can continue use it as one of our main training sites for years to come. Two years ago through an agreement between the Newport News Parks and Recreation Department and the Williamsburg Soccer Club lights were installed and we pledged to have the field turf upgraded and maintained on a regular basis. With the help of WSC parents and players and Grass Roots of Virginia the project is moving along.

 

There are a few things still missing at Dozier at the moment. This is where I hope that players, coaches and parents of the Williamsburg Soccer Club can help out again. The facility once again needs to be cleaned up so that it can be a soccer site that we are all proud of. This year for instance, leaves need to be raked/blown away, tall grass around the fields need to be weed-whacked away and good lines painted again on the fields. I am planning on having a work day, much like last year, at Dozier on Friday September 17 from 4pm to get the site in good shape. I expect everything to take a couple of hours. I would like to get as many people as I can and make this a real club effort. Last year we had over 30 people helping out and we managed to complete everything within a couple of hours. If you can help out please reply by email to Tracy at the WSC office at ttrueblood@widomaker.com or call her at 757-220-3794. If you could also indicate whether you can bring any of the items listed it would help.
