Reminder: ECV Field Use & Safety Guidelines
As our indoor season gets underway, we’d like to remind everyone that only players scheduled to be on the field are permitted inside the turf area at East Coast Varsity (ECV) during practices. For safety reasons, siblings and parents are not allowed on the field unless they are part of the session. Additionally, if your team’s session is next, please wait until the current session has finished before stepping onto the field. This helps us keep transitions smooth and ensures a safe, organized environment for all players and coaches. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and respectful training space.
