Guide to Game Day

We strive to make your child's experience with CLCF Soccer a positive, educational, but most of all FUN. Below you will find some helpful tips to help make the season positive for all.

All games are played at the Chaffee Sports Complex on Hope Road in Western Cranston. If you are using a GPS, 460 Hope Road, Cranston, works pretty well. You can learn more about our facilities here. CLCF Soccer runs a concession stand, great for a snack, early lunch, a coffee fix, or if you forgot to bring a drink for your players - please stop by!

It helps the coach, as well as everyone's stress level, to arrive at the field at least 20-30 minutes earlier than the scheduled start. This will give you time to find your team/field, settle in and for your player to warm-up prior to their match. With baseball running in the spring, parking can be tight at the complex, arriving early will also give you time to find a spot to park. Before leaving for your game, make sure to check here for weather related cancellations. Soccer is played in all sorts of weather - but we do keep in mind player safety - if there is no cancellation here, then we are playing games.

Some things you may want to bring with you to the soccer field include:

• your player(s) - with proper equipment and no jewelry;
• a soccer ball;
• water or a sports drink; 
• a folding chair; 
• an umbrella and sunscreen. 
• For the comfort and safety of all, please leave pets at home.

Game time etiquette:

• Cheer on the team and all players, please no coaching from the sidelines;
• encourage, don't discourage, or refs - they are learning too;
• Please sit back at least 3 feet from the side lines;
• Please stay clear of endlines and the goals.

Our league is here to encourage and teach players good sportsmanship and teamwork. We look forward to a great season and wish all players and teams the best of luck!
