Only the specific players listed on the sheet in link above may participate in the event this weekend - this was based on affirmative responses received by tourney registration deadline
If your player’s primary team is NOT participating and your player’s name is NOT on the sheet as part of a combined team, they unfortunately cannot attend at this time (you may inquire with your manager as to possible options who will coordinate with WSA to determine possibilities)
Players who more recently responded can only participate subject to room on the relevant roster for the event
If your player was previously signed up to participate, but can no longer attend, please let your Team Manager know ASAP as there may be another player who would has indicated a desire to play

Fields map
All players must bring Blue and White uniforms
Teams should wear pink socks unless they choose otherwise as a team
As is case for all games, NO jewelry or earrings are allowed, tape over earrings is not allowed (earrings must be removed for play)
WSA Tents and Snacks:
WSA managers will set up “home bases” for Wilton teams using the WSA tents available for use in logical locations (please make sure tents are returned to Allen’s Meadows shed after use)
Snacks are welcome, but please be attentive to what players consume before and after games, and always
Please be mindful of any allergies (WSA is not responsible for what others bring or consume), and limit too many sweets before play
Tournament Reminders:
Arrive at field 20-30 mins before start time for each game
Find your coach or manager and find an area to warmup near the field you are playing at - note coaches may be running from game to game, so parent support on getting teams prepared to play and possibly for light warmups is appreciated
Remind yourselves of our Code of Conduct and represent our Town, our teams and our program in a manner we can all be proud of
Celebrate the positive and avoid any negatives; cheer for the team and support our coaches; resist the urge to address or criticize referees or players or anyone else for any reason
Tournament competition varies widely - our own teams and others are participating on a combined basis and alignment of divisions can simply never be perfectly level - it’s likely we win a few, lose a few, win a couple by a lot and lose a few more by many… it’s all part of the experience, roll with it
Coaches will do best to rotate players in and out and it’s likely players will sample different positions on the field at this event
Finally, NO practices on Monday, October 13th due to the Wilton Public School break
