A general point of information that you may already noticed, but the city parks department reminded us of at the July 2025 Blue Ribbon Sports committee meeting. The city is proceeding on its goal to remove all permanent goalposts from city parks except for Bullhead, Grisham and Cesar Chavez parks. That doesn't include what APS make be doing with their school fields which they continue to lock up in spite of the joint use agreement with the City.

Important items that will be a problem later that no one told you:
- We will no longer reschedule games in the fall and spring season. The city has removed goals at Arroyo del Oso and Lynnewood parks where we played those games and we have no other field options as the complex is filled with tournament play the two weeks after our fall season completes and three weeks after our spring seasons is complete.
- In the fall, winter and spring season for Sunday a player may only play on one mens team, one women's team and one coed team. You pay the registration fee for each team you play on. The second team is not free. Hence, a player may not play on two men's teams, two women's teams or two coed teams. The summer rules are different. A player may play on a Sunday coed team and a Wednesday coed team.
