Schedules posted here

REMINDER – All coaches need to check in at the main info tent at least one hour before their first game. An additional check in time has been scheduled for Friday evening, May 15, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. Beat the rush and check in early.

Rosters will be verified and frozen at check in, and may be checked by referees at any game. Each roster must include the name of the player, and their jersey number.

ONLY recreational league players are allowed in this tournament.

Coaches – Please review the Tournament Rules that were handed out with your registration form. There are a few small, but important changes. The rules have been posted with the revised schedules.

Trophies will be awarded to the first place team in each tournament age grouping. Players not on first place teams will receive participation medals.

The tournament age groupings are as follows: (ONLY for teams that registered and paid their tournament entry fee)
U5B – Under 5 boys teams
U5-6G – Under 5 and Under 6 girls teams
U6B – Under 6 Boys teams
U7G – Under 7 Girls teams
U7B – Under 7 Boys team
U8G – Under 8 Girls teams
U8B – Under 8 Boys teams
Silver Division – All U9 boys and girls teams, all U10 girls teams, and one U10 boys team
Gold Division – Most U10 boys teams, U12/14 boys teams, U12/14 girls teams

An extra U7/8 field was added for the tournament. It is designated as Field CH on the schedule, and is located in the grassy area next to the PCSI clubhouse (between the parking lot and complex road).

Every effort was made to assure that during pool play, coaches with multiple teams do not have both teams playing in the same time slot (i..e., no coach should have two games at once). However, since we don’t know who will make it to semi-final or final games, we could not make that assurance for those games.

Thanks for the participation and GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!

PoncaSoccer is REQUIRED to have a background check completed (annually) for ALL Volunteers (over age 18) who will be interacting with children.

Oklahoma Soccer Association is using GotSport to conduct the background checks. ALL Volunteers (over 18) need to be entered into GotSport. Once entered, the volunteer is assigned a username and password so they can log in and complete the Background Check questionnaire (an email address is required). Alternately, volunteers and coaches may fill out a Volunteer Disclosure Form and give PoncaSoccer permission to enter their information for Background Check.

This is a US Youth Soccer requirement intended for the protection of all our children.

PoncaSoccer still does not have completed forms from many of the Recreational Coaches and volunteers. These MUST be filled out and returned to PoncaSoccer ASAP. Forms will be available at the soccer complex concession stand, and can be returned to the Referee Shack.

If you prefer, you can print out your VDF from oksoccer.com. If you go to www.oksoccer.com and look on the right side, you will see a link that takes you OSA VOLUNTEER DISCLOSURE FORM. Click the link and follow the instructions.

Thanks for taking the time to fill out the REQUIRED form.
