5U, 6U, and 8U teams are issued goals and corner flags to use for the season.
This is a change from previous seasons. Goals and flags DO NOT need to be picked up weekly from the shed in James Park anymore.DO NOT STICK ANYTHING INTO THE CROWN TURF. This applies to both stakes for the goals and corner flags. There are special corner flags and sandbags in an orange "Rigid" box marked with AYSO near the tennis courts.

Each team gets:
2 small portable goals
4 corner flags
Weekly:
Bring them each week.
Set up and take down your own goals and flags. x1 goal/field, x2 flags/field.
If your team forgets the goals, set up cones. Your team shoots at the cone end.
Safety:
Pull the goals completely open to their full width.
Secure the goals to the ground with metal stakes.
If the goal, net, or bag is broken, report it to get a replacement:
