Make Goal Safety a Top Priority

All Clubs and Leagues, Coaches and Referees, and Parents and Players are asked to pay close attention to the safety of the goals on the fields you are using.  

A few years past, a young player was killed by a goal that fell on him.  Shortly after that incident another player was injured by a goal falling, only this one had a better ending. We ask all those involved in VYSA to place greater emphasis on Goal Safety.  

This a reminder to  all soccer officials, spectators, and players to make sure the goals they are using are secure from falling. 
Don’t let another tragedy occur.  Make sure our players are safe!
