ROMEO
 
Dear parents,
 
Your team will be attending the Romeo Peachfest Tournament over labor day weekend, September 4-5.  (This has been posted on our website with your practice days since JULY 1.)   The Romeo Peachfest is played on Sat & Sun and runs alongside the Annual Romeo Peach Festival.  The village will have parades, Art Displays, Carnival Rides, Craft Shows and various other family activities your team and parents are welcome to enjoy.
 
Once your team is "officially" accepted into the tournament, you will receive additional information from the club. In the meantime, consider offering your assistance to your manager to help plan a fun event for your players.  Meeting at the fair in between games, enjoying a team picnic, or visiting one of the many pumpkin patches have all been past team favorites.  Our club has a long standing history with the Romeo Peachfest and players always have a great time on and off the field! 
 
As a friendly reminder, please remember at the travel soccer level, tournaments are not considered optional and ALL players are expected to attend.  If you have a significant event that will not allow your player to attend, we ask that you contact your manager and your coach immediately so they can plan accordingly.
