No More Trash Rule
The Arlington Soccer Association Board of Directors has passed a rule to help fight the growing trash problem at the soccer complex. Any team who does not pick up their area after their game will receive:
$25.00 fine for the 1st offense
$50.00 for the 2nd offense
$100.00 for the 3rd offense
Everyone is asked to report any left trash. If you are the next team and the area is trashed report it to a Field Coordinator (take pictures if you can) and then please pick it up to help us keep the fields clean. Thank you for all your help with keeping Harold Patterson a clean place to play soccer!
