Hello PAYSA Families,

We hope you enjoyed the skills clinics opening day activities and meeting your Maine Lightning Coaches!

Please note that we have changed the location of the 4/27 clinics to be outdoors at Dougherty Fields in Portland (85 St. James St.).

The times will remain the same with the first group going 1pm-2pm and the 2nd group going at 2:15 pm – 3:15pm. Going forward, all clinics will be held at the Dougherty Field location as follows according to the original schedule below (*note the morning start times):

Outdoor Dates: Doherty Fields – 85 St. James St. Portland

• Session 3 – Saturday, May 4th ; 9-10am & 10:15am -11:15am
• Session 4 – Saturday, May 11th ; 9-10am & 10:15am -11:15am
• Session 5 –  Saturday, May 18th; 9-10am & 10:15am -11:15am

Rain Date: Saturday, June 1st

*If your player missed week 1, they will need to check in at the table to get their skills tee shirt and a ball. Please arrive early to allow time to check in and get you your field. MLSC coaches will be at the check-in table to gather their group.

*Players who attended week 1 will not need to check in again.

Reminders:

• Please plan to arrive 5-10 minutes early so coaches can gather their groups and so sessions may start on time. 
• Please have your player wear their red tee shirt
• Please have your player bring their ball. It’s best to not write names on the balls as they are more difficult to track. Each player should bring a ball home after each session and bring it back the following session.
• All players should wear appropriate footwear, shin guards and a water bottle.
• We kindly ask that parents stay off the playing fields and let our coaches run their groups.
• Any cancellations due to inclement weather will be communicated as soon as the city closes the fields. See above for the rain date 6/1. 

We want to thank you for your patience during week 1.

We appreciate your participation and support of our youth development programs.
