    VAIL CUP WEATHER PROTOCOL

    1) Games may be canceled or suspended when fields are not playable due to rain, low air temperature, excessively high winds or lightning.

    2) The responsibility of game cancellation, shortened games or temporary suspension of games will rest with the Tournament Administration. Final judgement will be that of the tournament representative.

    Penalty Kicks will be utilized to determine winners of games canceled due to weather.

    (*5 kicker format)

    3) In the event that play has been stopped by the field Referee, Head Referee or Tournament Administration, the score at the stoppage of play will be the final game score if at least one half was completed and if play is not resumed as ordered by tournament administration.

    4) In the case of bad weather the referee and field marshals will notify everyone to clear the fields. Do not leave the complex until games are officially canceled. Participants and supporters should leave the playing area and go directly to their cars.

    5) We will use the Weather Bug app to monitor lightning if necessary.

    If lighting strikes are detected within 10 miles all players and coaches must seek shelter.

    Once the Spark tab shows that there are no lightning strikes within 10 miles away, players must wait 30 minutes to return to the fields. (If lightning strikes are detected again within 10 miles, the 30 minute clock starts again)

     

    We look forward to having you join us in a few weeks for a great weekend of soccer. Please email the below address with any questions you may have.

Cindy Eskwith, A Life’s work of love

(VailDaily.com)

June 19, 2013

Vail –If you’re in the Vail Valley and kicking a soccer ball, then you can thank Cindy Eskwith. Cindy’s 16-year battle with breast and bladder cancer ended in May of 2013. If you’ve been on the sidelines watching kids play a Vail Valley Soccer Club match then Cindy’s life has touched yours. Cindy made a difference to thousands of kids and their parents. “She was an incredible optimist.  It never occurred to her that something wouldn’t turn out right, and she worked until it did,” said Larry Eskwith, her husband of 40 years. In 1973, Cindy and Larry landed in Vail, Colorado after a stint in Steamboat Springs.  Cindy and Larry fell in love with the mountains and stayed. Cindy always believed in the power of sport to inspire leadership and teamwork.  She was an athlete her entire life.  Cindy got involved with local youth sports because her daughter started playing, the same reason most of us do.  But that’s where the similarities ended.  Cindy became president of the Vail valley Soccer Club’s board and started the enormously successful Vail Cup, the soccer tournament that brings thousands of people and many dollars to the valley each autumn. Cindy facilitated the deal for artificial turf fields in Edwards’ Freedom Park.  In 2012, the Colorado Youth Soccer Hall of Fame inducted Cindy to honor her significant personal achievement and extraordinary representation of the soccer community. In addition to sports, Cindy was passionate about local education.  She was part of almost every benefit and worked for almost every cause.
