All players will be able to participate in the on field parade, post game pictures on the field and receive a SRFC gift. 

Families have the option of purchasing discounted group tickets for the youth day match during registration as this will be a sell out event. (You don’t want your kiddo going alone! 😬) We will do our best to group your teams together as best as we can so you are sitting as close as possible!
