 BROOKHAVEN RECREATION * YOUTH PROGRAMS 
High School Varsity & JV players become eligible to play when the Soccer League Supervisor receives
a signed "BLUE" card (boy's) or a signed "PINK" card (girl's). This "Parent Permission/Registration"
card states that the player has permission from his/her parent or guardian to play soccer in the Town
of Brookhaven soccer program. Any "YOUTH" soccer player who is injured during one of our soccer
games or events can fill out an "Accident Report" stating the nature of the injury. "Accident Reports"
should be filled out by the Soccer Field Supervisors at the time of the injury. All youth players and
their parent or legal guardian must sign a "BLUE" card (boy's) or "PINK" card (girl's) stating that they
will play at their ... "own risk."

 Playing at their ... "OWN RISK" 
 Brookhaven Town does NOT provide Insurance ! 
In years past the Town of Brookhaven provided supplimental Insurance. In 2009 the Town dropped that
policy and announced that anyone playing in Brookhaven Recreation programs are now playing at their
"own risk." The policy is stated on the back of all permission cards. Further explanation can be provided
by the Town of Brookhaven's Law Department.

TEAM TRASH, WATER BOTTLES & TAPE
Varsity and Summer Soccer Coaches....
Please make sure your players are cleaning up after their games.
There have been some complaints from the people who are nice
enough to allow us to use their fields. It is not their responsibility
to pick up trash that your players are leaving. If you can't get your
players to pick up their water bottles, tape and trash then it is your job
to clean up before you leave. There are plenty of garbage pails at
all our fields and sites. Simple get our players to use them.

PORT-A-LAVS
There are Port-A-Lav's at the P/M Youth Soccer Complex.
There are bathrooms at all the Town of Brookhaven soccer fields.
Please make sure your players are using them and not the woods !

Thanks for helping make our summer soccer program successful.
