[quote=Anonymous]To Coaches ,   Managers , and Team Contacts   of the   Boys   Premier Cup:

As we eagerly await the beginning of our 35 th   annual Bethesda Premier Cup this upcoming weekend, I wanted to provide an update to all of our participating teams.   I'm sure all of the teams, especially on the East Coast can attest, this has been a very trying fall season, with some of our teams only playing 50% of their matches so far.    Recently I heard on the news that this is the 2 nd   wettest year ever in the DC area and we have already had over 16 inches over the norm al rainfall just for this fall.   All grass fields have been completely saturated for most of the season and currently that continues to be the case.   Just this past Monday and Tuesday we received   another   inch of additional rain with   a mixed rain/sleet/snow on Thursday   expected .

That being said, we are committed to playing as many of the games this weekend as possible.     I am in the process of moving as many games as possible that were scheduled on grass fields to turf fields to make sure we can complete the weekend schedule.  We are currently looking for fields in Frederick, Montgomery, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia to secure as many turf fields as possible.  I   am currently working with all of my   age group coordinators   to determine the best course of action moving forward.  My goal is to have any changes to the schedule available by 6 p.m. on Thursday evening and would ask teams to check the schedule at that time for any updates.   You can also contact your age group coordinator if you still have any questions regarding any part of the tournament.

As a longtime coach, my frustration in traveling to tournaments in the past was not having any information regarding possible scenarios or information regarding the schedule.    I am committed to coming up with a plan and communicating it  as early as is possible.                  We in Bethesda are committed to being as transparent and timely in our communications to the teams as is humanly possible.   At this point it will not do any good to email me regarding questions on the schedule as no decisions have been made at this time.

Thanks and I look forward to seeing everyone this upcoming weekend.
