Dear Warner/ASG Members,
The Tallahassee City Commission voted yesterday unanimously to open city facilities for Fall programs including the Meadows Soccer Complex. We wish to thank all of you who participated in the effort on behalf of our players, including coaches, parents and Warner/ASG supporters.
What is important to understand is that each sports group (including soccer) will submit their plans and protocols for the City to approve before schedules will be released. We have been a leader in this area and will be submitting our graduated plans which you can view on our website under the tab labeled COVID.
This decision yesterday does not mean that we will automatically go back to unrestricted play and decisions to have clubs host games will have to be made at a separate time.
We all will need to redouble our efforts and follow the protocols set particularly as it pertains to parent spectators and social distancing. We will be sending out specific information once we have communications from the city.
We are all working hard towards a common goal, providing our players with a safe and enjoyable soccer environment. Again, thank you all for your support!

Dear ASG Members:
Members,
We hope you are all safe and well and looking forward to better days ahead. As many of you are aware, we have been looking for guidance from our local authorities and governor. The following link is the update from US Club. (https://www.usclubsoccer.org/news_article/show/1113991)
Earlier this week Leon County cancelled all remaining summer workouts and have now issued guidelines for their fall programs which include for football and volleyball a late start for contact play in early September.
Sports will be limited to in county games only with no out of county games permitted. We have still not heard from the city or county on the opening of the fields and believe that they will follow the Leon County School guidelines and will not be opening until September. https://www.wtxl.com/sports/high-school-sports/leon-county-schools-will-only-allow-county-only-play-schedule-for-fall-athletics
Thank you for your patience. We will be reaching out about individual programs to those families that are registered!
During this time we have been releasing weekly video training sessions with Coach Warner and Coach Chris.
Dear ASG Members:
As we move into July there continues to be uncertainty regarding Covid 19 and what policies are in place as they pertain to our area and repair of the country.
At Warner/ASG we are presently following the governor’s directive for Florida residents, the US soccer guidelines as presented by US Club Soccer and the Florida Youth Soccer Association.
We have been running an APDP program at the Maclay school observing the social distancing requirements and having coaches and staff wearing masks.
On Wednesday this week, Leon County Board of Commissioners passed a ruling that went into effect Thursday requiring all citizens including children to wear masks indoors and in public places. This rule has impacted our Futsol Indoor camp for this past Thursday and Friday.
We want every member to know that we are committed to following the directives they have implemented while also maintaining a high quality program.
We cannot control what other organizations do with their programs in other sports or regions. Rest assured we look forward to the day that we are given the ‘green light’ to play games, but until that time we will do our utmost to follow the guidelines and focus on the health and safety of all of our participants.

Dear Warner/ASG Members,
We are all missing our teammates, coaches, parents and yes, we even miss the meadows. As promised we have been closely monitoring the progress of the COVID-19 virus; In conjunction with the national and state guidelines, we have pushed our potential starting dates back to April 30th.
In the next few days we will be contacting each participating member directly with information specific to your program; please ensure that you have not ‘unsubscribed’ from Warner Soccer’s emails AND if your program email includes a google forms survey PLEASE fill out all questions ASAP to help us plan accordingly.Additionally, we would love for you to join us on our social media platforms to keep up our development as best we can. We currently have two social media programs going with another one coming soon! This is a great way to stay involved with our ASG Family while social distancing.You can find us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and now Youtube.
Warner/ASG COVID-19 Community Connection
Because we know there are things much more important than soccer at a time like this we will be adding a page on our website called Community Connection. This page will be a place that all of our ASG members that own/work for local businesses can identify their business and service. This will help all of our ASG Family support each other in this trying time. If you would like your business on that page please email Coach Chris with the following information:
Your business’ name, location(s), hours of operation and what product or service you can provide.
In our 30 years we have never faced a challenge like this with such an uncertain outcome; but knowing that we have each other both on and off the field is a great comfort.
Keep the ball moving, Stay safe and healthy

Members,
We are pleased to announce our try-out registration process for the 2020-2021 season will be live Monday, May 18 at 5pm. At the top of this page are the latest official updates for youth soccer from FYSA and US Club Soccer.
We are opening registration to all current club members and new players who wish to join our club. (Current players wishing to retain their place for the 2020-2021 season should follow the steps laid out in our May 18 letter)
We have contracted two sites to begin limited training once the governor announces the start of phase 2.
Our goal for the 2020-2021 is to limit the dislocation of our program, teams and families. We will once again focus on the US Club Soccer I-10 Alliance League, competitive play with NO overnight stay and competitive youth tournaments.
We have maintained our club partnerships for next year and are looking forward to getting back, on the field.
Another email will be coming for returning players who will be receiving a credit for a portion of the spring season. This credit will be applied toward player development fees in the fall.
Registration and Administration fees for the 2020-2021 seasons will be due at sign up for the fall season.
If you have any direct questions please contact me.
GO ASG!
