• played to half-time are considered complete; Coaches' Game Reports need to be submitted ASAP.

Parking Restrictions @ York Suburban High School
Parking is only permitted in the York Suburban High School or adjacent church parking lots for games on the High School field against Trojan Soccer Club teams. Parking on the street or grass on the Midland Avenue side of the field is prohibited. This is a request from both the community and the York Suburban School District that we must comply with in order to continue using this facility.

It has been reported to York USA that Comcast has begun blocking group emails (i.e., email messages with a large number of recipients) originating from Comcast email accounts. If you send bulk email messages (e.g., Club President communications to Club Coaches, Coaches to Team Parents, etc.) AND you have a Comast email account (e.g., [youraccount@comcast.com]) then this problem may affect you. Learn about the blocking and a workaround that might solve your problems.
