Good morning,

Please note there is a field change for today.

Athletic Park
95 St George Street St Thomas, Ontario

Please plan to arrive 15 min early. We would also like to host a short parent meeting following the game-please plan to stick around for an extra 10-15 min.

See you soon!

Hi there,

Tomorrow is our first outdoor practice at Western. Please see the map attached for location and parking . I believe parking is free on Saturday/Sunday. However, there are also details on how to access free parking through the HONK app. Please note, it is about a 5 min to walk from the parking lot to the field.

Visitors to the stadium can pay for their parking by inputting the provided promo code (STADIUM). Users of the turf fields are recommended to download the Honk app on their phone. Once the Honk app is downloaded to your phone, navigate to Zone 1971, select the amount of time you require and enter the promo code (STADIUM) on the screen. There are also QR codes on multiple signs within the parking lot that you can scan without downloading the Honk app. The discount code provided will fully discount parking for those using the stadium and back fields.

Also, we are excited to share that we have uniforms to pass out! We will provide these to parents/guardians at the end of the practice.

It should be sunny but cool tomorrow- dressing in layers is encouraged.

Hi team,

You likely noticed that we rec’d our practice schedule for the season. We will practice Mondays and Thursdays at Hazelden Park from 6:15-7:30. Practices are slotted to begin on May 15 and games May 20th (field condition pending).

Also, a final reminder to send any known absences for the summer season to integrate into our rotational absence schedule as soon as possible. We will dress 9 players for all regular season games, meaning two players will sit per game. We will do our best to accommodate your requests on a first come, first served basis.

Reminder this past Saturday was our final indoor session. We are so excited to move outdoors!!!

See you all soon,
Your coaches

Hi United families,

We have a few more updates to share with you.

The OSC has secured some outdoor space for us (free of charge) to use while we wait for our official outdoor practices. On that latter, we continue to wait for the club to provide the outdoor practice schedule- at the coaches meeting earlier this week, they indicated we should hear over the weekend. As soon as we hear, we will be sure to pass along. We sincerely appreciate your patience.

As for upcoming practices, please see the dates and times below:
Sunday April 23: 11:00-12:00 Western Alumni Field (S2)
Sunday April 30: 11:00-12:00 Western Alumni Field (S1)
Saturday May 6: TBC

We have also registered to participate in the Tony Hunter Stratford cup on August 20th. This was possible thanks to DevLift, our team sponsor. More details to come regarding game times as they become available.

Reminder if you have planned vacation times over the summer to please let us know as we will do our best to consider these in our rotational game roster. Our draft game schedule for the season is expected to be published next weekend.

We will update the TeamPages calendar with the above dates over the next week.

See you tomorrow at Oakridge HS!
