**Important GYB/GGS Team Info**

– Managers/Coaches/Players: Make sure to wear your uniforms. No cleats until game time and dress for the weather!

– Managers/Coaches/Players: Arrive in the Franklin Center parking lot no later than 8:45am. You can begin arriving at 8:00am. Please do not arrive before this time. ONLY VEHICLES IN THE PARADE ARE PERMITTED IN THE LOT. Parents must drop off players outside the lot. Streets will be busy and parking will be limited.

– Managers/Coaches/Players: You can walk in the parade or ride in a decorated vehicle (only one vehicle per team). We like a mixture of both! You must stop by the entrance of the lot to see Erinn and Colleen who will direct you where to park. Signs can be carried by walkers. Candy cannot be thrown.

– Tell your family and friends to line up along Broad Street for you to wave to.

– If you are driving in the parade, when you reach our major field, you’ll park along the side streets and walk to the field. Teams, enter the Major Field and line up around the perimeter of the field.

– The Opening Ceremony will begin once all players are in the field!
