MVLA Teams:

I have had a couple teams wonder why they hadn't gotten their Fall phase 1 assignments...well....it was because I was planning to start them week of Aug 18 and they expected to start earlier.

Please understand my assumption for Fall start-of-practice is week of Aug 18.  Why? Because per our Field Allocation PIM, we give priority to training 3 weeks before any event.  Week of Aug 18 is three weeks before league starts.  So unless you explicitly tell me otherwise and let me know the tourney necessitating you to start early, your team starts training week of Aug 18.  See list below for team status per my records.

Telling me you are in some XXX tourney doesn't help unless it happens to be a premier level tourney everyone knows about (in other words, don't make me chase down tourney dates).  :-)  Also, just because you did a camp in summer or did a spell of training or did one day a week doesn't mean you are continuous through Fall.  If your reservation ends before week of Aug 11, I will not assume you are continuous into Fall...I will assume you have a one week break and then will start Aug 18. So make sure I have accurate info for your team.

And finally, Fall permits have not been issued.  I pretty much know what I will get from City of LA (final mtg next Wed).  The MV permit is still in negotiation (first draft I rcvd was ridiculous) and the LASD meeting isn't until end Aug 20 or so. LAHS never issues their Fall permit until the Fall coaches have had a chance to have at it, though I am pretty sure I'll get what I got before weekday-wise. The good news is that after permits are issued, I horsetrade with AYSO, PW, etc., to get bits and pieces of fields here and there.   All this uncertainty means that just like last year, your initial Fall reservation will be a PHASE 1 reservation pending the finalization of Fall permits.  Phase 2 reservations will likely preserve days and times, but may change fields.

Here are my assumptions for START DATES as of now based on what you have told (or not told) me.  In the list below, the BOLD BLUE TEXT teams have asked me to start before week of Aug18.  The rest of you start week of Aug 18 unless you tell me real quick otherwise (include justification).
