Attention Parents!
Due to increases in injuries and liabilities, we can no longer let any player wear any jewelry of any kind while playing. This includes piercing of any kind, even if the piercing was just done. It is possible, and has happened, that even taped piercings have become caught and pulled out of the person, causing a quite painful injury.
Parking and Traffic
CYSL coaches and parents are advised that CYSL no longer has access to the overflow parking lot due to expansion by Chico U-Lock-It.
CYSL has scheduled additional time between games to allow vehicles to exit the park before the next games. Please exit the park immediately after your game to make room for the next ones.
There is additional parking available at Chapman Elementary School.
Please park in designated areas only, not along the roadway, red curbs or on grass.
Thank you for your cooperation.
