SIDELINES
Please note. There is a designated sideline for teams/coaches and a separate one for fans. These will be marked by signs and need to be respected. Fans and teams will not be allowed to share sidelines, even with the fields side by side.
SOCCER GOAL SAFETY
Please see Peoria Park District Soccer Goal Procedure document for complete soccer goal safety.
NO PETS AT DETWEILLER PARK.
All pets, while wonderful creatures, are not allowed during PPSA soccer games at Detweiller Park. This includes dogs on leashes. This is a safety and security policy and provides for the overall care and concern of children, youth and adults who are on teams and come as fans. This is a zero-toleration policy and animals will be asked to be removed from the field areas.
Thanks for helping us with these requests!
Have a great summer and blessings on returning for a great back-to-school season of PPSA soccer!
