Blackhills FC

Congratulations to Tom Dutra, Blackhills FC Goalkeeper Coach, as he has been hired by Seattle Sounders FC as their Goalkeeper Coach.  We wish Tom every success as he coaches in Major League Soccer.

• If you believe it is unsafe for you to travel to practice due to road/weather conditions in your area, please stay home.
• If Olympia School District school is cancelled, or after school sports are cancelled, then Blackhills FC practice is cancelled.
• If there is snow/ice on the field, even if school may be open, the field would be deemed unplayable and practice cancelled.  (This is by its nature an hour-by-hour decision and requires last minute checking of the club website.)
• Your team manager will be given information to distribute regarding practice cancellations.  But due to vacations, internet provider outages, computer glitches and other factors you should also check the club website if you have any questions.
