CaptionNew signs are going up Thursday at the WRAL Soccer Center in Wake Forest to make it clear that smoking is not allowed.
CASL administrators are hopeful the signs, provided by WakeMed Health and Hospitals, will reinforce an established no-smoking policy that some people are ignoring.
Director of Soccer Operations Michael Milazzo says the facility should be a safe and healthy environment for kids.
"When I walk to the field of a group of U6 kids and people are smoking," he said. "That is an issue."
Milazzo said that smoking is not allowed at any of CASL's soccer fields, but the signs will only be at the Soccer Center because it is the only field CASL owns. With so many fields all over the county, he says the smoke-free policy is difficult to enforce. Still, he hopes people will respect the rules and the players.
"Smoking is the antithesis of the message we're trying to put forward with our kids," he said.

Burgundy Wine lies at the very heart of France, and is one of the world’s finest wine producing regions. Located two hours to the southeast of Paris, the wine area starts in Chablis in the north of the region and then it follows the autoroute A6 southerly to Lyon.
The Burgundy soil is mainly based on oolitic limestone, upon which both the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes flourish.

It is a good thing that they finally enforced the ban. It will do a lot of good in my opinion.

Roy Vagelos, the CEO of Merck and a physician, strongly supported the smoke-free effort. The program, therefore, proceeded through extensive negotiations in a heavily unionized environment. Employee surveys also indicated strong support.

I think this is a good thing. NO smoking by any soccer field. There are kids involved.

Great piece of writing. I agree with Soccer Dad of words “We should also consider a ban on snack crackers, sugar treats and trendy hair cuts. The Soccer Mom’s pursuit of hair fashion not only place undue social pressure on the mother, but when long in the front can fall into the eyes causing collision.” It should van on all sports field also.

I think the ban is FABULOUS !
But the fight is not over…
We should also consider a ban on snack crackers, sugar treats and trendy hair cuts. The Soccer Mom’s pursuit of hair fashion not only place undue social pressure on the mother, but when long in the front can fall into the eyes causing collision. Witnessed by the embarrased family, the indelable imprint strains family dynamics for ever.
But the greatest tragity before us is also our biggest challenge. According to our frieds in occupational safety, more people are hurt at junior soccer events getting in and out of folding lawn chairs and while wearing tight capri pants and Flip-Flops than by GUNS.
We must be vigilant, fight the good fight and learn to use our perspective and not loose our perspective.
