Expectations of Players:
#1 Team First – From an activity perspective - I fully expect that Soccer is your #1 Priority moving forward - you are allowed to play other sports or activities - but if schedules conflict, the team comes first! In other words - Soccer is the activity you want to engage in above all other activities.
At Practice – Treat it as an investment in yourself
· On Time – is 5 minutes early
· Ready to go – not getting dressed running to the pitch
· All equipment – Practice Jersey’s and Shorts EVERYONE
· 110 % effort
· Hair up / Socks up shirts tucked in / Shin Guards and Socks on.
· Sports Drink / Water / Snack if appropriate
At Home – Doing Homework
Players will have homework every practice!
The players that do it correctly will progress
The players that don’t will fall behind
Journal – the players will keep a journal and log homework
Good Team mate:
· Team first – all players working together in practice and in the game
· Respect – Officials, Coaches, Team mates, other competitors, and parents
· Work Hard – at practice, in games, at school, and home chores.
· Have a sense of humor – this is just a game… but it is a great learning environment.
At Games:
· On Time - is 10 minutes early – Warm ups start 30 minutes prior to games unless otherwise notified.
· Both Jersey’s every game but as a rule
o Home
o Away
· Shirts MUST BE Tucked in· Hair up / Socks up / Shin Guards on· No Jewelry
If a player is unable to make a session or game – The player must contact the coach directly, not the parent.
No excuses – things happen, we will deal with situations and move on.
