Club Philosophy: Meet the Player where they are and help them to develop to the Best of their abilities.
Player Expectations:
- Do your best to be on time. If you are running late, hustle to the field.
- Be prepared (dressed appropriately, uniform, water, Shin Guards, equipment, etc).
- Stay focused and engaged during training. We don’t want players to be a disruption to their teammates.
- Be respectful to teammates, coaches, opponents, referees, parents, and event staff.
- Practice good sportsmanship.
- Be a good teammate (kind, respectful, encouraging, etc).
- Show your support for the club and other teams. Cheer them on whenever you can. It makes a difference.
Parent Expectations:
- Support your player on and off the field.
- Observe training sessions from afar. It can be distracting for players when parents are at training sessions.
- Trust your coach and the process, especially at such a young age.
- Don’t coach from the sidelines during games. We don’t want mixed messages.
- Update Team Snap often regarding attendance to training sessions and games. Use the “add note” feature to provide details.
- Encourage good habits (food, water, rest, sleep, etc.)
- Do not talk to the referee, or about the referee, and do not complain about bad calls.
- Please don’t engage with the opposing parents in a negative way.
- Try not to say “go, run, kick it, boot it,” etc. Talk to you child and the coach to find out who they are working on at the time. Help the individual, group and team by asking the correct things during games.
- Do not crowd the field (players and referees need a buffer).
- Cheer for your team, not just your child.
- Be an example of good sportsmanship.
- If you have concerns, please take 24 hours to share them. Please write an email first, and if needed, ask for a follow-up call. If you are feeling uncomfortable with communicating with your coach, please contact the Director by email first.
- Parents should never approach the Coach during an event or game. All issues should be discussed at a later date after taking at least 24 hours to cool down after the event has concluded..
Social Media:
Please take lots of photos and videos throughout the season. Follow our social media channels, use tags/hashtags, and share. We love to celebrate our players and teams!
