Coaches and Management

  1. Be sure that your child attends all practices and games
  2. Ensure that the player is prompt when arriving and departing. If unable to attend a game or practice, notify the coach and/or manager of the team. Persistent, unexcused absences and lateness may affect the future inclusion of a player on the game roster.
  3. Ensure that your child brings all equipment and uniforms to games and practices.
  4. Support your child’s coach and help when you can. Disagreements with your coach do not belong on the field. Questions, input and positive suggestions should be voiced to the coach in the absence of players.
  5. Parents are encouraged to come and watch games and practices, but should not shout instructions from the sidelines. This causes confusion. Players should listen for coach’s and referee’s instructions only.

Parents and Family members of players share the responsibility of creating a strong developmental environment in which the player can build skills, self-confidence and good sportsmanship.

Parents and Family members must recognize that the coaches are volunteer coaches who give large amounts of time for your children.
