Philosophy:

I believe that playing soccer should be fun so that players want to come back and continue to play. That being said, we are also trying to build skills to stay competitive and advance as a team. We are trying to teach not only soccer skills, but good sportsmanship as well.

I expect players to come to practice and games properly equipped (shin guards, ball and water). There are 8 mandatory practices/month (2 per week). If you need to miss a practice (illness, doctor's appoinments, etc.), please call or email me as I plan practices based on numbers. Attendance is important for skill development and team cohesion, and it can impact playing time. I will also try to schedule scrimmages to offer players the opportunity for more touches and to play different positions.

As far as my expectations for parents, I would like you to be positive, cheer on players, be on time and participate in team activities as much as you can.
