2)      Player Rules/Expectations

a)      Be on time for practice.  Show up one-hour before start time on game-days.  If players do not train (with some exceptions), they will not start or play at all. 

b)      Absences: All “acceptable” reasons (i.e. serious illness, etc) will be verified at some point by a member of the coaching staff. If player is caught lying, he will be dismissed from the team.

c)      Not acceptable reasons for missing practice: VACATION!!, player does not feel like it, tired, no ride, etc.

d)      Protocol for missing practice: text coaches, or call coaches, or come by room 409 to notify me.  It is not acceptable to relay notification of practice to a teammate, or to simply not notify the coaching staff at all.

e)      Be respectful of coaching staff, teammates, referees, opponents and fans/parents in the stands.  No profanity/cursing during practice or games.

3)      Parent Rules/Expectations

a)      Parent behavior during matches is a major issue.  You are expected to be respectful of the coaching staff, ALL PLAYERS (this includes your child), referees, opponents and fans/parents in the stands.  It is common practice of high school referees’ to give coaches yellow/red cards for the behavior of parents in the stands.  If the latter happens, you will be banned from all home and away games for the season and your son will be pulled out of the game.

b)      All comments during the game should be positive and to motivate the players.  Please refrain from “coaching” during the game.  This is our job, not yours. Comments like “kick the ball” or “shoot” or any tactical comment(s) are not acceptable.

c)      Communication protocol:  Any questions about games/tactics will only be asked/answered one full day AFTER a match.  The coaches will not answer any questions prior to, during, or immediately after matches. Questions about playing time will simply not be answered.  Playing time will be awarded to players who show up to practice, give us the best chance to win, and that give us a tactical advantage.
