Practices
Your coach will expect your child to be prepared to practice, Practices times and days are setup by your coach at the start of the season. We do ask coaches to work with the parents on the team to find a time and location that works best for all. Also we ask coaches to hold 2-3 practices in late August before the start of the season.
Please be sure that your child has on cleats (double knotted) and shin guards (worn under socks at all times). Please bring the correct size soccer ball (TOT's and Kindergarten - size 3, 1st to 6th Grade - size 4, 7th and Up - size 5) and a full water bottle. All items should be labeled with your child’s name and phone number. Long hair should be tied back and no jewelry (including necklaces, earrings, watches or hair clips) should be worn. Please have your child visit the restroom before practice.
PLEASE BE ON TIME to pick your child up from practice. Not only is this a common courtesy, but a safety issue as well. If your child is to go home with someone else, please be sure to personally notify your coach prior to the start of practice. By the same token, sometimes coaches can be delayed. Do not leave your child on the practice field without a coach in attendance.
Games
All players should plan to arrive to the fields at least fifteen minutes before their game begins unless otherwise instructed by your coach. Again, please come ready to play. Your child should wear his/her team jersey, shin guards under socks and cleats!!
Parking is available at Zukor Park and Kennedy Dells Park. Please drive slowly as the lots get full with hundreds of kids.
If you will miss (or be late to) a practice or a game…
Be sure to notify your coach as far in advance as possible. Soccer is a team sport and while a perfect attendance record may be nearly impossible, please try to be fair to the rest of your child’s team when planning vacations and other events.
