Parents Code
RESPECT Your:
• Self – Always keep a positive attitude! Play the game for your own benefit and enjoyment, not just to please your parents or coach!
• Coach – Treat me like you would treat your teacher! Remember I am here to help you become a better soccer player! Please feel comfortable to come to me one-on-one with any personal soccer-related problem.
• Teammates – T-E-A-M There is no “I” in team. Selfish play will not help the Freedom achieve its goals. Treat your teammates both on and off the field as you would like them to treat you.
• Opponents - Treat them as you would like them to treat you.
• Referees – If you disagree with or question the referee talk to your coach. Do not talk back or argue with the referee. That is the coach’s responsibility. Remember that referees are only human and they make mistakes, just like you.
PRACTICES AND GAMES
• Be on time for both practices and games. If you need to be at the field at 8:00 that means you need to be ready to play with your gear on at 8:00. This does not mean that you show up at 8:00 without your gear.
• Remember that practices are just as important as games. Your attendance not only helps you as a player but your team as well. If you must miss a practice or a game, either call or email your coach.
• Each of you must bring a ball to practices and games. Coaches will not be bringing balls to practices and games. This is your responsibility as a soccer player.
• Practice uniforms will be worn at every practice/training session.
• Train and play to the best of your ability, have a positive attitude, and encourage others to do the same. Remember you play the way you practice.
• Don’t be afraid to make mistakes!!! As long as you give 110% both at practices and games, mistakes can be corrected.
Training
• Players must take the time to reinforce the skills taught at practices on their own at home. This is crucial if you want to become a better player, and get more time on the field!
• Players should be touching a soccer ball every day! Different ways to do this will be discussed at practices.
• Juggle as often as you can. This will tremendously help your touch on the ball. Try to beat your own highest score using all parts of your body, especially your feet!
• Soccer is as much a game of fitness as it is a game of skill. Players must work hard to train appropriately. Players should run at least three times a week, especially if they are not participating in any other sport.
• You will be getting training packets during practices that will help you get faster both on and off the ball, and have more endurance. This is very important since we are moving to a much higher level of competition!
Consequences Include:
• Verbal warning from coach
• Reduced playing time
• Removal from team if you break any of these rules repeatedly
o Laps will be the penalty for:
Being late for practice
Not wearing the correct practice uniform
Not having your ball
It is a privilege to be a player of the Freedom. I understand that I must follow the rules of the team and the League in which my team plays. I further understand that in order to remain a player in good standing I must follow these rules.
