A FEW REMINDERS FOR GAMEDAY
Everyone has done great at the games this year. Yes, YOU, the parents and supporters! I just have a few gentle reminders for everyone. Please remember that this is a recreation league. Our main goal is to have fun while teaching the girls about the game of soccer. On game days, please remember to:
- Be positive with the children (I am working on this one as well!) Encourage them and if you need to offer constructive criticism, do it after the game away from the field. And use the "sandwich" method - say something positive, offer a suggestion of how they might "TRY" to change, and then say something positive again.
- Please do not yell at the referees. They can direct me to remove you from the field or they can red card me and throw me out of the game for not keeping our sideline in check (which will result in forfeit and suspension).
- As much as I like see the the girls' pets, please remember to leave the dogs at home. It is an insurance issue on which the club has given the coaches clear instruction. Especially on game day, the noise level is different, there are more strangers, and the chance that a dog could get spooked is more likely.
- Please help by bringing a plastic bag and helping pickup any trash or litter from the sidelines. Permission to use the parks is predicated on our keeping the pitch (field) clean. If the fields are not kept tidy, the city can elect to withdraw the field from the club.
- Lastly, try to have fun! Win or lose, the kids can see it in our faces. They are out there playing their hearts out, and THAT IS the victory. Praise them for their efforts and all that they are doing right.
Thank you for your continuing support.
