7th/8th Boys A Soccer

Fall 2010

Schedule:
The game calendar can be found HERE. The website will always have the most up to date information. Please check often because there's a chance games can change!  If your child cannot make a particular game, it is very important that you let me know in advance.  Thanks!

Philosophy:
My philosophy as a coach is to help develop kids as athletes while teaching the importance of sportsmanship, teamwork, leadership and a strong work ethic. A sports team is a great opportunity for kids to learn these lessons and have fun while they do it. The 7th/8th boys A team will strive to be as competitive as possible, working on fitness, skills, and strategy during practices. I will strive to distribute playing time equally between all healthy, eligible players, though playing time will also be determined by effort and attitude in practice and games. The overall focus of the season will be on skill development, game strategy, and creating excitement about the game of soccer.

 
Equipment:
All players must have proper attire. Players must wear soccer cleats, as both baseball and football cleats are not allowed for safety reasons. If this is impossible, players should wear supportive athletic shoes.  All players must wear shin guards during game play.  Players should wear athletic clothing, and bring layers for colder weather. 
 
Practices:
We practice through Quint I on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 2-3:30p. All our practices will be at Bobby Morris Play Field.  If you want to pick your child up from practice, or allow them to leave from there, please let me know or have them let me know in advance.
 

Parent Help:   Parents are encouraged to come out to games, to bring snack (and jackets for themselves and their children!) and I look forward to meeting you and working with your kids throughout the season.
