Keep Parents Informed

During the season, it is important that you keep your player’s parents informed.  Having a reliable team contact list helps!  You, the Team Parent, will be the primary team contact.  Updates will be emailed to you so please make sure we have your email address.  Update should be shared with your team.   It is your responsibility to inform your team and prepare them for all upcoming soccer events such as snack day, concessions and picture day.

You should also help the coach set a positive tone for the team.  Remind parents that coaches coach and parents cheer.  Remind them to be courteous to the referees, and pick up trash after practices and games.

Remember this is all about the kids having fun.
