Starting Date

• We will run Mondays & Wednesdays from 6-7pm on the Stonewall Soccer fields

 

Respect/Discipline

• In mini soccer we expect parents to parent their children (both on and off) so that coaches can just be there to coach.  If there is a discipline issue coaches will simply have you come on to the field to deal with it.

 

• GUARDIAN MUST TAKE THEIR CHILDREN TO THE WASHROOM

 

• Please remember that the entire soccer committee is volunteer. We do the best we can. If you do have an issue/concern please communicate with us in a respectful manner.

 

• Please do not switch teams on your own because you are not happy with your group/team. If you have a concern let me know and we will work it out. If you are caught doing this you will be taken out of soccer for the year with NO REFUND.

 

 

Coaches

• Due to the increasing in Mini soccer players and the decreasing in parent volunteer coaches the committee has decided that:

 

• We will have as many teams as there is coaches.
• There will be no more than 8-10 kids per team (depending on age groups)
• If we do not have enough coaches then we will draw names for spots (obviously if you coach your child is guaranteed a spot) and people will be given refunds if their child’s name is not chosen.

 

• Please understand that we CANNOT run without coaches. We need about 60 coaches. There needs to be 2 coaches per team.

 

• We are very flexible when it comes to coaches.  Pair up with a friend and then your kids can be on the same team together.

 

• Never coached before?  No problem!  We have training sessions prior to the start of soccer. Everything is planned out for you, you literally don’ t have to plan anything.  You just have to show up and have fun!

 

We will send out one email after we receive all the registrations/volunteer coaches names to give everyone one last chance to volunteer as a coach before we draw names for the teams.

 

Looking forward to a great season!
