Player Expectations-
•Arrive on the field 30 min prior to the start time of each game for proper warm-up
•Wear appropriate colors for games and always bring all jerseys in case we need to change
•Remove necklaces, wrist bands, watches, hats, etc. prior to coming to games
•Wear shin guards and cleats
•Bring a size 4 soccer ball to EVERY game
•Bring water or sports drink to EVERY game.  A 12 oz. BOTTLE IS GENERALLY NOT SUFFICIENT.
Respect the fields (pick up plastic bottles & trash), coaching staff and teammates
When leaving games, be sure to take all of your belongings (sweatshirt / pants, backpack, ball, etc.)
Do not ask the coaches to play in a specific position

Parent Expectations-
•See player expectations regarding timely arrival to games, proper attire, sufficient amount of water, etc.  We encourage you to place some of this responsibility on your son.  We hope that you would agree that we should not be hearing “My Mom (or Dad) did not give me any water”.
•Timeliness is especially important for games.  Players need to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to kickoff.  The coaches need an appropriate amount of time to properly warm up the players and get them into the right frame of mind for the upcoming game.  Tardiness to games may result in a player receiving reduced playing time for that game.  
•Coaching from the parents sidelines is not acceptable.  Many times the message that a parent sends is counter to what the coach has asked of the player.
•Questioning or yelling at the referees during a game is not acceptable.  Remember these players are 8-9 years old!

Resources

The Youth Academy Director (Kevin Flanagan) and the coaching staff will be available throughout the season to discuss your child’s progress. Training and game fields are not always the best time or place for these discussions. Emails are welcome and will receive a response. We will have parent meetings throughout the season to update you on the status of the NMSC Youth Academy program.

We look forward to a great season!
