Parents/Guardians/Caregivers, please take a moment to review the following with your child.
…

I will compete within the rules of soccer. Integrity and good sportsmanship are my top priorities.

I will be respectful to coaches, referees, parents/guardians/caregivers, spectators, and players. Do not create an incident that would be cause for your removal from the game.

I will be a positive influence on the team. Recognize that your behavior becomes a model others may choose to emulate. Good sportsmanship and positive support for your teammates, and others, is a necessity for all players.

I will follow the team rules established by the coach. If the coach is constantly confronted with discipline problems, practices and games will not be fun for anyone.

I will attend every practice and game that I can and will notify my coach if I cannot.

I will talk with my parents/guardians/caregivers and/or coaches if soccer stops being fun or if I feel that I have not received a fair and equal amount of playing time.

I will not allow practices and games to take precedence over school and homework. Soccer is a game. There are many things in life that are more important.

• We will provide the necessary team equipment for each practice/game.
• Each player should bring their own equipment (jersey, cleats, shinguards) to every practice/game.
• There should be no sharing of water bottles between players (unless they reside in the same household).
• We strongly advise limiting the use of frequently touched surfaces (goal posts, benches, water fountains, etc).
• Clean and disinfect shared items between use.
• Don’t share towels, clothing, or any items used to wipe your face or hands.
• Avoid sharing food, drink containers (e.g., coolers), and utensils.

The length of practices may vary based on age, weather, etc. but most practices will last for about an hour to an hour and a half.

Practices and Games for our U8-U14 Club teams are held at the Athletes In Action Sports Complex in Xenia, Ohio.

The safety of players and participants is of utmost importance. Soccer fields can be very dangerous during severe weather.

• You are in danger if you can see lightning.
• You are in danger from lightning if you can hear thunder.
• Lightning often travels sideways as far as 10 miles and can strike away from any rainfall, even when skies are blue.

In event of a storm, games and/or practices must be stopped and suspended until the danger has passed using the following minimum criteria:

(1) The sighting of a lightning flash or the hearing of the sound of thunder shall be enough reason to stop and suspend a game or practice;

• Do not wait until it rains
• Do not try to reach the end of a quarter or the end of a game.

(2) Coaches shall take their players to a safe location upon suspension of a game and/or practice;

(3) Following suspension of a game, the referees shall promptly leave the field to a safe location;

(4) Play and/or practice shall not be resumed prior to 30-minutes after the last sighting of lightning or the last sound of thunder heard.
