31 Jan 2007 - Rules for Training

Whilst general behaviour has been good at training this season it is disappointing that some children, although not disruptive, repeatedly do not try their best resulting in 'time wasting' and 'sloppy play'. This is frustrating not only for coaches but for those children who do give 100% all the time and are trying to become better players.


EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR AT TRAINING SESSIONS

> Arrive on time
> Everyone must follow all directions given by the coaches & assistant coaches
> Everyone must do their best
> When coaches talk players must be still and listen
> Everyone to be a good sport whether winning or losing
> No swearing, spitting or name-calling
> Disruptive or disrespectful behaviour will not be tolerated
> Do not kick your ball unless the coach tells you to do so

"Not doing your best lets you down and the whole team at training and on match days."

SHIN PADS AND A DRINK MUST BE BROUGHT TO EVERY TRAINING SESSION.

NO SHIN PADS = NO PLAY

Performance and attitude at training will from now on be THE MAIN criteria for team selection.
