2025 Season begins the end of October (after soccer ends) and goes to Christmas.

COACH SMART'S TEAM RULES & GUIDELINES

PICKUP - pickup at parking lot behind the bus garage or in the front parking lot 4:45 and 5 pm.  Avoid the circle as you may get stuck if the late bus is there.

TRANSPORTATION

All  players must ride the bus to matches.  Any exceptions will need to be approved by the coach and athletic director 24 hours in advance.

You may ride home with person(s) on your transportation form, but you must be signed out.

No Food Consumed on bus. Kids laugh a lot on bus -- we do not need any choking instances.  If we have a match you should eat a small snack during sports study hall -- not on the bus.

Only water bottles allowed on bus (no sugary sticky drinks -- painful when they spill -- and they will spill)

UNIFORM INFO

One Jersey is provided to players / players provide own shorts.

Shorts - Color - preferably navy (black is acceptable)  All solid in color please.  You do not have to wear spandex

Knee Pads - all players should provide their own knee pads.

No jewelry for practice or games (not a league rule, but is a coaches rule) - Let's prevent a ripped out ear lobe. 

MATCHES

At home and away matches, the 8th grade team will sit together in a designated area.

No food or snacks at the bench area

PLAYING TIME - We do not discuss playing time.  It is at the coaches' discretion and based on the player's skill, coachability, attendance and on the level of the opposing team.    If you miss any part of a practice, your playing time will be affected.
