The
Season's fundraiser is with Helen Grace Chocolates. We are really excited about this fundraiser and ask that everyone
participate. Staying organized and writing everything down will be the key to
your success during the fundraiser.
*Banner Parent: A banner reinforces the team spirit and is needed at the BEGINNING of the season so promptness is imperative. Once the team picks a name the parent should make it that week. The banner ideally is 5-6 feet long and 4-5 feet high and made of sturdy fabric. It can be attached to 1 inch PVC pipes running through the hems on the sides and top. Use large letters so it is readable across a field. Can include kids' names if wanted. Also need a way to secure it to the ground. One option is to have 2 iron stakes (one foot length) to pound into the ground (bring hammer each game) and put pipes over them.
* Picture Day Parent. Make sure everyone confirms they are coming and help organize the team on the day of the region photos. Schedule.
* Party Coordinator . End of year team party planner

Parents attending their players'
games should be aware of the following:
|
No dogs on sidelines or
school property
Most of our games are played on schools. Our permits with the district specifically prohibit bringing dogs onto school property, and bringing dogs onto school property during your child's game jeopardizes our permit in a city where fields are extremely limited. |
Stay at least 1 yard off the field. The Laws of the Game require that all
spectators be at least 1 yard off the field of play. Spectators standing on the
touchline can inadvertently prevent a ball from going out of bounds, and are in
danger of contact by the players or the assistant referees. For these reasons,
please stay at least a yard off the touch line.
For your player. Typically coaches ask players to arrive 30 to 45 minutes
before the beginning of the game for all divisions above U06. The purpose is to
warm up the players to avoid injuries during play. Also be sure to bring liquid
for your player (water, Gatorade, or other electrolyte replacement drink) since
it's hot running around the field, even on a cool day. Don't forget sunscreen;
players and parents alike can get burned even on cloudy days.
