Athletes will come prepared to practice with goggles, mouth guard, stick, water bottle, and cleats (sneakers when indoors).
Athletes will communicate with coach in advance, via remind or email, if they cannot attend practice for any reason or need to leave early.
Athletes will be good teammates, which means:
Treat each other with respect
Cheer each other on
Never place blame on one another
Phones will not be used during practice, they should remain in the Athletes backpack at all times.
Use of phones will only be allowed on the bus ride home from away games.
All athletes are expected to remain present for both 7th & 8th grade games, home and away.
While an effort will be made to ensure all athletes receive play time, we are also looking to complete and as such, the following will be considered when deciding the starting lineup.
Does the athlete give a 100% at practice?
Is the athlete a good teammate?
Is the athlete coachable (i.e. accepts and implements feedback to improve)
Was the athlete at the practice before the game (if not, they cannot start)
