Recommendations
- All players should get equal playing time every game and should
rotate among the positions (during the season) so that everyone has a
fun and educational soccer experience!
- Focus on the fun, not the score. Remember, regular
season games do not effect your playoff position.
- Call your players soon. Give them the first few practice
dates and remind them to bring their own ball, water bottle, and shin guards.
- Speak to the parents at the first practice about: practice/game
schedule, snack schedule, playing time, position rotation, sportsmanship,
encouragement, etc. Emphasize fun!
- Handout the Player's and Parent's Code of Ethics forms or
point them out in the rule book. Ask the Parents to read them so
that the VAA rules and ideals are clear.
Game scores no longer need to be reported after each game.
