Do NOT be a player’s last coach. You do NOT want to be the reason a child gives up on a sport.

The 24 Hour Rule: Parent/Guardians may request a meeting or discussion with the Coach or Age Director. Such a meeting however shall not take place until a minimum of 24 hours after the request has been made and a minimum of 24 hours after a game.

I am committed to making a positive impact on this team and will fulfill the above expectations.
