I am looking forward to a season filled with fun...and many opportunities for your kids to improve their soccer skills.

I believe in creating a positive supportive environment for our team so that every player has a rewarding and memorable experience. I expect our kids to respect their teammates, coaches, opponents, parents and referees. We will learn how to be good winners...and yes good losers too.

I ask that you help to reinforce these ideals when you come to the games and/or practices and please limit your interaction with the kids to positive encouragement only. As we all know, we are our children's most important role models. Please let's all set as good an example as we possibly can.

Practices: Please have your child arrive at least 5 minutes before the start of practice. Your child needs to bring a water bottle, cleats, shin guards and ball to each practice. Balls and water bottles should be properly labeled.

If your child is unable to make a practice please let me know in advance. My practice plans are often times based on how many kids attend. And finally if your child misses a practice before a game without good reason he or she may jeopardize the amount of playing time they are given during that next game.

Games: Please try to arrive 30 minutes before the start of our game. For each game your child needs to bring their uniform jersey, water bottle, cleats and shin guards. And if your child is unable to make a game please let me know a week in advance.

Note: Our Goalies need to bring a different colored shirt then our team jersey and goalie gloves though optional are encouraged. Sorry I don't have either gloves or a goalie jersey

Cancellations: Unless you hear otherwise via e-mail (1st choice), phone or text we will always have practices or games. If you are unsure, you are welcome to call me any time.
I have not received our schedule for this season. Hopefully I'll have it in the next couple weeks. I am forwarding you FBS rules that should give you some insights into our league play.

After our practice next Monday I'd like to meet with the parents briefly to go over a couple things, collect your forms and answer any of your questions.

I am really looking forward to another great soccer season and to the time spent coaching your kids.

Thanks,

Coach Johnston
