Try to keep the area clean.
We will be scheduling CPR Training – please let us know if you want to do it and we’ll schedule it early in the fall.

Goals & Equipment
The door to the trailer/container can be opened by obtaining the key. The key is locked behind a passcode. The passcode was provided to all coaches via email. If you are missing it, email the board.
The goals are locked by key and passcode. If you need the key, it’s the same as the one used for the trailer. If passcode, it’s the same as the one used for the trailer. Last game of the day must lock up goals.

Fall Sessions, we run out of daylight very quickly. October 1st sunset is at 6:30 so we may have to combine sessions.

Coaching Tips
Know your roster for practice and games. All RSVPs are required. Please host a Parent Meeting at practice or game day to fill them in on what to expect. Every kid should get their turn to play. Hopefully at least 1/2 a game. Reward players who put in good effort and attend games and practices. Some players have a training only package – with only some game days.

Uniforms
Make sure everyone has ordered and tried on the uniforms. Rumor that there is a month delay. Please make sure parents go down to Sports Shack to order and get a timeframe.
