Coaches Expectations
1. Coaches will need to pass a background check prior to the start of the season. The Commissioner will contact coaches concerning this prior to the start of practices.
2. Playing Time: Each player must play at least half of the game. No player is permitted to sit on the sidelines for three consecutive drives.
3. Teams must hold a minimum of one practice per week (unless weather forces cancellations).
4. Fun and Winning: The obsession with winning is driving young athletes away from sports. Athletes need to have fun and learn the game at the same time.
5. Coaches need to be on time for each league event and should never leave a participant alone. A coach should never be alone with one of their players. Ask another parent or another coach to stay with you and the athlete until their ride arrives.
6. Coaches will communicate with the parents frequently regarding schedule changes, issues that may arise, etc.
It is extremely important that we, as coaches, remember that a successful youth coach is defined by how many of their players decide to return to play again next season.
