Rule 8 – Playing Time • • •
• •
It is in the best interest of the club and its teams to afford each player as much playing Rme as possible. This will provide the opportunity for player development and advancement in the club. While playing Rme may vary from game to game, for the junior teams (U-‐14 and under), coaches will ensure that each player receives a minimum average playing Rme across the season of approximately one third of each game. There is no guarantee of playing Rme for U15 and above Playing Rme shall be determined by the coach and may be regulated by the coach for reasons such as: – Unexcused absence. – Lack of parRcipaRon in pracRces, afendance at games, poor physical condiRon. – Player altude. – UnsporRng conduct. – Not showing up in Rme for the 30 minute warm up – For the condi,ons above, the coaches are encouraged to advise the player that playing ,me might be cut
Rule 7 – Player ParKcipaKon • Players must be prepared to make a major commitment to soccer. • They must be commifed to afending all pracRces and games unless there are good reasons for the absence. • Given the club focus on teaching, pracRces are viewed as equally important as games. • Players who miss pracRce may lose playing Rme.
Becoming an Expert Player • Maximize the Rme being involved with the game every day – *Free Play (Individually or in Groups) – They should own a ball – Unorganized Play – IPod ApplicaRon – Watching Games – Playing Soccer Video Games – Going to Camps – Going to Games
