High School age boys “pick up” games will be on Sunday from 3:00PM to 5:00PM.
Each coach should receive a “coaches notebook” similar to 2003. This shall include a roster, rulebook, and code of conduct for parents to sign and return to their respective child’s coach. A reminder to post the parent’s code of conduct per game, and sheets or reminders for the winning coach to provide the scores and synopsis of each game for posting on our web site will also be included.
Coaches meeting shall be held, previous to the start of the season, to review rules of fair play and expectations of individual coaches.
