  7. Intown Philosophy FUN - Recreational, Developmental, and Instructional Allow kids to develop at their own rate Coaches set the tone and set the example For many of players, this is a social event, not an athletic one First time many of them will have played on a “team” It is NOT about winning the game, Its about: Participating Teaching Encouraging Creating a love for the sport Community Friendships

  8. Coaches Are So Important • Allow the kids to excel at their own rate – Each player is unique • De-emphasize winning (It is about Development) • Emphasize: • skills development • fitness improvement • Learning & fun • Create opportunities for fun & socialization

  9. Fields & Severe Weather WYSA and Your Priority is to keep the kids safe Carry In/ Carry Out Policy – please spread the word Check WYSA’s website and FB page for game cancellations or field closures (encourage parents to do the same) When you see lightning or hear thunder seek shelter Waiting period before returning to the fields is 30 min after lightening On game days, a Board Member will make the call On practice days the coaches will be responsible for the safety of the team on the field Coaches are CORI checked Parents should plan to pick up their children on the field

  32. Intown Post Season Awards The Board of Directors wants all children to have a great experience with our Intown soccer program. We respectfully request that no trophies, medals or prizes be given out at the end of the soccer season. The program is developmental and stresses participation as well as fun over competition and individual recognition. To help recognize participation for the players in PreK - 2nd grade we have established a patch program. For each season (Fall & Spring) that a player participates they will receive a season specific patch. We will continue to recognize all players (Intown and Travel) with the annual spring awards in addition to the patch program. Intown with patches and Travel with the annual spring awards based on Commissioners Cup or MTOC placement. 

  33. Patches for Participation The intent is to provide all Intown players with a patch at the end of the season as recognition for their participation in the program. Each season they participate in they will receive a new, season specific, patch to add to their collection.
