PARENTS ENCOURAGEMENT:

This training goes WELL above just the sport, it is total education. Children grow in confidence and competence through the practice, on the field at games, community involvement events, playoffs, competitions and more!  Older team members mentor younger team members and every child is part of a team of friends where everyone strives to be the best they can be and encourage each other.  Bullying is not allowed and will not be tolerated.  

It is important for each child to recognize that every person is different and develops skills at different times and to their comfort level. 

Please make sure that your child understands the following........

* There may be those who have participated for many years that will never reach their level of ability

* There may be those who have participated for fewer years that are at a much higher level of ability than I am

* You should never compare yourself to those that have a higher level of ability but rather look at how  far you have come and what you can still achieve.

* You should compete with yourself to get better, and not others out of envy

* You should encourage and applaud others who share your  goals no matter where their ability lies compared to yours.

* You should  fix and practice the skills that you need to improve on to be the best asset to the  team as you can.

*  Remember that the road to accomplishment is a long road with many detours along the way, but with commitment and perseverance will keep you headed in the right direction.

* Make sure to put your heart and passion into all you do and remember that your talent is a gift that is to be nurtured & developed.

* Most of all, take pride in what you do and believe in yourself!
