Fluid Replenishment<br />
It is essential that you keep your team hydrated during<br />
exercise. There are two hydration/rest breaks during<br />
each Soccer and Scouting practice session. Encourage<br />
your players to bring water or a sports drink to practice.<br />
Have extra on hand in case someone forgets. Be<br />
sure that your players replace the fluids that they have<br />
lost during exercise. If they don’t, you could have a<br />
medical emergency on your hands.<br />
Maximizing Relationships With Parents<br />
The following is covered in more detail in the Soccer<br />
and Scouting Organizational Guide. These recommendations<br />
are <strong>of</strong>fered in an effort to encourage parents to<br />
play a positive and productive role in your program:<br />
Parent Letter. Send each parent a copy <strong>of</strong> our Parent<br />
Introduction letter. Set the tone for future communications<br />
by inviting them to your Parent Meeting—get<br />
everyone “on the same page” in terms <strong>of</strong> goals, aspirations,<br />
and expectations for the coming season. Collate<br />
the Outcome Statements your players completed as<br />
their first Family Time assignment. List them on a<br />
sheet <strong>of</strong> paper or white board. Share and discuss. Prioritize<br />
the top five by asking each person to give a five<br />
to their most important priority and a one to the fifth<br />
priority. Add up individual scores and identify your<br />
top five priorities for the season.<br />
Parent Pledge. Get every parent to sign the Soccer and<br />
Scouting Parent’s Pledge. Hand out the Soccer and Scouting<br />
Praise Cards to each parent who signs the pledge.<br />
Make sure that they bring the cards to every midweek<br />
practice and weekend practice/scrimmage game.<br />
