Youth Soccer Philosophy
Back to team home page
 
  Overall philosophy  
 
  • Our overall objective is to have fun while learning to be better soccer players.
  • At all times, players will be respectful of each other, opponents, coaches, parents, and referees
  • At practices, we like to minimize standing around. If each player has a soccer ball, we can encourage juggling or passing with a teammate should there be any idle time. (The Dutch say, "Always with the ball!")
  • We work hard to win; we learn from our losses and quickly put them behind us.
  • We strive for equal playing time unless discipline issues force otherwise.
  • Cheers from the sidelines should be limited to the "great play" or "great try" variety
  • Coaches and parents subscribe to the BAYS Zero Tolerance policy regarding referees
