Pass on to team members and their parents any communication regarding canceled games or practices, re-scheduled games or practices, Club events such as Photo Day, Jamborees, Coaching Clinics, Tournaments, social events, re-registration and newsletters from the Club.
The Manager and Coach are responsible for advising any parent that may be interfering with the game or the practice that they are committing a serious infraction of NEU rules of Soccer and that the parent could cause his team to forfeit the game and/or cause the Coach to be disciplined. It is the Team Coach who is ultimately responsible for the conduct of team parents and spectators at the game, so please keep cheering and behavior positive!
Support with any team meetings. We recommend that Team Coaches hold a team meeting with parents at the beginning of the season to review issues such as game and practice expectations, safety, communications and problem solving. Managers would work with your Team Coaches to arrange such a meeting early in the season.
All team coaches and managers will be required to complete their requirements in GotSport and carry their pass with them at all times. Click HERE for a guide.
