Parents Meeting Resources:
As players and parents are both often new to the game and the
soccer world, it is extremely important to communicate with
parents. This should be the job of both the team coach and the
organization. At the start of the year, we recommend you
(coach) hold a parent meeting to clarify goals and
expectations for the team. Initiating this communication will
help prevent confusion and stunt potential problems. It is
recommended that you have something in writing to hand to
parents at this meeting. By doing this, you are insuring that
your words are not being misconstrued. If there is a concern
down the line, you can reference the document to provide
clarification.
In this document, it is important that you list your coaching
philosophy and your goals for the team and players. It is also
important you discuss attendance expectations and disciplinary
measures as these areas are often the genesis of most
problems. You may wish to inform parents how and when they can
contact you if they have questions. Questions about players
should not be asked in front of other players or other
parents. Parents should not be asking questions during a game
or practice or at any time you are with the team. Coaches have
been known to have parents call at midnight or at 6 am to talk
about their children. If you do not want this to happen,
clarify that in your meeting and on your handout. Lastly, make
sure to address sideline behavior as well. Parents need to
remember that they are role models for their children and
uncontrolled behavior on the sideline is not acceptable. Each
meeting will differ based on the age and level of the players
you are coaching. Attached are sample handouts for a parent
meeting; turning these items into bullet point might be more
effective with many parents.

Facts to remember:
Passcards
(BAYS only) |
New BAYS coaches need to have passcards made. These cards
verify that you are a coach registered with the club and BAYS
and must be presented to the referee along with two copies of
your team rosters at each game. Please bring an approximately
1" x 1" headshot photo of yourself. This can be cut from a
larger picture.
We do can do this at the coaches meeting or
contact
our club
registrar Danielle Athanasiadis at
DAsoccer8@aol.com

Goal
Post Safety |
With the
start of the season we want to remind you about goal
post safety. We had one unfortunate incident a few
years ago
when a small sided goal blew over, striking
a player in the head.
The good news was that the
player, while injured, did not
sustain serious injury.
We all were very lucky.
Every goal should be secured to the ground for all
practices
and games. Most goal post injuries occur
either in practice or
before or after a match. It is critical that everyone take this
issue very seriously
and ensure goals are secured.

Game
Cancellation
or Rescheduling |
Coaches cannot cancelled their
games on their own due to rain
or bad weather. While playing in the rain is not the most
appealing thing, there is no reason to cancel games if the fields
are open.
Please remember that referees are assigned to all of these
games, and the referees for these cancelled games did their job,
and showed up to work, as they should have. If there are no
messages on the ASC hotline or our website that designated any
field closings - the ASC must now pay these referees, and then
pay for another set of referees to do the makeup games.
Coaches DO NOT have the authority to cancel games on their
own. If fields are open, you need to play. The only parties able
to cancel games are the ASC and the referees, if they deem that
there is a safety issue. Rain by itself is not a reason to cancel a
game.
If you have any questions about whether fields are open or
closed, you can do one of three things:
1) Call the ASC hotline at 781-641-4085. The line will be updated
by 7:30am for morning games, and 10:30am for afternoon games
2) Check this Website. We have a new feature that allows us to
put a message right on the home page if fields are closed 3) If all else
fails, and you are still confused, call your division
director.

Rain
Delays: |
Please
check the Arlington Soccer Club hotline Saturday
morning
to find out if games are cancelled. The
phone number is:
781-641-4085.
We will have a message recorded by 7:30 am if
morning games
are cancelled and a message recorded by
10:00 am if afternoon
games are cancelled.
IMPORTANT: please tell parents to contact you, don't
have
them call the hotline. The answering
machine quickly gets
overwhelmed. Only coaches should call the hotline.
If your game gets rained out, you need to work with
the
opposing coach to set up a makeup game. If
your game is a
home game, you need to coordinate this
with our field and
referee assignor, Paul
Athanasiadis at
Paul2319@aol.com.
A recommended way to do
this
is to talk to the opposing coach
to come up with two
or three possible days and times, then to
email these
to Paul. He will then assign you a day, time,
field
and referee.
