PHILOSOPHY & EXPECTATIONS - PLAYERS, COACHES &
PARENTS Welcome to the Fall 2004 soccer season. We hope that everybody has a very enjoyable and an at least moderately successful season. This new “Hoover United” team is the result of the merger of two “depleted” teams, most of whose players attend Hoover MS. This will be a somewhat transitional season as the girls learn to play with each other while the two coaches learn about the new players. There are some playing changes: The roster has increased from 13 or 14 to around 18. The girls go from playing 9 vs 9 to playing 11 vs 11. They’ll be playing with a #5 ball (the largest size). And of course, this is the year of Bar and Batmitzvahs, which might lead to player shortages. PRACTICES &
GAMES Practices will be on Fridays from 4:00 to 5:00 pm
at Wayside Elementary school. Please be on time to pick up your children.
Practices are not going to run later than 5.00 pm. CANCELLATIONS
OF GAMES & PRACTICES
-
If weather
leads to cancellation of practices or games, I will email everyone and try
to post it on site. Game cancellations will also be posted on MSI
website www.msisoccer.org. (We
might also set up a phone tree or have parental volunteers make calls.) If
it’s pouring or lightning, we won’t practice. Every coach, including the Hoover United coaches, obviously have their own approaches/idiosyncrasies, but the underlying approach should be that, while trying to make the players become better players , and to do as best they can as a team, soccer should ultimately be regarded as fun – a game - and all the girls should enjoy playing the world's most popular sport. Basically, the children should take the games seriously, while they are playing; and they should not care at all, when the games are over. And the coaches should care even less about the results than do the players (which of course is not always easy). To be magnanimous in victory; to be calm and gracious in defeat. The coaches (as well as players and parents) don't scream at or argue with referees even if they are clearly in the wrong. We don't tolerate fouls. We don’t accept bad sportsmanship from the players (or parents). We don't shout at, or criticize, or take off players when they make mistakes. We expect if one of the girls makes a mistake, that the other girls will console her; not critique or ridicule her. Soccer is a team sport. Parental
conduct is a major concern of MSI, and they strongly penalize teams whose
parents do not conduct themselves appropriately. It should scarcely need
stating but Parents must display good sportsmanship. They must
shout only encouragement – not offer criticism. They must
not issue instructions to anybody on the team about where to play or
what to do – even to your own daughters. Only the coaches should shout
instructions to the girls (and even that should be limited) –My own
biggest flaw as a coach, is excessively shouting at players to run forward
or to get back. However I don't shout instructions that they should pass
or shoot, etc and I don’t critique them for errors. To conclude: We freely acknowledge that some of the players' parents may, in fact, actually be better coaches than the team's designated coaches. However, as long as John and I are the coaches, please restrict your game-attendance role, to ensuring your daughter comes to practices and games; cheering, encouraging and if necessary, commiserating. And always encourage your daughters to be good sports - win or lose. |

HOOVER UNITED - "RULES OF BEHAVIOR/CONDUCT" Parental conduct is a major concern of MSI, and they strongly penalize teams whose parents do not conduct themselves appropriately. It should scarcely need stating but Parents MUST display good sportsmanship, and shout ONLY encouragement - NOT criticism or instructions to anybody on the team, including their own children. Only the coaches should shout instructions to the team (and even that should be limited.) I freely acknowledge that some of the players' parents may, in fact, actually be better coaches than the team's designated coaches. However, as long as Carol, Jacob and I are the coaches, please restrict your game-attendance role, to cheering everyone, and commiserating when our players make mistakes, or let in goals. Please do NOT, during the game shout to your child - or to other children on the team - to do something, or play somewhere, contrary to what the coaches are telling them to do. And always encourage your daughters to be good sports whether we win or lose. |

SOCCER EXPECTATIONS
In the Fall of 2002, the roster size increased from 12 (13) to 15.
The team went from seven-a-side to nine-a-side....a goalie; 2 or 3
defenders; 3 or 4 midfielders; 2 attackers PARENTAL ROLE |

PAST NOTES
The only "requirement" is that they should be enjoying
playing soccer. The only thing that is asked of the kids
-- and requested that the parents make sure their own, understand --
is that when they comes to practices and games, they should be
prepared to try their best; to listen to their coaches; and not to
fool around, as occasionally occurred last season.
Every coach, including the Wayside United coaches, obviously have
their own approach/idiosyncrasies, but the underlying approach should
be that, while trying to make the players play as well as they can,
and to do as best they can as a team, soccer should ultimately be
treated as fun and all the kids should enjoy playing the world's most
popular sport. |

FALL 2003 - CONCLUDING REMARKS
Congratulations to everyone on the team for overcoming a lot of
adversity and for continuing to improve throughout the season. The way
the team played in the final few games was so very different from the
beginning of the season.
FALL 2003 OPENING REMARKS

SPRING 2003 - CONCLUSION
A number of parents have asked about what's going to happen to the
team, in the Fall. The bottom line is that after much
consideration, I have decided that I WILL definitely coach this team
in the Fall, irrespective of whether or not my own daughter is on the
team (which she may very well be) I really do not
want this team to fall apart, and I think it would be good to have a
little stability, as our daughters move from Elementary to Middle
School. As far as I know, most people will be returning to
this team in the Fall. (We will have to change our name from Wayside
United to Hoover United???) |
|
FALL 2002 - CONCLUSION |
THANKS
Many thanks to all the girls on the team for all they have done - which included
playing in positions, they may have felt they were not best suited at; for
trying their hardest; and for remaining good sports in both victory and defeat.
Many thanks to David Kalen and Carol Maio for co-coaching the team. Thanks to all the parents
for ensuring your daughters come to practice and get to the games early; and for
bringing drinks and snacks (and of course, for not second-guessing the coaches!)

HOOVER UNITED - "RULES OF BEHAVIOR/CONDUCT" Parental conduct is a major concern of MSI, and they strongly penalize teams whose parents do not conduct themselves appropriately. It should scarcely need stating but Parents MUST display good sportsmanship, and shout ONLY encouragement - NOT criticism or instructions to anybody on the team, including their own children.

Please do NOT, during the game shout to your child - or to other children on the team - to do something, or play somewhere, contrary to what the coaches are telling them to do. And always encourage your daughters to be good sports whether we win or lose. There is no minimum level of skill needed to enjoy playing soccer. MSI welcomes everybody who wants to play - and guarantees everyone on the team the same amount of soccer playing time (at least half the game). Every child brings to the team different qualities and the team melds their different abilities. And of course the more soccer games they play (and the more they practice), the better they all become.
The only "requirement" is that they should be enjoying
playing soccer. The only thing that is asked of the kids
-- and requested that the parents make sure their own, understand --
is that when they comes to practices and games, they should be
prepared to try their best; to listen to their coaches; and not to

Know the full name of your child's
coach and have his/her telephone number handy. |
