The Patriots operate under the
premises of creating a fun, positive environment for
our players, where they can grow in soccer and in
life.
For this to happen, we look at a
player to be part of the team to have the following
attributes:
(In this order):
1. Are the parents
friendly, helpful, committed, non argumentative,
willing to help with the team, organization,
volunteering, fun-raising or officiating?
2. Are the parents and
player willing to commit to the team with the development of
a
higher level of play in
mind or are they going to be looking to change teams
if the girls don't win every game or things get a
little rough?
3. Are the parents and
player willing to make the team a priority vs.
dancing, horse back riding, acting, marbles, etc.
(School excluded) during the height of the spring
and fall soccer seasons? (Winter activities other
than soccer are encouraged).
4. Does the player listen
to coaching instructions and is the player honestly
willing to be a better player and to give 100% at
practices and games?
The Patriots were founded with the
understanding that being a Patriot is a privilege.
No one has the "right" to play on the Patriots!
Playing for the Patriots is an opportunity given by
the team to the player and the family of the player
that wants to compete at a different level.
There is NO one player in
the team that is above this privilege! As such,
players and parents that want to be part of the team must
understand that there is an inherit responsibility
to the team, to be there for them if a player wishes
to be a Patriot.
