An important part of teamwork is practice. This is the time you learn the game and the skills to play well.   To learn game skills and strategy, it is important that players attend practices. Your coach will notify you as to the location and the day/time of practices. Generally, practices are held once or twice a week at local schools or parks. Coaches should be notified ahead of time if a practice will be missed.   See that players are on time, and have transportation to practices and games. This is not the responsibility of the coach. If you are unable to stay during practice, please don't be late picking up your child, the coach is not a babysitter.   Excessive absence from practices and games is sufficient cause to contact parents and discuss with the Player and Parents continuation or suspension from the team.   All players who attend practices and are in attendance for the entire game will play at least half the game, excluding overtime. All others will play a minimum of one 'quarter'.   A player not showing up for either practices or games for three consecutive weeks, without notifying the Coach, will be considered as having left the program. If they had been issued a uniform, it must be turned in.
