3 MILTON YOUTH SOCCER MISSION STATEMENT Our Philosophy Milton Soccer wishes to create and foster a safe learning environment in which all children enjoy themselves and develop an appreciation for all aspects of the game of soccer. Soccer not only offers the opportunity to display specific physical skills, but more importantly, it offers the opportunity to develop a sense of team, cooperation, work ethic, self-discipline, and personal accountability and responsibility. Milton Soccer will continually strive to be a program, which stresses integrity, honesty, honor, and class. Program Objectives 1. TO ENJOY ONESELF The game must be fun to practice, play and learn 2. TO LEARN AND STUDY THE GAME The game must be played safely and fairly 3. TO VALUE EFFORT Effort is always stressed. The game allows for a wide range of skills 4. TO MAKE A COMMITMENT The game requires prioritizing all responsibilities. 5. TO LEARN SELF DISCIPLINE The game is based on teamwork as well as individual skills. 6. TO RESPECT SPORTSMANSHIP Players must learn and value healthy competition.

4 MILTON YOUTH SOCCER 1 ST GRADE RULES Note, times above include a -minute pre-session coach s meeting. To make things run smoothly, please be punctual. 1st Grade - 4v4 (no goalie) Boundaries: We do observe out of bounds. In the Fall we start with a simple kick-in to get the ball back in play, and then progress to throw-ins. In the Spring we start with throw-ins. We also do goal kicks, but no corner kicks (just do throw in from corner). Goalie: no goalie Each grade session consists of a 45-minute practice of fun activities and small sided games, and then a 30-minute game (2nd Grade plays a 45-minute game). It is suggested that you take a "half-time" break between the practice and the game. Good time to have a snack for the kids. Oranges, watermelon, something like that. Setup -each field will need 1 bag of PUGGS (they come two goals per bag). Only use hands to drive in stakes that hold down PUGGS. If you use your foot they will break. Breakdown - Fold up the PUGGS with a simple twisting motion (do not force) and put them two-to-a-bag. Return by the info board. 1 st Grade Field 34 Main Street, Suite 201, Plymouth, MA 02360Office: Fax:
