This will be our 2nd season entering a girls soccer team in the VCAC League (Va. Catholic Asso. Conference). Our objectives for the teams at St. Francis are: LEARN THE SPORT WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM UNDERSTAND AND GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP HAVE FUN Each year our teams have done remarkably well. Much of this has to do with the dedication, time and patience of the coaches, some of whom are parents of players. With this in mind, please remember that any help you can offer your child s coach/team is greatly appreciated. The cover page lists all headings contained in this sports packet. By signing this page you agree that you have read all the information contained in this packet and will abide by and agree to all rules, procedures and fees due. The Cover Page, Permission and Medical slip, Code of Conduct, and t-shirt order form must be completed and returned before your student can participate.

Without your involvement, children would not be able to get to and from practice and games, there would be no coaches, sports director, sports committee etc. Remember, those who volunteer to coach need your cooperation and support. If you feel a need to talk to a coach about his/her coaching approach, please consult with the coach and see if a different approach would work better for your child. A good coach is open to any concerns from the parents. Both parties should be respectful of one another and never demeaning to each other.
