Coaches All our coaches are parents who have volunteered to coach your child's team Our coaches have been asked to wear a red Kanata Dragons T shirt so they are easy to spot Please assist your child s coach if asked to do so
Snacks It is club policy that coaches do not organize the snack roster If your team decide to have snacks then we request that a parent who is not coaching volunteers to organize the snack roster Please try to keep the snacks healthy and please no nuts
Inclement weather With the exception of lightening, soccer always goes ahead We believe that you know your child's tolerance to inclement weather better than we do Parents are therefore asked to make their own decision if they wish to attend soccer in inclement weather Should a session be cancelled it will not be rescheduled
