Game Day Notes
- Equipment checklist: helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads, gloves, cup, cleats, stick, jersey, shorts, socks, MOUTHGUARD, water, healthy snack.
- Players are expected to arrive 1 hour prior to the first game, dressed out and ready to warm up. Meet at Home Base (Firebird Team Tents).
- Equipment bags should be lined up neatly, closed, with all equipment inside. Every. Single. Time. This helps players keep track of their equipment and discourages theft. I will assign 'Leslie Laps' when this rule is not being followed :)
- Coaches prefer you do not leave the field between games. Stay with the team near our home base.
- Make sure you are signed up for Remind so that you receive last-minute text notices such as field changes. Instructions are at the bottom of every newsletter.
- Players do not leave the field until sidelines and home base are completely cleaned up. This includes trash, player equipment, team equipment.
News For All Age Groups
- US Level 1 Coaches Training will take place 1/16 from 6-9pm at Tempe Sports Complex. Anyone can attend and learn! The cost is discounted from $50 to $25 this year. If you're interested in coaching, we need you and will pay for the registration fee! Talk to Leslie!
- The uniforms are running late so we have moved the Packing Party out to 1/16. This is a fun way to meet other parents. We will be separating and packing each player's uniform while enjoying a wine tasting by Wines For Humanity. The event will be posted on Facebook.
