COACH CONTACT
Your coach will contact you once teams are in place and they have reserved a practice time. Please note your coach's information for your records. If you have not heard from your coach by March 22, please contact the YMCA at 417-846-1535.
AT GAME TIME
Please arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled game time. This will allow plenty of time for parking and locating the correct field and give players time to warm up before each game. When game time arrives, the referee will call both teams together for a pledge and prayer. After the game, the teams will shake hands and then go to their coach for a talk and snack.
PARENT EXPECTATIONS
Our goal is to encourage healthy spirit, mind and body for all...especially for your child. Behavior that is unsportsmanlike, unruly or interferes with the progress of the game never helps any child. Please help us be strong role models for all children. This sport is designed for them to develop and grow.
WEATHER & MAKE-UP GAMES
In the case of inclement weather the YMCA will post a cancellation message with REMIND and on Facebook. You may also call the YMCA at 417-846-1535 to find out if your game is cancelled or delayed. The post will be sent at least one hour before the start of the first games. If there is not a current message, games are still running as scheduled.
Weather cancellations, on the YMCA's part, will include one guaranteed make-up game. Information about the make-up day will be delivered to team coaches.
HEALTHY SNACK OPTIONS
The Y does not require teams to provide snacks, but if your team does provide snacks, we encourage you to bring healthy choices! If your child has any allergies, please let your coaches know. Below are some ideas for healthy snacks:
TEAM PHOTOS
Picture Day is April 22. Your coach will receive information about team pictures with Chuck Nickle Photography. If you would like to purchase photos of your child/team, please fill out the envelope you will recieve from your coach. If you have any questions you can contact Chuck Nickle by phone at 417-846-3856.
