Parents are welcome to watch practice; however, must remain at least 50 feet away from the practice area at all times. While observing practice can be helpful for parents to understand their player's role, skills, schemes, and techniques, it is very important that parents allow coaches and players to focus without parental interference during practice time. This allows coaches to effectively teach and our athletes to fully engage in learning. Time before or after practice can be scheduled to discuss any specific concerns you may have.
Parents may walk the track but refrain from disrupting or disturbing the practice.
Only certified coaches with SYF badges are allowed on the fields.
Are practices mandatory?
Yes. Football is a team sport and practices are important for players to learn to work as a team on schemes and plans. Coaches build on specific skills weekly. It is important to have all players at practices. In the event that a situation arises where you will not be able to attend practice, please contact your team rep or head coach as soon as possible.
