IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FOR PARENTS & GUARDIANS
ALL PRACTICES FOR ALL TEAMS ARE MANDATORY. ALL BHS SOCCER PLAYERS ARE EXPECTED TO HAVE 100% PRACTICE ATTENDANCE RECORDS.
Examples of consequences of missing practices, team meetings , events and games:
• Extra running and conditioning
• Suspension from game participation
• Movement to a lower level team
All student-athletes are responsible for knowing the practice and game schedule. There are envitable last minute changes during the season. "I DIDN'T KNOW" is not an acceptable excuse.
Injured players are expected to attend practices and games and act as assistants to the coaches and program as needed.
Exams and homework Student-athletes must schedule their study and homework times around practice and game schedules. Players are not excused from participation to study for exams and do homework unless they are on academic probation. Student-athletes must maintain the required academic standards to participate in high school sports.
Two A Day Practices
Two a days push the players physically and mentally out of their comfort zones. It is important that the players are well fed, hydrated and rested during these training days. Each players must bring soccer shoes, running shoes, shin guards, and a water bottle to every training session. Two a day practices may be added as needed during the season.
Regular Practices
Players must bring soccer shoes, running shoes, appropriate training attire and shin guards to all practices. BHS soccer training attire is required for practice when distributed to the players.
As with all high school student-athletes, BHS soccer players will need to manage their time appropriately. We will train on holidays including Labor Day. Players who miss practice during holidays may face discipline action. There will never be any BHS soccer on Sundays.
Communication with coaches
The soccer coaches enthusiastically supports the philosophy of positive relationship building. Healthy and appropriate communication with coaches is key to a successful and positive experience for each student-athlete.
All the coaches encourage the student-athletes to communicate directly with the coaches regarding schedule and soccer related issues. Learning to effectively communicate directly with their coaches is one of the more important "life lesson" a student-athlete can learn from participation in high school sports.
Parents are encourage to talk to coaches directly regarding academic, health, safety and social concerns. Parents are also encouraged to discuss with the coaches how they can support the soccer program and athletics at BHS.
Parents should encourage their son to speak directly to the coaches in regards to soccer specific issues such as playing time, positioning, roles on the team, development, tactics, practices and games.
Athletic Trainer
BHS provides a certified trainer.
Team Gear Packages:
Each player will be required to purchase a BHS Team Gear Package (i.e. training shirts, game socks, etc.). An order form will be handed out during the first week.
