BUS RULES (1) Any improper behavior on the buses will result in the loss of playing time. Using the buses is a privilege, not a right, and should be treated accordingly. (2) All Varsity team members will ride the bus to and from all away games unless previous written arrangement has been made with your coach and the athletic department. (3) All JV team members will ride the bus to all away games unless previous written arrangement has been made with your coach and the athletic department. Players may either take the bus home or they will be released to their parents. VARSITY LETTERS A Varsity Letter will be awarded to any player who successfully completes the season and has played in at least two varsity level regular season games. EQUIPMENT To help prevent injuries and increase performance all players must wear a soccer shoe designed for outdoor use. All players are required to have shinguards with an NOCSAE stamp that are appropriate for your height. Both of these pieces of equipment as well as running shoes and drinking water must be brought to all practices and contests. EQUIPMENT Beginning with the 2012 fall season, the front of the shinguard must be permanently marked with the NOCSAE seal and height standards for that guard as in the diagram. Shinguards with the NOCSAE seal on a tag only will not be permitted UNIFORMS In order to promote team identity, unity, and attendance at our matches all players will be required to wear either their jerseys or shirt and tie on match days. Failure to comply will result in loss of playing time and/or starting privileges. It is expected that all uniforms and warm-ups issued will be returned promptly at the conclusion of the season in the same condition as they were issued. Any loss of or damage to uniforms will result in a fine commensurate with the replacement or repair cost. UNIFORMS All players must purchase two pairs of socks for $20. Checks should be made out to Hartland Soccer and given to your team representative. If the purchase of socks or other equipment presents any problem, please see your coach or the athletic director. PRACTICES See the website for the updated schedule! Volunteers Needed! Each team needs an adult to run the clock and/or announce. The Athletic Office provides a script for the pre-game announcements. Couldn’t be easier! We will train you to run the clock from the best seat in the stadium!
