Training Tomorrows Players Today

The North United Classic Soccer (NUCS) would like to welcome you and your player to your program. Please read carefully this commitment letter and ask any questions that you may have prior to signing.

Let it be understood that your player is being made an offer to participate on the NUCS Boys / Girls __________ team for the season starting  9/1/20___ – 8/31/20___. . I

Let it also be understood that by a deposit will be required to hold your spot on the team and that all fees must be paid on time to be in good standing with the Club.  Team fees and deposit requirements can be found in our Financial Agreements Pages on the web site. 

What to expect from NUCS:

‰ A positive learning environment: It is expected that all coaches’ parents and players will maintain a positive attitude at all times.  Negative attitudes and behavior will not be tolerated by anyone associated with the program.  After one formal warning the violator will be removed from the program.  Team and Club chemistry is too important to allow any internal problems.  Our clubs reputation is critical to our mission and we will not allow anyone to tarnish it. 

‰ Fair play:  Players will earn their playing time by attendance and work effort.   Playing time is at the coaches’ discretion.   

‰ Reasonable fees: Each year the board sits down to establish a fee schedule that will provide our coaching staff a fair reward for their time and efforts as well as provide field space for training both indoor and out and all other Club related expenses. 

 

What NUCS expects from the parents:

‰ Be on time: Until your player is old enough to drive we expect you to have them at all activities on time.  That means that if practice starts at 6 PM they are on the field warming up at 6 not pulling in driveway and still need to put on their shoes. 

‰ Be active: on your team and in the club.  We will hold at least one general meeting a season.  At that time we will ask that you participate in some way for the good of the program. 

‰ Be supportive: Winning and losing all part of the game.  Be supportive of your player other team members and your coaches.  Direct all problems to a board member.  A list is on the web site.

‰ Pay your dues on time: Our team administrators do not like to chase folks for money.  You will be given a fee schedule and an address to send it to.  If you should have a financial hardship you need to call the Club president before the payment is due.  Every effort will be made to assist anyone with financial difficulties. However, we do have a no pay no play policy.  The team budget is based on the full roster paying on time. A $50.00 late fee can be added 10 days after any payment is due.

‰ Commitment to the team: It is expected that your player will attend all practices, games, and events sponsored by the program.  Very few excuses are expectable for missing.  If you miss more that 10 % of a season activity for unexcused reasons then they can be suspended from play.

‰ Recruit: to the program all players that you think are of the caliber ready for classic soccer.  Current parents and players are our best sources of new players.  If you like what we are doing tell others if not tell us.

What NUCS expects from players:

‰ Be receptive to learning: new skills and methods of play.  Realize that you are part of a team.  Be respectful of other players’ coaches and parents.

‰ Maintain good grades: Any player not meeting at least the minimum academic standards to play on their school team will be ineligible to participate in any team activity.  Parents will make the decision as to when you can or can not participate.

‰ Maintain a positive attitude and behavior: Good discipline is important to success in all activities in life.  It is expected that you will maintain good discipline both on and off the field.  Any problems related to poor attitude or behavior will be subject to suspension from the program until a board review can be held.  Any use of tobacco, alcohol, drugs or other illegal substances will result in a dismissal from the program.  No exceptions.  Fighting of any kind either on or off the field will not be tolerated. A minimum of a two game suspension will be imposed for any violent acts. 

‰ Practice: If you expect to be a great player on a great team you must practice every chance you get. If all you do is practice at team practice then you will not develop enough to stay on the team.  You should try to work with your ball every day.  Juggling, dribbling, trapping, and fakes.
