Adam & Mauricio’s update: 

Welcome back! Excited to be back together as a team. This may be the last year. U11 increases roster size to 15, so there may be the experience of cuts. 

Goals 

Development - equal playing time - difficult with 13 players, but will work to keep shift lengths down 

Positions - right at onset - allows girls to settle in; grow in comfort in game; build confidence with ball and familiarity with role, game understanding, and role

Not opposed to trying new positions; these are our preferences for the girls

Win - push girls and drive up competition level

Expectations - Attitude & Effort; listen and a positive attitude

3 step approach to correct behaviour: 

1. Ask girls to stop
   2. 1:1 chat on the side
   3. Sit out

Games - 30 min early to dress, warm up/game plan review

Practice - on-time

Late - send text or RAMP message

Parent Intervention - No parent direction or re-direction during games. 

Potential Tournaments - 

Phoenix Cup - May 16 - 20 - $425 per team
Greater Grand Forks Soccer Tournament - June 28 - 30 - cost TBD
Tri-City Tournament, Fargo - June 21 - 23 - cost TBD
