We strive to make the MIFC experience something integral to our sense of community and personal development, and wish that this extends to our kids as they play soccer and represent the real subject of all our efforts.
Here are some tips to make your child's soccer experience successful: |
|
Game Day Experience
- Make sure your player has all their equipment for the game
- Plan ahead and arrive on time
- Enjoy watching the game and cheer for all players on the field
- Don't coach from the sidelines
Comments to Referees, Players and Opponent Players/Parents
Allow the coaches to do the coaching, the referees do the referring and don’t get into a verbal argument with players, parents or refs. It never ends well and think about how your player, team and club feels about your behavior.
Different problems can arise when parents blame coaches, other players, or referees if their child doesn't play well or if the team doesn't win. Players who watch their parents shift the blame to others have a hard time being accountable for their own actions later in life.
Remember to enjoy the games, be proud and support your player, open the door and allow them to walk through it. When you need to reset, ask yourself: WHY did I sign my player up to play sport?
