Game Preparation Information

Arrival Time:

Please arrive 45 minutes before game time. Please make sure to allow for traffic delays at away games.
Uniforms:
ALWAYS bring both uniforms. Also remember to bring shin pads.
Water:
Please bring water for your child to each game and practice. A separate snack schedule will be distributed later.
Inclement Weather:
Unless you are notified otherwise, assume all games will be played as scheduled. In cases of inclement weather for home games, please call 703 228-4715. If a game is cancelled for any reason, you will be called as soon as we are notified.
Conduct: 
Sidelines: Both teams will sit on the same sideline. The home coach will be responsible for choosing which side. The spectators will sit on the opposite side of the field in an area marked between the center of the field and 18 yards from the end line, and 3 yard away from the field. Please sit across the field from where our team sits.
Behavior: You have all read and signed the code of conduct, so no need to repeat it here. The coach is ultimately responsible for the behavior of the players, parents and spectators. We have a designated Team Sportsmanship Liaison (TSL) who will take responsibility for overseeing the behavior of the spectators. He/She will have a special badge indicate their role. The key is to be positive and respectful and don’t make any comments about the referee’s performance.
Misbehavior: Referees have been instructed to take immediate action for violations of sportsmanship, such as the use of foul or abusive language or any attempt to intentionally injure a member of another team.  This includes actions by the spectators.
Noisemakers: All noise makers, such as horns, clappers, megaphones, are banned. Please don’t bring them.
When you are cheering for our team during a game, you are not supposed to use a child’s name. This is an ATSC policy. Calling a child’s name can be distracting to the players and may interfere with what the coach is conveying. Please cheer for the team as a whole.
