	Stow Soccer Club will provide a Stow Soccer Club reversible jersey (maroon and gold/white in color) and maroon soccer sox for each participant, both of which should be worn at each session.
	Players will receive a game schedule to know which color of their reversible jersey to be worn for the day.
	All players should dress appropriately for the weather. In case of cooler weather, it is easier to take off the extra clothing as opposed to being chilled.
	The program is held even during rain showers, provided the temperature is relatively comfortable. The only time a session will be cancelled is during a lightning storm or at the discretion of the Program Director (i.e. snow on fields, etc.).
	Please arrive at least 10 minutes before each session so that we may be able to start on time.
	Please put your player’s name on his/her soccer ball in several places in Magic Marker so that a forgotten ball can be given back to the player. Please make sure your player has all clothing and equipment before leaving the park.

We recommend that each player spend at least 15 minutes 2-3 times a week practicing at home what we cover in the training session in order to become a better player.

WE NEED COACHES! We will train interested parents who will then assist the Program Director at the sessions; no background in the game is necessary. If interested, please indicate it on the player registration form.
