The Madison 56ers Soccer Club is focused solely on
developing young players to the best of their abilities and preparing them to play
at the highest level of competition possible. In order to create the learning
environment necessary for this development, players and parents must abide by
particular requirements:
|
PLAYER EXPECTATIONS
|
- Players must realize that the 56ers program demands
a high degree of commitment and is dedicated to excellence. Our goal
is to provide training that is the highest level of elite and developmental training
anywhere in the country.
- In-season trainings are MANDATORY. Please
do not expect to play unless you attend each scheduled training with your team or
a substituted training with another team. Trainings during the fall and spring
seasons will be held 2-4 times per week. Winter trainings will be held 1-2 times
per week, and though they are not mandatory, are recommended in order to ensure
continuous development.
- Individual training is an integral part of the
development process, and players are expected to train outside of the team
environment. Behind every successful player is a genuine passion for the
game.
- Players must be prepared to learn, compete, and
work hard in every training. Players must bring the proper equipment - a ball,
shin guards, and water to every training.
- Players must always show respect for authority
figures-coaches, trainers, referees, administrators, and, above all, parents.
CHARACTER is as important to success as performance and ability.
|
COMPETITION AND PARENT EXPECTATIONS
|
- Matches are one of the many important components
of development, and provide the players with another environment to learn and improve.
The club will seek out the highest level of competition appropriate for each team to
ensure continuous individual development.
- Players are given specific objectives and
responsibilities every game, and as such, parents are implored not to coach
during the match from anywhere on the field. The bench area is for the team and
approved coaching staff only. Parents must stay away from the players' bench
area under all circumstances-no exceptions. Remember the game is for the kids.
Do not impose yourself on the game:
- Do not coach from the sidelines.
- Never argue or shout at referees.
- Remember that you are a representative of the
Madison 56ers soccer club. Every member of the club must conduct themselves
properly at all times. The club and the coaches will not tolerate embarrassments
or indiscretions at any games or tournaments.
|
|
COACHING AND ADMINISTRATION
|
- The club employs professional soccer coaches to
develop all of its players. All coaching assignments and player allocation
decisions are made exclusively by the coaching director, the coaching advisory
committee, and the coaching staff.
- Try-outs are held in June of every year and all
selections are made by the coaching staff. Players may be added during the year
at the discretion of the coaching director and the coaching advisory committee.
- It takes hundreds of hours of work to successfully
run a soccer club, and all families are expected to contribute 10 volunteer hours
per year to the club in addition to working the annual club tournament.
- Scholarship money may be available in cases of
financial hardship. Please see the Coaching Director for more details.
