MHYSA

Practices usually start a couple weeks before the games start. A coach should contact you after the coaching meeting has taken place which is usually about a month before the first game of the season.

The number of times your child will practice is determined by the coach. As a guideline the younger divisions (U8 and younger) usually will only practice once per week whereas the older divisions (U10 and above) may practice twice a week.

Your child's coach sets the day(s) of the week, times and where they would like to practice.

• Shin guards (a must) - Your child must have shin guards. If your child does not have shin guards then they will have to sit out of practice until they have them on.
• Cleats
• Appropriate size ball (refer to the Basic Rules sheet for the correct size ball for your child to use)
• Water/Sports drink (try to have your child drink water 15 minutes before the start of practice)
• NO JEWELRY can be worn (watches, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.)
