Read the First-Season Guide

Before the game

Check arrival time, field location, uniform needs, hydration, and the league's weather process.

On the sideline

Encourage effort and teamwork while leaving instructions, substitutions, and officiating conversations to the coaches and officials.

After the whistle

Ask what your athlete learned or enjoyed, reinforce sportsmanship, and use the league's designated channel for questions.
