Announcement
It is the policy of the Salt Lake Scorpions Club that players attend every practice, game tournament and team activity to for the duration unless the coaches have stipulated that it is optional. This equates to about 3 hours of practice and 2-4 hours of game time per week during the on season (6 months, Aug-Oct., March-May). Off season is 1-2 hours of practice, 1 hour of games (4 months Nov-Feb, June-July). Break, with no soccer commitment (2-4 months Nov or Dec, June or July).
It is the player’s responsibility to plan and organize their schedule to meet this commitment. This might mean certain sacrifices must be made. Missing your soccer commitment is not acceptable.
A good competitive team, high school, as well as college teams expect this level of commitment; it has been done by players while at the same time maintaining grades, a well rounded life style and meeting family, religious and other extra curricular activities.
It is to your advantage to meet the expectations and standards of the team and club. The coaching staff puts a lot of time and energy into these teams. It hoped this is understood and that the passion, desire and commitment is developed and as you will see, it will pay off.
Sincerely,
SLS Coaching Staff
