COMMITMENT
Perhaps the most important ingredient in the development recipe is commitment. Any player who desires to play at the highest level possible understands this. In fact, statistics show that in order to develop a top player, thousands of touches on a ball are required each week, 12 months of the year!! It is vital that the young player understands that commitment to any endeavour is a life skill worth learning early.

- Never ridicule or yell at your child for making a mistake or losing a game.
- Never coach your child or any other players from the sidelines.

desire to win.

- Never publicly question the honesty or decisions of the officials.

by refraining from their use at all youth sporting events.

of each game is accepted without undue disappointment.

regardless of race, sex, creed or ability.
