Player Expectations

 

The coach under the guidance of the Director of Coaching selects the players.  The coach’s commitment to the player and the player’s commitment to the team and Sparta United Soccer Club are for the entire competitive season (June 2011-May 2012).  It is important that players observe the guidelines established by the team, Sparta United Soccer Club, leagues and UYSA.

  Learn and obey the Laws of the Game

  Practice soccer skills and condition on my own
