Conduct 
Youth sports is the time to model correct and appropriate behavior for our children. Always keep in mind that this is a GAME and that these are CHILDREN playing. There will be mistakes made by players, coaches and referees alike. Cheer your child on, but step back from the sideline and please let your coach do the coaching. While most coaches welcome any comments from the parents about how to make the season more productive and fun, please remember that the coaches are all parent volunteers who are working hard to spend time teaching your child. If you should have any concerns about your child’s coach, please contact [email protected]

Please read and understand our clubs code of contact.  If you have any questions please email [email protected] 

Above all, please remember that the Intramural Soccer Program is first and foremost about our children having FUN. The goal is for our youth to learn to play soccer, get along with and play as a team, and be competitive and show good sportsmanship while having FUN. We look forward to another great season!

Practices 
Your coach will expect your child to be prepared to practice,  Practices times and days are setup by your coach at the start of the season.  We do ask coaches to work with the parents on the team to find a time and location that works best for all.  Also we ask coaches to hold 2-3 practices in late August before the start of the season. 

Please be sure that your child has on cleats (double knotted) and shin guards (worn under socks at all times). Please bring the correct size soccer ball (TOT's and Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade - size 3,  3rd to 6th Grade - size 4, 7th and Up - size 5) and a full water bottle. All items should be labeled with your child’s name and phone number. Long hair should be tied back and no jewelry (including necklaces, earrings, watches or hair clips) should be worn. Please have your child visit the restroom before practice.

The majority of Clarkstown Soccer programs are not dropoff programs; for Fall and Spring intramural season programs with children Grade 6 and younger, a parent or designated adult (e.g. another parent on the team, a babysitter, etc.) must be present for all practices and games. Practices and games at these ages are typically 60 minutes or less in length.

For older age groups, parents are expected to pick-up their child to and from all soccer activities (practices, games, etc.) punctually if they are not waiting during those activities.

Games 
All players should plan to arrive to the fields at least fifteen minutes before their game begins unless otherwise instructed by your coach. Again, please come ready to play. Your child should wear his/her team jersey, shin guards under socks and cleats!!

Parking is available at Zukor Park and Kennedy Dells Park.   Please drive slowly as the lots get full with hundreds of kids.

If you will miss (or be late to) a practice or a game…
Be sure to notify your coach as far in advance as possible. Soccer is a team sport and while a perfect attendance record may be nearly impossible, please try to be fair to the rest of your child’s team when planning vacations and other events.
