Steve Figurelli & our “Founding Families” • ➢ The need for higher competition 2006-15 years of travel softball experience • From no field to the Landing Complex • • Hundreds of softball players have worn the Rebels uniform Our focus is obviously softball, but also to develop our athletes into lifelong learners that can see the importance of having fun, commitment, teamwork and dedication.
• Higher level of competition • Longer season(s) • Higher performance expectations & focus on player development • Preparation for playing at the “next” level • The perfect example, “2006 10U & 12U Rebels” 5
• Approach and Philosophy − Stress fundamentals 8U – 14U − Practices high energy and fun − Focus is on helping players to develop softball and social skills (building self-confidence; forming relationships and friendships; supporting self and one another) • Selection: coaches are selected by the Board • Training: hold training sessions for coaches to ensure consistency in approach, philosophy and skill building techniques • Requirements: Concussion and CPR Training (new in 2020) 6
Expectations of Coaches Will not discuss other players in our program with other − parents or players. Will communicate the following: − ➢ Coaching approach and philosophy ➢ Expectations he/she has for the players on the team ➢ Locations and times of all practices and games ➢ Any concerns related to players’ demonstrated commitment, effort and/or behaviors ➢ Individual feedback on your daughter’s strengths and opportunities for improvement with ideas of how to continually develop Will treat all players with respect and not use offensive or − abusive language when addressing the players Will always put the safety of the players first − 7
Expectations of Parents Be positive with your daughter. Let her know that it is a proud − accomplishment simply to be part of an athletic team. Try not to offer excuses if she is not playing. Encourage her to work hard and − try her best. Help her set goals as a good way to show your interest and monitor progress. Discourage putting down coaches or others which teaches your child to be a − complainer, not a doer. Do not instruct your daughter during play. − Be a positive role model – show respect for opposing players, coaches and − spectators, and demonstrate good sportsmanship. You represent your family , team and community. Parent Liaison Objective and unbiased resource available for parents to express concerns. − Is NOT a substitute for healthy dialogue between players, coaches and − parents; parents should always start with speaking with the coach first. 8
