Team Rules

Please help us in reinforcing our team rules! Buy in is crucial to our success as a team!

Players are expected to wear proper shoes at school. If shoes are needed please reach out to Coach Thompson. Wearing slides, crocs or sandals will result in punishment and parents will be notified. 

Why Shoes? First impressions are everything. College coaches come to campus everyday at different times of the day. Coach Thompson tells the kids, "You only get 1 shot at a first impression." 

Second, school is a learning environment. We want our kids to separate themselves from the rest of the student body. Wearing shoes and proper dress is one way for our kids to stand out positively.

Third, as a student athlete protecting your feet and having proper foot support is crucial. Talk to any podiatrist and they recommend shoes.

Team issued Pride Pack is required at team workouts. This is for 6th/7th period classes and anything after school. The purpose is to emphasize team over individual. Every player was issued 2 shirts and 2 shorts. We do laundry every day so the kids do not have to take anything home. The reason we went to this 2 years ago is because after Coach Thompson spoke with numerous college coaches and asked them what is one thing they see incoming freshman struggle with the most, the majority responded with structure/discipline and following team rules.

Every college requires kids to wear the same thing down to their socks. Most freshman struggle with this and it prevents them from getting on the field or getting an opportunity. We made the shift 2 seasons ago and you see the results that we had both on Varsity and Sub-Varsity. If your student has lost their shirt or shorts they can purchase additional at cost. ($20 for each, this is what we pay BSN).
