Recreation Program

Click link for 2011 game schedule: 2011-2012 Game Schedules OCT 19.2011 is available via this link. Our Rec Program is an instructional league designed to provide a safe, learning environment for our kids in a fun, healthy and nurturing atmosphere. For more information read Cat Chat. Even though our coaches have gone through a coach’s training course and are continually monitored by our professional staff and Board of Directors, they are still just parents like yourselves who have volunteered a tremendous amount of their personal time for your children. Please respect them, just as you would like them to respect you and your children.

First and foremost, we are all here to have fun.

Secondly, we are all here to learn about:
• soccer
• the value of good sportsmanship
• the importance of teamwork
and to improve our soccer skills.

Our Rec Program is an instructional program for our players, coaches and the referees. Every team makes the end-of-season playoffs. (For U-6 & U-8, we keep no scores or standings.) Remember, the kids are here just to have fun, so should the coaches and parents.

Our referees are barely older than our kids and are also just learning about soccer. Please respect their efforts. Remember, not every call will be made, and not every situation will be seen the same way by all involved. Parents should never converse with any referee about any game call, either during or after any game.

The Hollywood Wildcat Soccer Club is run by volunteer parents through our Board of Directors. Please show us the same respect you would like us to show you. If you’re not happy with how a situation is handled, don’t complain, get involved.

Player Participation Rules:

Every child must play at least ½ of every game, no exceptions except for health reasons or practice/game infractions. (Continually missing practice is a valid and acceptable reason for a coach to “bench” a player.)

No child may play goalie for more than half of any game. If a child plays goalie, they must play at least one other quarter out of the goalie position.

If you feel that any coach has not honored either of these two rules, please speak to your coach about it. If it is not resolved by the next game, then please bring this matter to the attention of a member of our Board who will always be present at the field.

Parent Participation Rules

Please be a positive influence on our participants. Please try to make only positive comments.

Parents and other spectators are only allowed on the opposite side of the field as the coaches and the team bench. Also, please stay at least 5’ behind the sideline (or behind the second sideline if there is one).

Parents are NEVER allowed onto the field until after the game is complete, even during time-outs, breaks, or injuries.

Parents are not to address any referee about any matter, either during or after any game.

If you have any issues, please address them with your coach in a private setting. If your coach can not or will not bring resolution, please find a Board Member and explain the situation to them.

After each game and/or practice, please clean up after yourselves. Also please refrain from smoking while in our park.

Coaches are not baby sitters. Please do not leave the area during practices unless the coach has said it is OK.

Please try to be timely to all games and practices and let your coach know in advance, if possible, if your child will not be at the next game.

Please help keep all children from hanging on the goal crossbars at any time.

BE POSITIVE, and
ENJOY WATCHING YOUR KIDS HAVE FUN!!!
