Trash & Litter Problem


It has been noted that players have been leaving used plastic water bottles and caps as well as food and candy wrappers on the ground at various field locations. Everyone is reminded that trash on the fields can cause injuries to players. Parents, coaches we need to clean up our problem. Also please bring trash bags to remove orange skins. Finally rocks and sticks that our less interested fans throw on field surfaces have also become a problem that risk injury to players. We are asking all spectators to pick up all debris and trash and remove it from our field locations to keep the kids safe. If you see something that does not belong please pick it up. Thanks in advance.​

Always Encourage The Kids

Remember that kids will be kids and always encourage and uplift them during the season!

Parent's Responsibility 

1. Provide transportation to and from all practices and games ensuring that the player is prompt (on time or early) not only in arriving but also in departure.

2. Lend the young players your support in a positive manner. Do not point out their mistakes, leave that up to the coach; instead, emphasize their accomplishments and efforts. Be positive. Never criticize.

3. If unable to attend the practices or games teach children not to talk with or leave practices or games with strangers.

4. Ensure child brings equipment to and from all soccer games and practices when appropriate.(Water Bottle with water, Ball, Shin guards and socks, Proper foot wear, Proper clothing based on the weather)

5. Be available to kick the ball around with your child!

6. Avoid material rewards. Build the attitude that the rewards lie in the fun of playing.

7. Be a good listener. Make them feel important and let them know that they are contributing to a team effort.

8. ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO BE A CHILD.
Thank you for having your child participate in GHYSA, we couldn't do it without you!
