TEAM
POLICIES
Leadership: Special Sauce is led by a volunteer core of
individuals.
The following people have volunteered for the
2002-2003 season:
Coaches:
Beth &
Mary Captains : Tammy, Nancy & Marti
Treasurer- Marti
Practice
Coordinator - Janine & Laura
Communication - Melissa
Practice: Prepare yourself
to come to practice with intensity, focus,
open-mindedness, and a positive attitude.
Practice always
begins with two warm-up laps and a team stretch.
Be responsible
for running your two warm-up laps and stretching
before participating. Players are encouraged
to participate to
the best of their abilities during all phases
of practice.
Absences: If you are not going to be at practice, please let
someone
know so we can plan adequately or cancel practice if need be.
Tournament Expectations: Players are expected to arrive at
the playing
field one hour in advance of game time and be ready
45 minutes prior to
playing time to warm-up and drill. Players
who are late should take time
for stretching, running and
throwing to prevent injury to themselves and
to improve
their performance when they do take the field.
Pick-up
Players: Pick-up players are defined as players
who do not regularly
practice or play with Sauce.
Priority playing time will be
given to core
members of Special Sauce. Pick-up players will be
apprised
of team philosophies, policies and leadership structure by the
contact person or a member of the coaching
staff
before they play with Special Sauce. If 14 core members
of Special Sauce have committed to
a tournament, the team will vote
as to whether or not to pick up
players.
Communication: Notification of changes to practice times or
locations,
tournament information or other Special Sauce
functions will be given by the
posted or emailed as soon
as possible.
