Remember we deal with many characteristics in our players be aware of the mental, physical and emotional aspects of the player. Let them have fun help to engage with their friends, make it a positive environment to play in.

Mistake based learning is what we should be comfortable with, let them know it's OK to make a mistake let's be there to help them correct the problem and learn from it, then we can watch them grow and flourish knowing that one day we helped to create that exciting player no matter what level they are at.

SUSC strives to be inclusive and accessible for all. As coaches we are role models, for these players and parents remember that what you do or act is a reflection of you, make it a positive one, one that all players and parents can look up to and make everyone feel good that they are entrusting their children in the hands of a safe and competent person.
