We are big thinking risk takers. We do not insult each other or the program with little thinking.

We are LEADERS – NOT FOLLOWERS. We must disconnect from the “popular culture” and do what no one else does.

It’s not about us, it’s about the program. We can do infinitely more together than we can apart.

We are contributors, not consumers. The program does not exist for us— we are the program.

We give up things we love for things we love more.

We will laugh hard, loud, and often. Nothing is more fun than competing with people you love.

We will be known for what we are for, not what we are against. There is enough negativity in the world already.

We will always bring our best – EXCELLENCE inspires people.

We don’t compete merely to be better players, but better people. Better players change a game; better people can change the world.

The only constant is change. We must always strive to be better than the day before. Please be sure that all of your contact information has been updated in the sports participation packet that was completed online. I will send an email out during the 2nd week of school. If you do not receive the email please email me at [email protected].

I will keep in contact with you through email, Remind 101, Facebook and Twitter. Feel free to join any or all of these. 

I have read the general information and for the Lady Rough Rider Soccer Program and I agree to abide by these guidelines.
