Parent & Player Handbook 2018 - 2019 Welcome! I am extremely excited for my second year with the program. Last year was a great season on the field for all levels and I learned a lot about how to help run the program from an admin standpoint. While there hasn’t been a lot of communication coming from me or the board over the summer, we have been working diligently to make improvements in terms of fundraising and overall streamlining things for the staff, players, and families. Our goal for this year is to streamline and simplify without sacrificing the quality of experience for the players and families and while maintaining equity and simplicity of payments and costs. Another priority for us was to be able to come to the parents and players at the beginning of the year and provide a clear and accurate financial and opportunity roadmap for the entire offseason and season so that families can prepare, plan, and make choices that best work for them. Again, I have been working a lot with the board on these items and we are all really excited about the improvements. – Coach Sulzbacher Coaches Henry is entering his second year as head coach.
