Parent Expectations

1. Be a positive role model for your son(s) and for other parents.  Not only do the coaches and players get
   evaluated, but so do the fans!  We don't want to have fans asked by the officials to leave the field of play because
   of their poor behavior.
2. Let the coaches do their job.  Of course you want the best for your son(s).  The fact is that we evaluate talent everyday and try to put what we feel is the best group on the field at one time.  If we are spending time dealing with parents, we aren't be dealing with the players.
3. Encourage your son(s) to talk with the coaches if they have questions about playing time or other soccer-related questions.  We know that these things are important to the growth of our players, this is a crucial time for them to begin/continue to fight their own battles.
4. If you want to be involved in the program as more than a spectator, please ask how you can help.  We can always use an extra hand during clinic registrations, videotaping of games, lining up meals for road trips, organizing pre-game meals, and I'm sure there are other things that just aren't coming to mind right now.  Also, the LM Booster Club is now expecting each team/organization to lend a hand over the course of the year during various events.
5. Naturally, we don't see or know about everything that is going on with our players, especially outside of team events.  Please know that Coach Brinkmeyer can use your help by you just being an extra set of eyes and ears.  If you think players are doing things that Coach Brinkmeyer would frown upon, a quick email or phone call IS appropriate, however, as explained above this doesn't apply to what your THINK is happening or should/shouldn't be going on.
