While the LYSSI was created to offer opportunity for motivated children to enhance their athletic development, many kids also receive guidance from the fine youth coaches in our area (In fact, some of us are those coaches!). If you and your child have an interest in joining one of the youth sporting leagues in our region, we suggest the following as reasonable expectations.

COMMUNICATION YOU SHOULD EXPECT FROM YOUR CHILD’S COACH

1. The philosophy of the coach regarding the purpose of sport in your child’s development.
2. The expectations the coach has for your child within the context of the team.
3. The locations and times of all practices and contests.
4. The team requirements, i.e., fees, special equipment, off-seasoning conditioning.
5. The procedure should your child be injured during participation.

APPROPRIATE CONCERNS TO DISCUSS WITH COACHES

1. The treatment of your child, mentally and physically.
2. Ways to help you child improve.
3. Concerns about your child’s behavior.
