Chaperone Description:  Each team must have a chaperone for every practice during the season.  The chaperone’s role is to ensure that the trainer can focus exclusively on coaching the kids by helping with any injuries or behavior issues (there rarely are any).  In addition, the other EXTREMELY IMPORTANT task of the chaperone is to wait on the practice field until every child is picked up.

I cannot emphasize how important this task is.   The trainers will begin conducting the next practice sessions or leave the field once the U8 sessions are over.   If you are the chaperone, you are responsible to make sure no one on your team is left unsupervised.   Summit Soccer Club will not look favorably upon those who fail to live up to this responsibility by either not showing up or leaving the field before every child is picked up.

It is critically important that if you are the chaperone, you show up and, just as important, make sure that every child is picked up after practice.  

If you need to switch chaperone dates with someone, please communicate directly with your team.   You should be able to view your roster the same way you did last Fall.   I will be emailing the new families instructions and a password shortly.  

If you are the chaperone please check-in with the trainer once you get to the field so he/she knows you are there and can reach out to you in case something comes up.  Please do not just take a seat nearby without talking to the trainer.  

One important tip:  if it is your assigned day to chaperone, you should print out and bring with you the contact info for each player so you have everyone’s phone number in case a parent is late to pick up their child.
