This document is an introduction to competitive travel soccer and will give you an idea of what to expect during the PBG Predators soccer experience for the 2020-2021 season.

✅ PLAYER DEVELOPMENT Competitive soccer develops a player for future years by establishing fundamental skills and training habits at an early age. This requires patience with progress and understanding that the club may have multiple levels of teams within the same age group. This system enables the club to develop players with the skill and experience to compete at the highest level possible. Allowing the club to cultivate teams for the U12 and higher age-groups when each team requires 16+ rostered players.

✅ TRAINING DATES Start Date: August 3rd thru May 14th There will be a winter break (Dec 21-Jan 4) and a spring break (March 15-19) with no training.* Games are scheduled through the course of the program, but not every week. We intentionally build in rest weekends with no games, especially as we get to the close of the season. *State Cup teams will train during Spring Break - March 15-19, 2021 *Pre-Season Camp & Winter Camp included

✅ PROFESSIONAL COACHING STAFF All Predator teams have full-time trainers that work with the players for every training session and every game. We have no parent-coaches. This allows our trainers to fully manage all coaching aspects to the team without any personal conflict. Every trainer has professional soccer coaching credentials and licenses. Instruction and direction given by our Director of Coaching (DOC) are followed by all trainers.

✅ TRAVEL Travel is often played within Palm Beach County, except when competitive play requires that a team join a league spanning multiple counties. Tournaments are mostly outside of Palm Beach County. On average teams compete in 5 tournaments per year that is covered in your registration payment. All leagues & tournaments are decided by our coaching staff.

✅ ATTENDANCE POLICY Practices and competitive events (games, tournaments) are mandatory. While we all understand there can be extenuating circumstances causing a player to miss a rare practice or event, this is a competitive/travel sport and player absence reduces the quality of the experience, and development, for the entire team. Families unable or unwilling to ensure player attendance at all practices and events should consider lower levels of play.

Playing time is based on skill set and team need, which is determined solely by the coaching staff and the team's Coach. Paying club fees does not entitle a player to a specific quantity of playing time.

✅ PARENT BEHAVIOR Parents should not communicate with players during training sessions. Parents must avoid coaching from the sideline during games. Coaching staff are requested to address such issues promptly that can result is parent suspensions.

✅ REGISTRATION All registrations for PBG Predators activities will be online via Demosphere. Fundraising and Volunteer opportunities are available to help offset costs. Example: Honda Classic Concessions. Teams are welcomed and encouraged to explore additional fundraising avenues.

✅ SCHEDULE Every team has a completed periodization plan outlining each tournament and league the team will play for the year. You can request this from DOC or Head Coach.

✅ ADDITIONAL COSTS Nike Uniforms – Cost is $250 and includes home and away jerseys, shorts and socks, 2 pairs of game shorts and 2 Nike light blue training shirts. Player number will be given and located on reverse side of both game jerseys, both shorts as well as your training shirts.

PBG PREDATORS PLAYER PROFILE PBG PREDATORS PLAYER PROFILE The following information is to help players and parents understand the process regarding try-outs, assessment and selection for the Predators competitive soccer organization.

✅ TALENT & SOCCER INTELLIGENCE Talent with and without the ball. A player must possess individual skills and the potential and desire to improve. Talent is one factor that contributes to the success of an individual player and players must show hard work, energy and effort to gain placement in the Club. All players must possess intelligence for the game and an interest to listen and learn.

✅ ATTENDANCE, RESPONSIBILITY & COMMITMENT The player and family are committing to the long-term success of the player for the whole year. This commitment represents both player and parent with full-time attendance to all training sessions, games and travel. With this commitment, you will see a significant growth in the player’s ability.

✅ ATTITUDE & COACHABLE PLAYERS Players must be willing to work with our professional trainers within a team and an individual setting. This willingness will help the player improve and realize long-term success for the player and the team. A willingness to learn, adapt and grow in multiple roles on and off the field will allow for the player to achieve their soccer potential. Players must respect the club, the coach and fellow teammates in order to succeed.

✅ PARENTS ROLE & COMMITMENT Parents are an essential and important part of the success of the Predators soccer club. The parents are asked to not only ensure their sons/daughters meet the commitment, conduct and attendance standards set out above, but to also help foster a positive and supportive competitive environment. The Predator program is fortunate to have highly skilled and experienced professional trainers; therefore, it is requested that parents refrain from sideline coaching during practices or games, but of course, the program depends upon sideline encouragement for our Predator teams. A highlight of the Predators soccer club is the active involvement, participation and camaraderie of our parents and supporters. To that end, feedback on the Predators soccer club is always welcomed through our Soccer Board or competitive committee leaders.
