PLAYER EXPECTATIONS
Valley Wilds Expectations for Competitive Hockey:
Valley Wild’s A, AA and AAA teams will have 2 on ice practices per week plus possible dryland training. Practices are not optional, and players are expected to participate. There will also typically be 2 games each week, a home and away game.
A, AA and AAA teams can expect that fundraising will likely be required to offset costs.
C teams will have at least 1 practice per week in addition there will also be 1-2 games per week.
Valley Wild Female Hockey Association understands that your child may be involved in other sports and extra curricular activities.
However, hockey is a team sport that requires everyone to participate in both games and practises. It is expected that all parents and players are committed to their respective hockey team.
We understand that situations will arise that could lead to missed practices and/or team events.
However, players who regularly miss practices or do so without communicating to coaching staff realistic reasons for doing so will miss out on development opportunities, and potentially have their playing time during games reduced at the discretion of coaching staff.
As the season progresses the schedules can change. There is the possibility that playoffs or provincials may conflict with other sports seasons or March Break activities. It is Valley Wild’s association wide expectation that playoffs or provincials will be made a priority for all players and coaches alike. Every effort is expected to be made by players and their families to avoid conflicts and so undermine potential team play. Valley Wild will communicate as early as is possible all dates for playoff and provincial windows of play.
If you and/or player are unable to commit to the above, please advise our registrar by email at registrar@valleywildhockey.ca so we can allow another player the opportunity to be on the competitive team.
REGISTRATION
