Transportation

Transportation is a big issue especially in the Northeast. YOU are responsible for your child's transportation for training and games. You can Car Pool with other parents if you have to. 


Coach is NOT responsible to provide rides to your children. Health and Safety issues are involved. Especially after COVID we do not want to flll up our vehicle with childern from MANY different familes and put my family members at risk. 


Coaches have an accident on the road with your child in his car. They can have appointments or committments before or after the game. It also cost money for gas and time to drive around. Please set an example and support your kid.
