• Steve Figurelli & our “Founding Families”

➢ The need for higher competition

• 2006-15 years of travel softball experience
• From no field to the Landing Complex
• Hundreds of softball players have worn

the Rebels uniform

Our focus is obviously softball, but also to develop our athletes into lifelong learners that can see the importance

• f having fun, commitment, teamwork and dedication.

• Higher level of competition
• Longer season(s)
• Higher performance expectations & focus
• n player development
• Preparation for playing at the “next” level
• The perfect example, “2006 10U & 12U

Rebels”

• Approach and Philosophy

− Stress fundamentals 8U – 14U − Practices high energy and fun − Focus is on helping players to develop

softball and social skills (building self-confidence; forming relationships and friendships; supporting self and one another)

• Selection: coaches are selected by the Board
• Training: hold training sessions for coaches to

ensure consistency in approach, philosophy and skill building techniques

• Requirements: Concussion and CPR Training (new

in 2020)

Expectations of Coaches

−

Will not discuss other players in our program with other parents or players.

−

Will communicate the following:

➢ Coaching approach and philosophy ➢ Expectations he/she has for the players on the team ➢ Locations and times of all practices and games ➢ Any concerns related to players’ demonstrated commitment, effort

and/or behaviors

➢ Individual feedback on your daughter’s strengths and opportunities for

improvement with ideas of how to continually develop

−

Will treat all players with respect and not use offensive or abusive language when addressing the players

−

Will always put the safety of the players first

7

Expectations of Parents

−

Be positive with your daughter. Let her know that it is a proud accomplishment simply to be part of an athletic team.

−

Try not to offer excuses if she is not playing. Encourage her to work hard and try her best. Help her set goals as a good way to show your interest and monitor progress.

−

Discourage putting down coaches or others which teaches your child to be a complainer, not a doer.

−

Do not instruct your daughter during play.

−

Be a positive role model – show respect for opposing players, coaches and spectators, and demonstrate good sportsmanship. You represent your family, team and community.

Parent Liaison

−

Objective and unbiased resource available for parents to express concerns.

−

Is NOT a substitute for healthy dialogue between players, coaches and parents; parents should always start with speaking with the coach first.

▪

Additional practice and time on the field

▪

Opportunities to play different positions

➢ Note: as players age up in Travel, field position rotation

becomes less frequent.

▪

If want to learn and develop as a new pitcher, can do so in a less competitive environment.

▪

Travel players can be seen as leaders/role models for less experienced Rec players.

▪

Play close to home (Roxbury, Randolph and sometimes Mt. Olive)
