This document outlines expectations and requirements for the mens soccer team. It discusses maintaining good grades, following codes of conduct, appropriate online behavior, required forms, practice gear, communication methods, and the upcoming practice and game schedule. Players are expected to attend all classes, maintain at least a C average, and any lower grades could result in missed games or ineligibility. The code of conduct has a two-strike policy for issues resulting in reduced playing time. Online posts must not reflect poorly on teammates or the program. Practices will begin March 11 after spring break with morning conditioning and afternoon skills sessions. The first games are scheduled for late March through early April.
