Girls Night Recap

A huge THANK YOU to every player and parent who made our first ever Girl’s Night a wonderful success!

Destroy Negative Thoughts

Directors Anna and Bri led our girls in an activity where they wrote down a negative word or thought they have about themselves. Afterwards, they destroyed the negative words all together by shooting soccer balls and physically destroying the paper that the words were written on.

EMPOWERING NEW POSITIVE WORDS

Everyone created bracelets and added a new positive word that they believe represents them as players and young ladies. Examples include: brave, kind, strong, and worthy

TOGETHER AS ONE TEAM

Girl’s Night ended with a discussion about how we are all on the same team and from this point forward have each others backs. This was represented by a fun friendly amongst all the directors, coaches and players

SideLine Project

We are excited to partner with Tennessee Soccer Association and Soccer Parenting for a club-wide competition for parental completion of the 15-minute course called Supportive Sidelines! The Tennessee Soccer Association clubs with the highest percentages of parents completing the course will win prizes!

The competition runs from September 28th to October 30th.

We are asking all the parents at our club to participate.

To participate: Go to https://Leader.TheSidelineProject.com/Tennessee

Fill out the registration form and click on “Take the Course”

Once you have registered for the course, your first name and our Club name will be posted to the Pledge Wall found at the bottom of the page.

You will only receive credit for the course if you complete it

With your help, we will be able to significantly support our efforts to positively influence the game day environments for our players, referees, coaches and all spectators.

Together, we can be part of positive change in youth sport and a leader of change in the soccer community.

TSSA Sideline Policy

(created August 29, 2024)

The Tennessee State Soccer Association (TSSA) Sideline Policy has been constructed to create rules around sidelines during TSSA sanctioned games, tournaments, league games and friendlies. The rules are meant to create healthy boundaries for spectators during the game that prevent the possibility of negative interactions and possible arguments or fighting. Violations of the TSSA Sideline Policy could result in fines, sanctions, or suspensions for the club, coaches, and spectators.

The following are the rules pertaining to that policy:

1)The coach is ultimately responsible for the behavior of the players and spectators

When asked by a referee or tournament official to assist in creating a healthy and safe environment during the game the coach is responsible to do so. This assistance may be simply communicating with spectators to calm down or it may be to assist in the removal of a spectator. If unwilling to cooperate and assist, the official may abandon the sanctioned match of TSSA.

2)Spectators are required to sit directly across from their team on the same half of the soccer field.

The only exception would be instances where tournaments or complexes have the team and the players seated on the same touchline with one another. Spectators shall not sit behind the goals or goal lines to observe games.

3)While we understand that some parents/guardian’s like to follow their goalkeeper or striker when the team changes halves, we are asking them to please remain on their side of the field.

Too many instances have occurred when the parent/guardian have done this and the inability of one side to handle comments made while in proximity have resulted in fights. The purpose of the policy is to help prevent this.
