Game Preparation Checklist

 Before The Season

Review practice schedule at www.tenaflyunitedsoccerclub.com
 Review game schedule at www.ncsanj.com
Communicate the above with your team parents.
 Schedule TBS games with your opponents by end of second week of the season.
 Verify game balls are correct size and are inflated properly.
Verify supply of ice packs and medical kits.
 Confirm complete contact information for all players/coaches – emails, cell phones – weekday and day-of-game.
Review rules of game time behavior with parents.
Confirm all players have complete uniforms – orange and white jerseys, black soccer, shorts, black socks, shin guards, cleats. Long sleeve black shirts for colder weather.
(Note: Actually, although we do wear the black long sleeves, the rules are that the long sleeve “UnderArmor” has to match the color of the jersey, and thus should be orange long sleeves with  orange jerseys and white long sleeves with white jerseys.)
