Practices, Clinics and Player Expectations

Team practices are an important part of the learning process in soccer. In order to learn and master any skill, repetition, focus and
demonstration is necessary to help players learn new skills. Although practices during the week are not mandatory, it is important to set the
expectation for players that their soccer team in the priority activity for the spring and that they will make every effort to attend practices during
the week, usually one or two practices.

MCFC will also offer ongoing soccer clinics on game days for interested players at the game locations. The clinics will be offered twice a day on
selected Saturdays at 8am and 12pm, and will alternate locations between Carmel Middle School and Carmel Valley High School. The
preliminary soccer clinic schedule will be taught by a variety of our club's competitive team coaches and will focus on core disciplines in the game
of soccer. All players in the league are invited to attend. The preliminary schedule for these clinics is as follows:

Referees: Training and Resources

Youth and adults interested in participating with MCFC as a referee for the spring recreational soccer league will be rewarded with a fun
season and lots of learning. MCFC will be hosting its Grade 8 Referee Certification course in March. Completion of this course and
successfully passing the referee exam at the end of the 20 hour course will not only prepare you to be an excellent referee, but will also
qualify you to referee competitive games for the club. It will also raise the level and quality of the games each week.

MCFC will both train and pay referees (as well as provide community service hours for high school students) to attend the course and
referee games for the club. This is especially valuable for youth seeking to be around the game as well as earn some money of their own.

If you are interested in signing up for the course and becoming a certified referee for MCFC, please complete and submit the form below.
