Congratulations to all our Families that signed up.  It’s going to be another banner season!

The good news, for those on the bubble of playing or not, there’s no deposit required to place your name on the waitlist.  If a spot opens, we will contact you based on the order you signed up (1st on the list gets added first).

Action required- to add your name to the waitlist, go to our website www.desertsandsfnl.com  and click on the registration tab. When you try to register it will say “sold out” and ask if you want to put your name on the waitlist? Enter your information and you will be contacted if a spot opens.  No deposit will be required so do not hesitate to add you name to the waitlist.

 COACHING TIPS 

Remember the regular season is about Team development, “EVERYONE makes the PLAYOFFS”; so Keep it FUN!!

The impact you can make on this Community and this new generation can be life altering.   The Life lessons you teach will be much more enduring than your record.

Whether you like it or not you are role models.  Control your sidelines.  You set the tone for the Players, Parents, and ultimately the league; so win or lose, do it with Class. Demonstrate Good Sportsmanship, shake hands after every game, and genuinely thank the opponent for the opportunity to compete.

“New Spotlight Player award-  Coaches please be active nominating your players for Community, Academic or Athletic excellence!  Every week we will select an individual that best embodies the ideals we prize as a League. 

Lastly, Control you Sidelines Remind your Families: “Coaches Coach, Refs Ref, Players Play and Parents Cheer.  If we all stick to our roles we will have another Banner Season.

CHEER IS BACK
