MIAMI
VALLEY SPORTS FOUNDATION TEAM GUIDELINES
TEAM OBJECTIVES
•
Field the most competitive team or teams possible at each age
level. The objective is not to win just to win, but to play as
long as possible (and hopefully be one of the final two teams).
This is how a player’s abilities are maximized: by playing more
games and playing the most competitive teams in game situations.
• Maximize the development of our
players by: (a) regularly scheduled practices during the off
season, using recognized drills used by College and Olympic
teams and (b) playing in highly competitive local, state, and
regional tournaments.
• Provide dedicated indoor
facilities for workouts during the winter months and outdoor
facilities for workouts during the spring and summer months.
• Provide a consistent high caliber
coaching staff with requirements for: centralized coordination
of practice drills, clinics, and tournaments scheduling for all
teams (to maximize support across all the teams and travel to
the same tournaments).

up by the Team Board. Subs may be added for individual
