What equipment does my child need?
A game jersey and socks will be provided to each player. Once uniforms arrive, the jersey color for home and away will be determined. Players will wear the home/away side of the jersey according to the game schedule. Players will need to provide their own cleats (with no metal) and shin guards.
Who will be coaching my child?
Our coaches are volunteers eager to spend time with your children! Each coach has a current background check on file with the church. Coaches are provided with Upward Sports material to assist them with planning lessons, drills, and running a successful team. Alicia Robinson, New Hope's Children's Ministry Assistant, is our league director and can be reached at alicia@newhopecc.net. 
Additional details!
Weather delays or cancellations will be communicated through 1) a text from the league to all players' families, 2) players will receive an individual message from their coach, 3) and New Hope will send an email. There are portable restrooms and hand washing stations at the fields. Families are encouraged to bring a chair to watch practices and games. And feel free to bring snacks to enjoy!
