Team Rules

When I first began coaching I used a set of team rules my own coaches had used for teams I played on.  It was a rather lengthy list, at least by my present standards.  Lessons learned over the years taught me fewer hard and fast rules are better for there are always exceptions. Trying to legislate everything only produces drama and more work for the coaching staff.  Our US government could benefit from learning a similar lesson, but I digress.

Our players will quickly tell you I have 3 rules. They don't always get the first two right, but they know the third one by heart.
