Practice Equipment Rules:

We will hand out equipment to be announced. If possible, we would ask 5/6 players to come on ______ and 3/4 players to come on ______. However, if you can only come the other night that is fine. Please have your son wear small shorts and to have them TRY on all of their equipment before leaving. Please let us know if you are out of town and unable to make it next week. Depending on the number of players who can't make it we may have another handout or may just get your child their equipment on their first day of practice.
Equipment handout will be from 6:00-8:00PM at Tommy Levengood's house. The address is 946 Esplanade Pelham.

For the first five practices, players should come in: helmet, t-shirt, shorts, cleats, protective cup, mouth guard, and water.
The teams will practice in full equipment on the 6th scheduled practice. Players are NOT allowed to practice in full equipment until they have attended 5 practices.
Full equipment includes: Shoulder pads, rib guard, pants, practice jersey, helmet, Guardian Cap helmet cover, protective cup, cleats, mouth guard, and water.
Players must bring their own water bottles to every practice!

Practice Location:

Practices are held at GLOVER PRACTICE TURF.
You can park in the lot next the Glover locker rooms or next to Target parking lot (walk over the footbridge and go to the right).
We practice in the outfields of both the Glover A and Varsity (aka Joe Solimine Sr) Baseball Fields.

You will need to provide your child with a mouth guard, protective cup, cleats, and water, to every practice and game.
You should boil and fit the mouthpiece the night before practice, do NOT wait until you are ready to walk out the door to take your child to their first practice.
Help your child learn how to put on and take off all of the equipment, particularly the helmet.
Parents are not allowed on the sidelines during practices/scrimmages/games. It is for the safety of our players, parents, family, and friends. Only safe viewing areas are acceptable.
Under no circumstances, is the use of profanity ever acceptable. The use of profanity and/or aggressive behavior around the children will result in being removed from the event.
In case of practice cancelation due to wet field conditions, you will be sent an email. As always, you will be able to call the rec Pelham Rec hotline at 914-738-6644.
Playing time varies from player to player. Every child will see action during the game as deemed appropriately by the coaching staff and with player safety in mind.
