Playing Time
 Playing time is not a given; it is earned first by hard work,
positive attitude, and display of skills on the practice field.
Coaches will do their best to give each player playing time. The
coach will base playing time on what lineup/substitution
scenario best offers the team a chance to be successful.

 Lack of “Hustle” and/or “Heart”
