Metro Black Magic Soccer

Metro Black Magic Player Commitment Letter

As a Metro Black Magic player I understand that the difference between being ordinary and extraordinary requires extra effort. I understand that wanting to win on game day is worth nothing unless I have the will to prepare to win before game day. So that I might be the best player and team member that I am capable of becoming I promise to do the following:

These pledges are promises that you make to your team for the full soccer season. They are your word to your teammates and coaches. Keep this commitment letter on your wall or somewhere you can refer to it periodically.

  1. I promise to arrange my schedule so that I can get to practice regularly and on time, and to participate in games and tournaments.
  2. I promise to work hard at practice to improve my soccer skills and my understanding of the game.
  3. I promise that at practice I will give my coaches my full attention. When the coaches are talking I will stop talking, listen and keep my eyes on the coaches. I will not distract others during practice sessions.
  4. I promise to do whatever is asked of me on the field, without complaint for the good of the team.
  5. I promise to always encourage, and never criticize my teammates.
  6. I promise to always hustle and never quit, until the game is over.
  7. I promise to come to each game on time, well rested, ready to play my best for my team.
  8. I promise to display the highest standards for sportsmanship at practice and games, regardless of the outcome of either.
