This report is a PDF that contains the player name and their parents name, email, and phone numbers. Please note that that report is set up to have 1 player per page. Demosphere is working on a better way for this report to be available so it all fits on one page but for now, it is a way for you to access parent information if some are not responded via the mobile app.

Practices: We do not set practice times or fields for age groups. We encourage all teams to practice one time per week outside of your game times. The first two weeks of “scrimmages” May 9^th and 16^th can be used as training, scrimmages, or a combo of both. This gives you the chance to also partner with another coach on activities. Do not leave until the last player has been picked up and sure you have contact information for all parents. 

Fields: All fields are first come, first serve, however please respect other teams that may have games. 

Referees: Respect all referees! We will only have referees at U9-HS age groups. We target to schedule two referees per game but some games may only have one based on availability of refs. Refs will be paid prior to each game at the concession stand. Coaches do not pay referees directly in rec league ever. 

Weather: If games are cancelled due to weather we will alert all teams via the demosphere app, email, and post on social media. It is our goal to try and make a decision by 3pm about games. Game will be played in rain, but if lightning is spotted, games will immediately be suspended for 30 minutes. We will alert all teams if the delay is temporary or if games are cancelled for the night. 

Jerseys: Jerseys can be picked up by each team at Hopper's downtown Fond du Lac. After May 9th all jerseys not picked up can be picked up at the Soccer Complex concession stand. 

Coaches Shirts: All coaches get a free coaches shirt. Those can be picked up at the Fond du Lac Soccer Complex Concession Stand after May 16th. Sizes are not guaranteed and only as supplies last. 

First Aide: The concession stand will be open until 7:45pm each night and will have ice packs and small first aide supplies. If there is an injury more serious, have the parents involved immediately or call 911 if an ambulance is required. 

We’re teaming up this season with MOJO, a free app for coaches that helps you plan age-appropriate practices for your team at the tap of a button. This app is amazing and will save you a ton of time preparing, while making practices easy to manage and really fun for the kids.

Before your next practice, please do the following:

1. Download the MOJO Sports app using this link 
2. Add your Practice Schedule on the Practice tab
3. Receive your personalized practices for this season!

See how it all comes together in this quick demo video.

We are excited to bring you this app and think it will be a game changer for our coaches and families. 

MOJO keeps everything for free for the team and coaches by offering an additional, optional upgrade in the app to MOJO+, a subscription which gives users access to individual 1-on-1 activities that you can do at home with your kids. Coaches and parents do not need to subscribe to MOJO+ to enjoy using the practice plans, chat communication and scheduling features.
