The following is a list of responsibilities that VYS coaches have to the players, parents, and the league.

• Coaches in VYS are expected to both teach and demonstrate to their players the highest standards of sportsmanship. They should not tolerate unsportsmanlike conduct on the part of any player.
• Attend and supervise all practices. There MUST be two adults at all practices. If a coach cannot attend a practice, they should arrange for a replacement, and ensure that there will be two adults at the practice.
• Remain at the field, practice and game, until all players have been picked up. If parents don’t show after 15 minutes, you may take the player home with you. If a coach takes a player home, immediately call the parents to inform them of such, and for your protection, notify the local police (Vienna or Fairfax), and let them know what the situation is.
• Establish a drink and snack schedule, or have your team parent do it.
• Hand out a team roster and a season schedule to each player (or parent).
• Advise the Division Commissioner of any players who quit the team before or during the season. Also advise the VYS Registrar, by Emailing at registrar@vys.org
