Trash Goes In Your Backpack

Nice to see this trash here and not on the field

Today we begin a mini-series on the truths of soccer - tips, rules and guidelines that apply to playing the game all over the world.

Over the years, our coaches have built up knowledge on not only the many technical aspects of soccer, but also on the logistics of consistent good days on the pitch. Keeping a clean field helps everybody - not only does a clean field demonstrate respect for yourself, those around you, and the game itself...   it just makes everybody feel better! Tidy is good.

One simple rule to help keep your field clean is that trash goes in your backpack. When you finish your bottle of water, pull that scrunchie off, peel that bandaid off your elbow, unwrap the electrician's tape from your shoes, or finish that granola bar, just tuck the waste into your backpack.

If the idea of a mini-dump in your backpack isn't so appealing, use the nearest trashcan.

Your team, your coach, and everyone else will thank you.

Easy.
