There are four divisions. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. We are playing in the Army Division – Andover, Anoka, Cambridge-Isanti, Forest Lake, North Branch, and St. Francis

Playoffs – Division winners get a first round bye. All other teams will then play a one-game play-in game. The winners of that advance to the best two-out-of-three series. The winner of that then advances to the Final 8 District Tournament (double-elimination)

The winner of the District Tournament then advances to the VFW State Tournament. So in other words you have to be the best team out of 26 teams this year to make the VFW State Tournament.Slide11

Coaching Philosophy

Player/Parent Meeting – May 26

th

, 2015

To create a highly positive and highly motivating atmosphere that will

maximizing

player potential and learning abilities. To clearly define team roles and goals, as well as individual roles and goals. I want instill in my players a sense of accomplishment and a level of pride that comes from hard work and determination. Lastly, I would like to pass along my knowledge and love for this great game. Years from now I want my players to be able to look back and say, “I really love this game and I remember how Coach Saulsbury help instill that in me.”Slide12

ExpectationI have high expectations for myself, as well as my players. I will never ask you to do something you are not capable of doing. I expect everyone to give max effort in whatever role they have on any given day and to play the game the right way. There is zero tolerance for lack of effort or laziness. Hard work and determination is what you deserve, your teammates deserve, parents and fans deserve, and most importantly the game deserves.

Always remember, RESPECT THE GAME!

ExpectationFrom time to time a player may want to grow their role on the team. Players should always discuss this with me during the season. It is no longer the responsibility of Mom and Dad to have these conversations.

If you are going to be late or miss a practice/game, you must communicate that to me.If you have a job or a planned vacation that will cause you miss games/practices – email that to me ASAP.

ExpectationsSlide15

ExpectationYes, there are expectations for you as well. I expect parents and fans to be respectful to our opponents and umpires. Cheer, have fun, and be supportive of the team and your son. At no time, should the coaches have to manage the bleachers too. I exercise one rule – the 1-time get out of jail free rule. If someone becomes a problem or disruptive, they get one chance. If this happens again, that person is promptly going to be asked to leave. If it is a parent, that parent will be asked to leave as well as the player. There is zero tolerance with these items.

Expectations - ParentsSlide16

ExpectationIf a parent feels they need to discuss items going on with their son regarding playing time, how they are being treated, etc. I ask that we set up a meeting away from the field and team. I have no interest in having these meetings before or after a game or practice.

Expectations - ParentsSlide17

ExpectationI will communicate via a number of different ways. With players, it will be via a group text I will set up, as well as the Andover VFW Twitter account - @

andovervfw. With parent’s you will typically receive emails with pertinent information. I will distribute a contact list with everyone’s contact information.
