MISSION STATEMENT
Our Mission is to make sure our club has a development structure which will teach, nurture our youth players to acquire the correct fundamentals, understand the games tactics and strategies and in preparation to attain a Soccer Scholarship and Professional Experiences. Our Objectives will be to teach and train soccer players the fundamentals of the game, develop leadership qualities and promote good sportsmanship among players, coaches, parents, and spectators. We will provide young players with the opportunity to participate in a soccer experience where they can develop positive self-esteem and build character by learning the virtues of hard work, respect, honesty, self-control, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
GUIDELINE OF STANDARDS
North Miami United Soccer Club (NMUSC) teams will consistently strive for excellence in training sessions, game situations and positively represent North Miami through on-field sportsmanship and as good role models off- field. Our Club focuses on significant player development toward the goal of playing at the highest level possible by focusing on the fundamental technical and tactical principles of the game of soccer. For all our players, we offer structured training and opportunities for competitive play, while maintaining a focus on creating a sound technical base for the individual. NMUSC is committed to the development of the individual within the program, both skill-wise and personally. The combination of talented, dedicated players; supportive parents; quality coaching / training; and strong management equals a successful program. NMUSC is dedicated to the development of soccer players to the highest level possible. Because of that goal, NMUSC must maintain standards that enable the Academy, Select/ Travel, coaches, and players to participate at what is considered the highest level of youth soccer.
Participating at the highest level of competition requires ability, commitment, and behavior that go far beyond that of a recreational focus. Therefore, to help establish and maintain that guideline of standards, this Player/Parent contract must be read, fully understood, and agreed by all NMUSC players and parents.
DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY
Use or possession of any alcohol, tobacco product, or any illegal substance, at any Club sponsored function, by any NMUSC player or parent, will result in immediate removal from NMUSC for the duration of the program.
PARENTS SUPPORT
Parents understand that once the game begins, their role is to support/encourage the players and the coaches. Parents are not to interfere or undermine, in any way, the play of the game. Parents must refrain from "sideline" coaching. Essentially, parents are to refrain from speaking to the players during training sessions. Parents who act in an unsportsmanlike manner, or fail to abide by these rules, risk having their child removed from the program by the coaching staff until the problem is corrected. Further action may be taken if necessary.
PLAYING TIME
Academy programs (up to 12 years old) will guarantee 50% playing time to all team's players during league games. For Travel players, it will be to the Discretion of the Head Coach (no guarantees). Player's playing time during tournaments is to the discretion of the Head Coach at all ages.
TRANSFER & RELEASE POLICY
The NMUSC policy on transfers and releases acknowledges that a player is bound to our league from the date that registrations are due to the end of the full year (from August 1st - May 31st). Once a competitive player has been rostered to a team, their obligation and loyalty is to that team. The transfer request may be given if agreed by all parties including the Commissioners and the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors reserves the right to refuse a transfer request if there is not a valid reason for leaving the club. A NMUSC player may be released from his/her team at any time and will be placed on inactive status by the FYSA. To return to active status during the same seasonal year, the player must go back to the North Miami United Soccer Club and re-register or initiate a transfer request. If the Board of Directors approves a transfer or release request, that player's financial obligation to the club must be satisfied before a transfer or release is approved. The player needs to pay in full the amount owed for the remainder of their year commitment to North Miami United Soccer Club plus an additional $500 release fee. Upon acknowledgement of payment, the Board of Directors will sign the transfer or release request
