Supportive actions:
Actions to avoid:
It seems that there are far more actions to avoid, doesn’t it? It also seems strange that it’s so hard to simply cheer without ever getting frustrated or allowing your own competitive nature to get in the way of being supportive. Cheering and being a positive support to everyone typically lead to positive growth. Negativity and actions that we should avoid have far more serious implications.
Soccer should always be fun for both players and parents.
"I am excited to return to Waxhaw Athletic Association as Director of Youth Academy. My family and I are thankful for the opportunity to return to the Waxhaw community in hopes of making a positive contribution to the club. I look forward to sharing my experiences with these young players and their families as they continue to develop. Because of long standing friendships with the good folks of WAA, the decision was a relatively easy one in which to arrive. I have heard great things about the players coming through and the coaching staff in place. I'm anxious to get on the field and get to work." - Coach Imler
"I am happy to be joining Waxhaw Soccer Club. It is a great opportunity to work with youth players and be part of a wonderful community on and off the field. The idea of overseeing the development of the U11 & U12 Age Groups and Coach within those age groups was very exciting to me. I enjoy these ages and this stage of development so hopefully I can bring my experiences and some enjoyment to the players as they grow and learn. I look forward to meeting all the Players & Families. Ready to build-on what has already been achieved and improve together."- Coach Andrus
