This year we are going to be awarding patches for outstanding achievements. These will be awarded at practices and games. Patches will be awarded for the following:

PRACTICE:

	Ranger: Attending all practices helps you and the team improve. This is to reward you for that. Earn one Ranger patch for every three practices you attend.
	Master Skills: Throughout the season Coach Dave will challenge you with skills (like juggling 3 times without letting the ball touch the ground.) If you can demonstrate a skill in front of a coach or parent, you earn a Master Skills Patch! *Skills must be demonstrated before or after practice, and you only get 2 attempts at a skill per practice.

GAME:

	King Cheetah: – The King Cheetah can be earned by making an exceptional offensive play during a game. An example would be getting an assist – making a pass to a teammate that directly leads to a goal.
	Big D: This patch can be earned by making an exceptional defensive play during a game. An example would be making a tackle or blocking a shot that directly prevents a goal.

PRACTICE OR GAME:

	Lightning Bolt: Energy, enthusiasm, persistence, hustle, and a positive attitude during practice or a game will earn you this patch.
	The General: A General shows great leadership skills on and off the field. He takes the initiative to lead or rally the team, and sets a good example by listening to the Coach and following directions at practice and during games.
	Braveheart: This player is very brave. If this player collides with an opponent or a teammate, he gets right back up and battles for the ball. This player never gives up.
