What the badge
asks of us

The program philosophy, the expectations every player agrees to, and what the crest stands for.

Program Philosophy

Decisions made in the program are made with the best interests of the student-athletes in mind. However, it must be noted that the coaching staff must consider the interests of ALL the athletes in the program.

The soccer program exists to support the academic program of CPHS.

Academics are a top priority. However, that does not mean that it is permissible to miss a soccer event to do academic work. Time management is but one valuable skill that athletic participation can teach. Athletes should attend tutorials as needed to keep up with their academic responsibilities.

Safety of the athletes is always the first priority.

Coach's Expectations

All meetings with parents will be with parents, players, and two Cedar Park High School coaches.
All players must wear the Cedar Park Girls Soccer practice uniform every day at practice.
All players must sign and obey the Cedar Park Girls Soccer Handbook at all times.
Letterman jackets can be purchased during the year by families whose athletes have played half a season on Varsity, but will not be worn on the sideline at games, during warm ups, or prior to a game.
Any bullying concerns will be sent directly to the office and administration will go through the protocols.
Coaches make decisions best for the team and program.
All players will practice unless they have seen the trainer and the trainer tells the coaches they are too injured to practice. If injured in club, at home, or at school, players must see trainers before school. Otherwise they are expected to practice.
If players play club and have multiple games in one weekend, they must communicate to their coach 24 hours ahead of the games and will be given an alternative workout to do while the team practices.
