What is the Regis University Soccer BRAND?
The Regis Men’s Soccer brand has been designed for the high level player. The student athlete who is committed to achieving the highest of standards in: •
Performance in the classroom -------- minimum of 3.3 GPA each semester
•
Performance on the field --------------- think TEAM first
•
Service in the community--------------- embrace giving back to others less fortunate than you
•
Team Collectiveness--------------------- demanding excellence out of one another
Goals you can Control
Work hard Everyday
If you work as hard as you can every day in everything that you do, then you are leaving nothing to chance and there is no room for excuses. That is taking ownership in how you can contribute to the success of the program.
Be smart with Nutrition
You control what you put into your body and that is a choice you make. Taking care of your body is a lifestyle.
Sleep
Proper rest and recover is essential if you are to stay healthy throughout this rigorous season. Sleep is another very important controllable choice no one can make but you.
Be a student of the game
How connected and engaged you are with your teammates as well as how committed you are to being a student of the game directly influences our team’s success.
Nutr ition G ui d e l i ne s The life of a college student athlete is demanding and stressful especially when your championship season is in the fall. If you are an incoming Freshman it can be very stressful and nutrition is going to be very important. To be successful in college, you need to put healthy food into your body that will allow you to deal with the daily hurdles that you will encounter.
What Do I Eat Eat things as close to their natural state as possible. If something is in its most natural state your body can break it down easier and convert it into energy. You also need to put the proper foods that will allow you to compete at a high level.
When Do I Eat Snacking is the best practice, constantly refueling your energy stores throughout the day will allow you to perform at a higher level. Avoid eating large meals and instead go with smaller, more frequent portions.
Plan Ahead This is going to be your saving grace. If you plan out your meals throughout the day you will save money and you will be less likely to make poor choices. Go to the grocery store or the dining hall and pick up fresh fruits and vegetables. Pack lunches and snacks for yourself.
Be Conscious Of What You Are Consuming For example, Sugars; Stay away from fake sugars. Gatorade has high sugar content; a better choice is coconut water. Drink plenty of water. Water is your FRIEND!!!!!!
Nutr ition G ui d e l i ne s I am so on the go how do I get a snack that is not processed? Local grocery stores have aisles that have nuts and dried foods. Pack a whole fruit like an apple, orange, pear, grapes and berries. Choose organic when you can. Be aware of what you are putting in your body.
When we travel it is so hard to pack We usually grab you all granola bars and fruit. When travelling, choose something that is going to be easy on your body. You need to put carbohydrates and protein in your body within an hour after competition to help your body recover faster.
Water The true drink of champions. You need to make sure you are bringing your water bottle to class with you and be hydrating continuously throughout the day.. A good measurement to go by is 1 fl. Oz. of water per lb. of body weight per day. Understand that a reduction of just 2% fluid can result in degraded performance by as much as 10-20%.
Breakfast The most important meal of the day. Breakfast should be a low fat high fiber, some protein and try to get a piece of whole fruit in.
Pregame meals Go with tried and tested foods to prevent indigestion and feeling uncomfortable.
Alcohol Wasted calories can dehydrate you and delay recovery. Drink responsibly and do not binge drink. If you are under 21 years of age it is illegal for you to consume alcohol in the state of Colorado. See program guidelines and University Student handbook for rules and regulations.

Regis University Men’s Soccer Player Commitments and Expectations Regis University Men’s Soccer program has always had lofty expectations. As a member of this program it is a privilege, not a right to participate. Always remember that you are representing not only yourself but your teammates and the university. We expect you to adhere to the guidelines outlined in the Resource Guide: •Social: •Practice: •Recruits & Visits:
•Team Meetings: •Academic: •Community Service:
•Team Travel: •Injuries: •Game Day:
Additionally we expect that members of our program: • Work hard in training and games to improve your understanding of the game. Understand the amount of playing time you receive in games will be based on your skills, determination in practice, punctuality, and attitude. I know that I may receive more or less playing time than my team members and playing time is not guaranteed. • Always have a positive and never quit attitude. • Be the BEST that you can be at all times in the classroom, on the field, and in my community; for me, my team, my club and my family. • If you have any personal or soccer related problems we are here to listen. • Follow Athletic Department policies and procedures regarding the issuance and return of equipment. • Learn the rules, policies & procedures of the Team, University and NCAA. • Win without boasting: Be generous when you win; graceful when you lose. • Conduct yourself with class and dignity…be professional at all times!!! • Respect all opponents, officials and coaches and accept their decisions without question. • Never engage in dissent, foul or abusive language, fighting, taunting, or violent conduct directed at any player, coach, referee or opponent.
Regis University Men’s Soccer Social Guidelines Alcohol consumption during season for all players is discouraged as it truly affects your ability to function.. (Alcohol should not be a factor) Do not break the laws of the state of Colorado or the Regis University policy regulating the use of alcohol. In addition to the laws of the state and university policy, members of the Regis University Men’s Soccer Team will adhere to the following: • Alcohol consumption during fall season is discouraged. The season begins with the athletes’ arrival for preseason training in August and continues through thecompletion of the fall schedule.
• If you are arrested or receive a written citation by any law enforcement agency for any Alcohol/drug related offense you may be immediately dismissed from the Men’s Soccer Program with loss of athletic scholarship.
• If you are written up by campus security and or residential life for an open container violation or any other alcohol related violation on the campus of Regis University you will subject to all rules and regulations of the athletic department and University up to immediate dismissal from Men’s Soccer Program.
• Do not use tobacco in any form (cigarettes, cigars, smokeless, etc.). It is strictly prohibited. • Do not participate in anything that will draw negative attention to you, the school or the soccer program. • Be mindful of what you post on social media platforms. • Treat faculty, staff, coaches and trainers with respect at all times.
Regis University Men’s Soccer Alcohol’s Effect on Athletic Performance • Drinking to intoxication can negate as much as 14 days of training • Training hormones are diminished for up to 96 hours (4 days) following alcohol consumption • Drinking alcohol after training negates the effect • Drinking alcohol after competition hinders recovery • Muscle protein synthesis (repair of muscle fiber) is diminished, predominately in your fast twitch muscle fibers • Players that drink are TWICE as likely to become injured • Alcohol compromises an athlete’s already vulnerable immune system (“Bottleflu” hits within 48 hours • The associated residual effect of the alcohol hang over has been shown to reduce athletic performance by 11.4%
Bottom line is drinking impacts your performance on the field and your decisions off the field. All our decisions are to benefit the best interest of the team. We need to avoid consumption of alcohol during the season for everyone to reach their goals.
Regis University Men’s Soccer Consequences for Violating Team Standards Any violation of team, Athletic Department or University policy may result in immediate suspension or dismissal from the team.

Regis University Men’s Soccer Community Service As long as you will be here at Regis University it will be second nature for the Men’s Soccer program to be engaged in Community service projects and Fundraising throughout the Academic year. This 2016/17 Academic year we will be participating in the following initiatives:
Kick off Community service / Welcome back event This event is sponsored by SAAC (Student Athlete Advisory Committee) and is our first chance to get together for the year. We will meet the Sunday before school starts August 21st at 8:30am on the beach. Then we will go down to Rocky Mountain Park and engage in our departmental community service project where we do several projects around the park to help beautify it for our community. Then the athletics staff will put on a BBQ lunch for all the teams to thank you for your hard work! The Schedule for the day looks like this: 9:00 am – 9:30 am – 11:30 am 11:30 am – 12:30 pm
Everyone will meet at the beach for check-in and to be placed on teams. We will then walk to Rocky Mountain Park. Park Clean-up Lunch
Dare to Play Soccer Clinics • The Global Down Syndrome Foundation (GDSF) “Dare to Play Soccer Clinics • With GDSF we will host 3 clinics for young people who happen to have Down Syndrome here at Regis University in the Fall with the 4th clinic being the match day at the Colorado Rapids on October 1st V Portland Timbers. Each player will PAL up with a young individual and facilitate a good time in a soccer environment.
Regis University Men’s Soccer Special Olympics In the spring semester we will help host the Colorado Special Olympics event here on our campus and we typically will help with set up, safety and refereeing during the tournament.
Team Impact 2017/18 will be our third year of being involved with “Team Impact”. “Team Impact” tries to help improve the quality of life for children facing life-threatening and chronic illnesses through the power of TEAM. We have adopted Trey Tatham, he is 10-years-old boy and is from Mead, CO. In December of 2011, Trey was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma which is a type of cancer found in the soft tissue. His cancer was found in his ear canal. Trey went through 48 weeks of radiation and a month of radiation. He is currently at 1.5 years with No Evidence of Disease (NED). He gets scans every 4 months to ensure the cancer has not returned. Due to the cancer and his treatments he has some palsy (weak muscles) on the left side of his face that he recently had surgery to try and address. He can communicate but is in speech therapy to try and work to get back to a point where his speech is clearer. He also is having some vision and hearing issues on the left side. He was able to go to school on and off during treatment but did need to stay back a year. Socially he does well. He is very self-conscious about everything happening with his face. He gets tired and frustrated that his body cannot keep up the way he would like it to. Trey has two siblings, Tommy is 12 and his sister Taylor is 11. They are scared the cancer could come back or that they could get cancer. They also had issues when Trey was getting so much more attention. Trey was matched with a team closer to home but they didn’t give him the support he needed and the family was awesome! They are more than willing to make the drive to make this a great relationship. As a program we are going to make sure that Trey has a great experience and that his brother and sister also feel comfortable with us here at Regis University
Fun d ra i si ng In 2017/18 the Men’s Soccer Program will be undertaking a number of Fundraising activities that will supplement our operating budget for the program. All dollars raised will go directly to the Men’s Soccer Program to help enhance the experience that we want you to have while you are here. All members of the program will be required to participate in these events so keep your calendars free. Trips, Skiing, Broncos games & concerts etc. will not be an excuse to miss these fundraising opportunities so please do not ask. Some of the events will include but not be restricted to • • • •
