General FAQs
What are Rain’s Coach Requirements?
What are the attendance & commitment expectations?
Players are expected to attend scheduled practices, games, and events. Consistent participation builds skills, chemistry, and accountability. If your athlete must miss, please notify the coach in advance whenever possible.
What communication standards can families expect once joining?
We value open, respectful communication among coaches, parents, and players. Updates are shared via Playbook – our team management app – in the form of email, text, or app push notification—once you’re enrolled and have the Playbook app downloaded, please check regularly for schedule changes and announcements.
Do you offer any sibling discounts?
Yes. Families registering more than one child in our Skills Program receive $20 off per month per child. The discount applies automatically at checkout when adding multiple players under the same registration.
What is Rain’s code of conduct?
Players, parents, and coaches are expected to uphold Faith, Family, and Fundamentals—showing respect, integrity, and sportsmanship at all times.

If weather or facility issues force a cancellation, families will be notified through Playbook and text alerts. Make-up sessions are offered whenever possible.
