| NICEVILLE WOMEN'S SOCCER Team Contract |
 | |  | |  | |  |
“INDIVIDUALS PLAY THE GAME. TEAMS WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS.”
We have all either played for or played against teams that lack the concept of being a team. Examples of this include: teams where there is one or two “superstars”
and the rest of the players are just taking up space; teams that only want to have anything to do with each other when they are on the field, but wouldn’t dream of
hanging out off the field; teams that have an individual or two who make choices in their lives off the field that end up affecting the team as a whole. Niceville has
shown in the past that we are not just a team in name only, but a team that understands that we are more than just a team --- we are a family. With that in mind we
cannot let our goal of winning a state championship be at the mercy of lesser things.
